Issue with DB Connectivity via SpotFire on a 64 bit machine

I am trying to establish DB connection to an ORACLE 10g DB. I have pasted the error information below. I am looking for some information on the issue.

System configuration:

• Windows XP SP2
• ARCH: AMD 64 bit
• TIBCOE SpotFire 64 bit

Error message: Could not open data source.

The Key error here is:

BadImageFormatException at System.Data.OracleClient: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B) (HRESULT: 8007000B)

The BadImageFormatException can occur if you are trying to load a 32bit DLL into a 64bit app, or vice versa.

From the sounds of it, either:

• You don't have a 64bit Oracle Client Driver installed, or
• The connection string is trying to load a 32bit Oracle Client Driver, or
• the client driver is actually corrupt.

It seems there is a way to force Spotfire to run in 32 bit mode, https://tibbr.tibcommunity.com/tibbr/#!/messages/66091 but I cannot figure out how. Does anyone know how to force spotfire to run in 32 bit mode?
