From Microsoft:
Sep 25, 2017 The problem now is that Microsoft has stopped developed of FoxPro for the last 10-15 years, and the supporting tools have been slowly decaying. There is no longer an ODBC drive for FoxPro. So if you want to query a FoxPro database, you’ll need to use the OLE DB drivers. Dni: An MSSQL Server ODBC driver is not a VFP odbc driver, so how should it help? Cole Wu: Neither the VFP installation nor a service pack contain the VFP ODBC driver. It's a VFP6 thing, if at all, then it's not needed for VFP itself. VFP ODBC driver and OLEDB provider are only needed for other languages to access VFP data.
The Visual FoxPro OLE DB Provider (VfpOleDB.dll) exposes OLE DB interfaces that you can use to access Visual FoxPro databases and tables from other programming languages and applications. The Visual FoxPro OLE DB Provider is supported by OLE DB System Components as provided by MDAC 2.6 or later. The requirements to run the Visual FoxPro OLE DB Provider are the same as for Visual FoxPro 9.0.
Note: This version of the VFP OLE DB provider is the same version as the one included with Visual FoxPro 9.0 SP1. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

I've installed Visual FoxPro driver from this link on my 64 Bit Windows 7 Home Premium OS and tried to register vfpoledb.dll using REGSVR32. I could able to register this dll but when run my application which accesses VFP database is throwing the following error:
System.InvalidOperationException: The 'VFPOLEDB.1' provider is not registered on the local machine.
System.InvalidOperationException: The 'VFPOLEDB.1' provider is not registered on the local machine.
The same application is working fine in 32 bit Windows 7 Home Premium OS without any issues. I have googled for 64 bit VFP driver and found out that there are no VFP drivers for 64 bit OS from this link. Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

Acronis image software. I have found out that there is no 64 bit VFP Driver for 64 bit OS. All we have to do is to change the build option in project properties and set the Platform Target to X86 instead of Any CPU. Build the application for X86. Please refer to this for more details.

Visual Foxpro Oledb Driver 64 Bit
It's a bit late, but may helps somebody else:) You can use Advantage OLE DB Provider for Windows 64-bit, which works like VFPOLEDB. Example in python:

This Page describes how to run the 32 bit drivers on 64-bit windows. (You must set them up in the 32-bit ODBC Administrator.)
