Can not load Oracle client

I just installed the latest Oracle client 11.2.0.2.1 and afterward I get this error. I have verified that the path appears to be correct and is not too long. My sql plus works, Rapid SQL works, but dbForge wont use any of my existing connections. It was previously working. I can tnsping my databases.

My application that uses dotConnect works fine. Devart Entity Developer also works fine.

What all should I check?

"Can not obtain Oracle client information from registry. Make sure that Oracle Client Software is installed, or use Direct mode of connecting to server."

Windows 7 64bit
Oracle 11.2.0.2.1 32bit
dbForge 3.1.170

The problem is that since version 3.1 dbForge Studio for Oracle includes full support for x64 operating systems and you only have 32-bit Oracle client installed.

You need to install x64 Oracle client software.
