Cannot create TCP/IP socket: The parameter is incorrect. Socket Error Code: 87

I've just installed MyDAC 8.0 for RAD Studio XE4. When I try to open a query, I get the error message of the subject line.Image

My D2009 code connects to the database fine, as does my 32-bit XE4 code. It seems to only be in X64 code that this error occurs.

Any ideas? I'm desparate.

Hello.

You might run the application in such a way that it hasn't enough rights for socket initialization. To solve the problem, try running the application as administrator. Also, before running the application, make sure you are running it at a local drive, not at a network drive.
