C# application logs on to peoplesoft db on 32bit but not on 64bit

May 16, 2017 at 09:34 PM | 50 Views

A c# command line tool called crexport.exe works well. however, on a 64 bit windows machine is not able to authenticate to the database.

Same code completes without problem on 32 bit.

    Hi Aaron,

    The tool is 32 bit so you will need a 32 bit driver for your PeopleSoft database for it to work. It won't work with a 64 bit driver.

      So, basically I installed:

      • .NET Framework 32bit (offline installer has both versions)
      • CR for VS Runtime 32bit

      And I compiled my tools with a target of x86.

      That fixed the issue.

      In other words, the tool was not 32bit. Compiling against a target of x86 made it 32bits, and along with other 32bit tools installed, it worked.
