Hello,

If you are using Instant Client, you should add an entry to the registry and the path to the PATH environmental variable. Also specify the name of the client in the property:

Code: Select all

  UniConnection1.SpecificOptions.Values['HomeName'] := 'HOME_NAME';

If you don't add an entry about the client to the registry and environmental variables (and no other clients are installed on the PC), then the Oracle library will be loaded either from the folder with the application or from the ..\Windows\system32 folder.
