I have downloaded Firebird_ODBC_2.0.4.155_Win32. I have also started ODBC Data Sources from the Control Panel. Now I cant find Firebird/InterBase driver in the Drivers Tab. I am sure that I installed Firebird. Why?

1Have you started the 32-bit or the 64-bit ODBC administrator? – Álvaro González Jul 26 '16 at 09:15

Is there a reason you have tagged interbase and interbase-2009 if your question is about Firebird and its ODBC driver? – Mark Rotteveel Jul 27 '16 at 06:19

As already hinted on by Álvaro González in the comments, a 64 bit Windows has two ODBC Data Sources: a 64 bit (for 64 bit applications) and a 32 bit (for 32 bit applications).
As you downloaded and installed the 32 bit Firebird ODBC driver, you will only be able to see it in the 32 bit ODBC Data Sources:
If you need the driver in a 64 bit application, you will also need to download and install the Firebird_ODBC_2.0.4.155_x64.exe installer from http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/odbc-driver/.
