New Company Error

Just got it but I can't set up a new company. Once I choose my difficulty and hit next I get:

[Microsoft][ODBC Driver manager] data source name not found and no default driver specified.

Any Ideas?
I'm using Windows XP64
I've tried both Fs9 and FSX

Tried uninstalling then reinstalling twice, even re-downloaded it, but I'm still getting the same error.

Just for grins, try starting the sim and getting it up and running and then try and start AH.   I can think of several ways to check this once AH is running but you'll probably have to go to tech support on the ODBC errors.  Way outta my league.

_popupControl();

I have it installed in C:\Program Files (x86)

I've tried several different company names all under 50 char.

I cannot load version 2.0 of Net Framework because it says I have Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 SP2 already installed.

Gave installing MDAC a shot on a fresh install, no luck.

One thing I will say is the uninstaller does not work correctly. Using Add & Remove I get a message that a restart will complete the action then it just hangs, Ive had it come back only once. Either way upon restart all the files are still there. When I reinstall the installer says it must remove an installed version and then once installed it tells me AH is already running.

BTW I'm doing this is on a clean install of Windows X64 (installed 3/19/09) thats up to date according to the MS updater. The only programs I have installed are Fs9 and FSX.

Where did you install AirHauler? Is in Program Files (x86) ?

Yes in the (x86) folder.

Are any of the following services needed for AH to operate? I have these set to manual or disabled.

ALERTER
CLIPBOOK
ERROR REPORTING SERVICE
HELP AND SUPPORT
INDEXING SERVICES
MESSENGER
NETMEETING REMOTE DESKTOP SHARING
NETWORK DDE

PERFORMANCE LOGS AND ALERTS
REMOTE REGISTRY
ROUTING AND REMOTE ACCESS

I think the problem is that you're missing the 32-bit DAO/Jet database drivers. There are no Jet drivers for 64-bit, but you should be able to install the 32-bit ones and AirHauler will use those.

I'll have a look for a link, but they're usually part of XP32 SP2.

I just read the Install on secondary computer? post and thought I would try installing on my work machine which has Vista64 on it, create a company and transfer the db back to my other CPU but I get the same exact error when trying to start up.

I gotta ask is anybody running on a 64 bit system?

I'm running Vista x64.....I did have a few problems at the onset (lost company config, didn't register landing, etc) but after I re-created the company all seems to be working fine.
