Yes, but it is the MSI which makes those entries in the registry. Changing the MSI to add a second driver name, without the irksome (64 bit) tag would be trivial.

Hi all,

would it be possible to rename the 64bit ODBC driver from PostgreSQL ANSI(x64) and PostgreSQL Unicode(x64) to PostgreSQL ANSI and PostgreSQL Unicode (same as the 32bit ODBC drivers)?

That seems very sensible ... but it's not really the driver itself, just the odbcinst.ini entries for it (or Registry entries on modern Windows).

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/odbc/reference/install/odbc-drivers-subkey?view=sql-server-2017

You could add aliases with your own registry entries and/or an odbcinst.ini if you chose.
