Problem loading Oracle client

Hello,
I have a problem when connecting to Oracle (ASP.NET, OraDirect 2.5). I get the error "Can not load Oracle client. Check your PATH environment variable and registry settings."
I did check my PATH enviroment variables and it is the first and it is set to the Oracle home /bin (C:/oracle/ora92/bin). What registry settings are requested? Am I doing something else wrong? Thanks in advance. AR Mentor

You may solve the problem if read this topic

Or send us a value of your environment variable PATH, and registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE.
We are facing the same problem and the link is no longer working

Oracle client can not load some libraries. Please check that the path to oci.dll is included to your PATH environment variable and it is the first. Check that your site have rights to load unmanaged libraries.
That did not work

The PATH environment variable and it is the first and is set properly.
The site has rights to load unmanaged libraries.
I can connect to the oracle database using the following
1. SQL Plus
2. PL SQL developer
3. CoreLab connection object in design time.
Despite of the above whenever I try to run any page that connects to the database it errors out with the following message.
Can not load Oracle client. Check your PATH environment variable and registry settings.
Please help.
Regards,
Ronak.

Check all your permissions.
Try to set OracleHome explicitly in the ConnectionString.
Which version of Oracle Client do you use? Don't you use Instant client?

hi, I have the same problem now. I debug deep into the code, and found
an exception throw here:
Code: Select all
public void Open()
{
try
{
_connection.Open(); //the type of _connection is
//CoreLab.Oracle.OracleConnection
}
catch (OracleException e)
{
throw new TBException(e);
}
}
content of exception: Can not load Oracle client. Check your PATH environment variable and registry settings
then I checked my path environment variable which seems okay:
C:\Oracle\product\10.1.0\Client_3\bin;C:\Oracle\product\10.1.0\Client_3\jre\1.4.2\bin\client;C:\Oracle\product\10.1.0\Client_3\jre\1.4.2\bin;c:\Program Files\Topobase3\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Support Tools\;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;C:\Program Files\Perforce;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files\Autodesk\MapGuideServer6.5\Bin\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\
and also i checked registry settings, because I can run this on my VMware,
I compared these settings, but I find no difference.
I give full control to every one within C:\Oracle, but nothing changed.
I now use oracle 10.1.0 client, this drive me crazy, do you have any ideas? I just want to know which parameters CoreLab.Oracle.OracleConnection.Open() needs?
Thanks in advance.
