Package Load Failure

Package 'CoreLab.Oracle.Vs.OracleDataProviderPackage' has failed to load properly.

I receive the above error upon opening Visual Studio 2008 after installing the Mobile OraDirect package.

OraDirect .NET Mobile version 4.70 for .NET CF 2.0 [size 2904 Kb] (trial)
Visual Studio 2008
Windows Vista Home Basic

I am kinda new to Visual Studio 2008 and mobile device development and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the problem report. The issue was reproduced and we are investigating it.
Sorry for the inconvinience.

This is an issue with installation. Please check if you do not have any other CoreLab ADO.NET providers installed. If you have any, please temporary uninstall them.
Then check the folder %WinDir%\Program Files\Common Files\CoreLab\Data Providers\ and if it exists, remove it.
After that, please install any CoreLab ADO.NET desktop provider (trial) and then remove it. That should help.

I have tried your suggestion many times with no success.

I also tried installing the desktop ADO.Net provider (oranet2) and it works fine as well as the developer tools for VS. I can install oranet2.exe and the developer tools, but once I install the oracle mobile tools (oranetmob2) It fails with the same error.

I am trying to develop a feasibilty report for the university I work for and this is a crucial piece for what we are trying to do. I greatly appreciate your working with me on this issue.

Is there anything else I can try?

Try to do the following:
- Completely uninstall all CoreLab ADO.NET Providers.
- Install the mobile OraDirect .NET Trial edition.
- Then check if the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Packages\{7A24CFC5-F408-4574-8B07-078DFE413305} is present. If it is, remove it. Be aware that desktop OraDirect .NET functions will be disabled after this action.
Please notify me about the results.

I still receive the error.

I uninstalled everything, then reinstalled the mobile trial edition. Checked for the registry key, and it was not there. Opened VS and got the same error as before.

Try to remove the value {7A24CFC5-F408-4574-8B07-078DFE413305} from the following registry entries.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\AutoLoadPackages\{{adfc4e63-0397-11d1-9f4e-00a0c911004f}\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Menus\

and the whole entry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\InstalledProducts\OracleDataProviderPackage
