D.2.2 Installation of Acu4GL for ODBC

The Acu4GL product for ODBC is an add-on module. The ODBC Acu4GL product installation includes a .DLL file that is detected at runtime. While in the past, 32-bit users needed to re-link the runtime, this is no longer necessary.

The Acu4GL product for ODBC can be executed only on a machine that is running any 32-bit Windows platform.
