SQL Anywhere Client: where is it?

[#1]

We are about to flip the switch and upgrade from SQL Anyhwere 5.5 to 11. Our clients connect through ODBC to the database server, so I need to roll out SQL Anywhere ODBC client drivers so I can set up system DSNs in ODBC. My problem is that I can't find the client anywhere.

I can install the complete software on a machine, and I have actually done that for testing, but I don't want to roll out DB management tools to every user in our organization.

Where can I download "just the client" for SQL Anywhere 11?

In addition to what others have said, I am very glad that the dbclient.exe ceased after V 5.5. We have a legacy system (3rd party software) still running on V 5.5.05, and when connecting to the server from a client machine, dbclient.exe is often enough shutting down the connection when it isn't supposed to do so.

So, for me, the decision to put the client communication stuff in the DB interface DLLs in V 6 and above (and to support ODBC as an native interface) is undoubtly a really good one:)

When running on 32-bit Windows, I second José's recommendation to use the Deployment Wizard. Besides the ease to extract only the necessary client files (which will result in a small MSI file of only a few MB), it's really easy to redo the setup in case you want to switch to a newer build – so keeping several clients on a current build level is not much afford.
