dotConnect for Oracle for Windows 2008 server(64 bit)?

danielliu8 · Post by **danielliu8** » Tue 16 Mar 2010 21:35

Hi,

I installed dcoracle525pro.exe on Windows 2008 server(64 bit), I also installed Oracle 10g client on the same
Windows 2008 server(64 bit), my asp.net application get following error:

Can not load Oracle client. Check your PATH environment variable and registry settings.

I checked server, Devart was installed under "C:/Program Files(x86)" folder, and there is no Devart under "C:/Program Files" folder.

Is it because dcoracle525pro.exe only works for 32 bit Windows 2003 servers? or do you have any dotConnect for Oracle for Windows 2008 server(64 bit)?

Thanks

daniel

dotConnect for Oracle should not depend on the computer's capacity.

Please check that the Oracle client which you are using is of a 64-bit version. Also, are you able to connect to your Oracle server by some standard tool, like SQL*Plus?

I have no problem to query oracle 10g table via SQL*Plus.

I tried to install 10204_vista_w2k8_x64_production_db.zip and 10204_vista_w2k8_x64_production_client.zip, neither working, same error message.

Is it the right version of oracle to install? if not, would you tell the correct url to download oracle client?

Is ther any other ways I could try to fix this problem?

Thanks a lot.

These should be the proper installation packages.

Please check that your 'PATH' environmental variable (My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables) contains the proper path to your Oracle client (it should be something like %Oracle%\product\10.2.0\client_1\bin ).

Also, please specify the connection string you are using and, if possible, send us a test project so that we are able to investigate the problem.

I fixed it by reinstall oracle db.

Thanks
