Windows Server 2008 Datacenter 64‐bit is not supported, what version of W2k8 are you running?

You also need to create a 32bit DSN

Hi Chris,

The screenshot shows you are installing from a network folder.

Could you please copy the installer (entire unzipped folder) to the local machine and try installing ?

Thanks,
