Hello my connectionstring right now for an oracle based app using dotConnect is connectionString="metadata=res://*/MiddleTierModel.csdl|res://*/MiddleTierModel.ssdl|res://*/MiddleTierModel.msl;provider=Devart.Data.Oracle;provider connection string="User Id=PM_LIVE_OWN;Password=dev;Server=ORADEVPIM;Home=oraclient11g_home32;Persist Security Info=True""

I noticed the Home attribute and I'm not quite sure if this is pointing to the correct location on my box. How can I confirm this? I am getting the error Can not obtain Oracle client information from registry. Make sure that Oracle Client Software is installed, or use Direct mode of connecting to server

1. Open your registry editor (execute "regedit" in command line), navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\BRANCH_OF_YOUR_CLIENT, and make sure that "oraclient11g_home32" corresponds to the content of the ORACLE_HOME_NAME variable.
2. Place the content of the ORACLE_HOME variable on the first position in the PATH variable of your operating system.
3. Make sure that capacity (x86 or x64) of your application and capacity of your Oracle client are the same.
