Certainly, Windows 2012 R2 does not meet the pre-requisites for the ODBC driver installation. However, we currently allow the ODBC driver to install successfully (without errors) on this OS version (https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-sql-odbc/issues/146).
I am actually able to bring data into Excel on this OS version and it appears to work fine; the piece that crashes is the Test Connection button from the DSN setup.
Just filing to share a crash event for those who may run into something similar on unsupported Windows OSes.
