I am posting this *here* for 2 reasons:
1. obviously I got myself out of the membership of the ODBC
devel list somehow
2. The ODBC list is for developers only while my request is a support
question, is it not? :-)

Installed the latest driver 2.0.1.152 on Win-8 64-Bit.
Trying to add a 64-Bit DSN (from \System32\ODBCAD32.exe) I will
receive the message "ODBC administrator stopped working". For some
reason the form to enter connection parameters can not be displayed.

Trying to add a 32-Bit DSN (from \SysWoW64\ODBCAD32.exe) everything is
fine. But I can (of course?) only specify the 32-Bit fbclient to be
used, which then will not work in the x64 edition of our application.

I don't have an idea where to look and for what. Does somebody have an
idea what I can try next?

It must be somehow related to something which I had installed on each
Win-7 station, but which maybe is missing on a new Win-8 station:

VC++ runtimes are installed:
- 2005 (x86)
- 2008 (x86 and x64)
- 2008 SP1 (x86 and x64)
- 2010 (x86 and x64)


Thanks!
André
