I cant get eqitems to work for the life of me. I downloaded eqitems.rar and ODBC_DRIVERS.zip. I am running Win2008 R2 64-bit server. I followed all the instructions. I installed the mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.25-win32.msi. I registered all the .ocx files. After installing the ODBC drivers, I realized they were 32-bit...so I downloaded the 64-bit drivers from oracle and still wont work. I read through all the posts and tried everything that was suggested...
-Ran the register_ocx.bat
-Manually registered each .ocx (regsvr32 a.ocx , etc)
-Ran for %i in (*.ocx) do regsvr32 %i

Here is what I get....

eqitems -- Error in Connecting to the Database - perhaps a missing version field in Variables tables?

eqitems -- Run-time error '-2147024894 (800700002)': Automation error The system cannot find the file specified.
