I recently upgraded my vCenter server to 4.1 and i'm trying to install view composer on this server. Not quite sure about the database DSN. I setup a 32bit DSN on that server and when i go thru the install i get an error. I don't see the DSN i setup and when i try to create one with the istall the error i get is...Setup failed to execute teh ODBC Administrator : odbcad32.exe. I'm guessing the error is because it's pointing to the 64 bitODBC and not the 32 bit. This is a 64 bit server. Just can't seem to get the install rolling. Any thoughts?? Thanks.

View Composer Server 2.5 is a 64bit application and requires a 64bit DSN.

You can also look at page 31 of the install guide for information on how to setup the DSN, http://www.vmware.com/pdf/view45_installation_guide.pdf.
On a side note composer will work on X86 OS it's vCenter 4.1 that requires the X64. We ran 4.5 on vCenter 4.0 update 2 X86 for at least a month before we moved over to vCenter 4.1
