Could not see Oracle ODBC driver in Windows ODBC

Hi,
I have install the runtime version followed by custom->Windows Oracle Interface successfully.
Any other steps that i have missed out or lack off in installing the Oracle ODBC driver?
Thanks in advance.
Tony

It's not a plot, but it's sneaky.
I had the same problem when I installed Oracle 10 client. There is a similar issue on the Oracle forum (Re: ODBC Driver Install Problem. Basically, what was happening is a line had been entered in the ODBC Drivers file that contains "@=". Anything following that line is NOT displayed in the ODBC Admin list.
To fix this problem, open Regedit and export the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers" key to a file. Edit the file to remove the line "@=" and save the file. Delete the registry key, and merge in your updated file.

    If this is a type-4 JDBC driver, it could occur if the JDBC
    driver is not in the system CLASSPATH.
    If this is a type-2 JDBC driver, it may also indicate that
    the Driver native layers(DBMS client lib or driver DLL)
    have not been installed properly on your system
    or in your PATH environment variable.
    This is most likely caused by one of the following:
    1. The native layer SO, SL, or DLL could not be found.
    2. The file permissions on the native layer SO, SL, or DLL
    have not been set properly.
    3. The native layer SO, SL, or DLL exists, but is either
    invalid or corrupted.

    Most likely, the OCI libraries could not be loaded.
    Before continuing down this path, is there any reason
    why you want to use an OCI based Driver as opposed to the
    all Java Oracle thin driver ?There is indeed a valid reason for my choice.
    I am currently connecting to the Oracle "Rdb" 7.0 database (located on
    VMS) - not Oracle Oracle.
    The SQL Service software we're currently using is version 7.1. This
    version works well with the OCI8 driver (when connecting to the
    database from Windows NT). This version of SQL Service however does
    NOT work for the THIN driver (unless we upgrade the SQL Service to
    version 7.1.5.5 - which we're not prepared to do so because it is not
    stable enough from our previous test/trials). SQLSRV Version 7.1.5.5
    works for THIN driver but it will result in uncommitted
    transactions/unresolved connection/stopping of listener issues and
    there is a need to restart the service from time to time. Oracle has
    since confirmed that this is a bug that they have yet to resolve...
    So we have to stick to OCI8 (THICK) for the time being. I would really
    appreciate it very much if you can tell me the various OCI libraries
    that I need to load (in terms of WebLogic Server config file settings
    etc..).
    By the way I have already installed the Oracle 8 client software on
    the NT server (where WebLogic Server is) and I have also set up the
    relevant SID (using the Net8 Assistant) that points to the Oracle Rdb
    database on the VMS. I have also tried using SQL*Plus to connect to
    the database and I can connect properly to the database. But WebLogic
    simply doesn't seem to load the software.
    Help...

    If you are trying to use the thin driver you need to make sure you have the

    driver from Oracle website.

  • How can I do to get Oracle ODBC driver in Windows?

    Hello,
    Please, I need help to use Oracle ODBC driver in Windows 7. I installed Oracle Client 10g with the ODBC driver, but I can't use it. OracleODBC driver don't appear in the driver list when I want to create a new datasource. How I can do to get Oracle ODBC driver for create a new datasource?
    Thank
    Edited by: user4528703 on 13 mars 2010 02:01

    Hello,
    To get the ODBC driver you should run a custom Oracle Client installation and Select
    Oracle Windows Interfaces 10.2.0.1.0.
    Then, you'll get the Oracle ODBC Driver 10.2.0.1.
    But, be aware that Oracle didn't certify Windows 7.
    So, if afterwards, you experience some trouble, think to install Oracle with Xp compatibilty mode, or
    wait to Oracle 11.2.0.1 which will be certified on Windows 7.
    Hope this help.
    Best regards,

  • ODBC Driver in Windows XP.

    When I attempt to connect to the Oracle ODBC Driver in Windows XP I get an error IM003 (Driver could not be loaded, system error 5) If I run the application from an administrator account, the driver works fine.
    I am using Oracle v9.2010. I am trying to connect from the same computer that is running the database without any other drivers/clients installed.
    I am using C to develop the application using the ODBC API.

    You probably need to grant the non-Administrator user read/execute rights on the %ORACLE_HOME% directory & subdirectories. You probably don't need execute on anything other than %ORACLE_HOME%\bin, and you probably don't need read access on every subdirectory, but I don't see much of a security threat from giving everyone read/execute to the whole directory.

    After that I manually added the ESSBASEPATH and ARBORPATH as Environment Variables (USER).
    And also I manually added the essbasepath in bi-init.cmd file.
    Finally I tried to connect essbase with BI through BI Admin Tool, I get the following Error
    "*Admin tool could not load the essbase driver.Please check the configuration*."

    Until you perform the configuration on the AD server, the following message will appear:
    Error: Could not start the SSO service. Please check the configuration.
    So configure the AD server so that the error message will not appear again.

  • Could not reconnect all network drives

    I have several drives mapped on different Windows 7 boxes in my office.  Just about every time I boot up one of these systems I receive the message "Could not reconnect all network drives" in the system tray.
    I should note that merely clicking the drive inside Windows Explorer will restore the connection.  I store the server logon credentials in Control Panel / Credential Manager then just map the network paths to drive letters.  I'm pretty sure the
    problem doesn't stem from any credentials type of problem though, because I have the exact same situation when connecting to only open shares.  I have noticed that a couple applications will restore the connection themselves when trying to access information
    on a share.  Most applications however will give an error and time out trying to access the shares unless I go and manually click each drive letter in Explorer.  For instance if I place Firefox bookmarks on a share and open Firefox, Firefox will
    display no bookmarks until I click the drive in Explorer and reopen Firefox.
    One thing I can do to fix the problem is hard code my IP address. I never receive the message if a computer has fixed IP address.  My router hands out IPs on the LAN dynamically, so I switch it to another router and tried a using a Linux based dhcp-server
    as well.  Neither fixed the problem.
    I'm a long time user of batch files and realize I could place use one as a band aid for this issue, but I don't want to go that route.

    Hello marstech,
    According to the research, the mapped drive lost issue may be caused by the several possible reasons:
    Possible reason1. The problematic client doesn't reconnect to the target share at logon.
    Please follow the steps to re-configure the mapped driver on the client and then check if the issue will re-occur.
    Steps:
    a. Open "My Computer"
    b. Click on "Tools" and then select "Map Network Driver"
    c. input the \\ipaddressofserver\sharename to give the path of the share
    d. Check "Reconnect at logon"
    e. Drive gets mapped
    f. Double click on the drive to check.
    Possible Reason 2. Antivirus software or Windows Firewall may block the SMB protocol on clients.
    Please check if there is any Antivirus software and the Windows Firewall is enabled on the problematic client. If so, please disable them to check if the issue can be resolved.
    Possible Reason3. Fast Logon Optimization is enabled on the clients. 
    The fast logon feature may affect the display and drive letter assignment of a mapped network drive. As a result, the drive may have been mapped; however, the user on client cannot see it in Windows Explorer. He may recognize it as a failed network drive mapping.
    This is the reason why we usually suggest you to disable fast logon on the clients via a GPO, and please check if the mapped network drive will be occur under this circumstance.
    Please also configure the following group policy setting to disable Fast Logon Optimization to see if the issue still exists on the problematic clients.
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
    When this policy is enabled, a Windows XP client behaves in the same manner as a Windows 2000 client at both system startup and at user logon.
    Please note: As this is a computer configuration, please run "Gpupdate /force" and then reboot the problematic clients to make it take into effect.
    For more information about Fast Logon Optimization feature, please check the following KB article.
    305293 Description of the Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization feature
    http://support.microsoft.com/?id=305293
    831998 Mapped network drive shows no drive letter or will not allow you to create new long-named files or folders
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831998
    297684 Mapped Drive Connection to Network Share May Be Lost
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297684
    If the issue still exists on the problematic clients, please also try adding the following registry subkey on the problematic client to check it works.
    Steps:
    a. Click Start, click Run, type REGEDIT, and then click OK.
    b. Locate and click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NetCache
    c. Click Edit, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
    d. Type SilentForcedAutoReconnect , and then press ENTER to name the value.
    e. Double-click SilentForcedAutoReconnect .
    f. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
    Please feel free to let me know if you have any concen.
    Hope the information can be helpful for you.
    Thanks and Regards

  • Bootcamp does not see replacement DVD drive in Mac Pro3,1

    Recently purchased  LG Super-Multi Drive - Mac Pro Kit 24X 5.25" Internal DVD/CD Writer from OWC and installed it in lower DVD drive according to the manuel provided including wire to Sata plug in Mac Pro3,1. A difference is that Top of 2 DVD ports has a faulty drawer door so I have removed the original Apple DVD device from it.
    I now have  DVD access/play  using LG in Mountain Lion with bottom Drive but none at all in Boot Camped Windows 7 or 8 which do not see the SATA drive in lower drawer.
    Wondering if there is any fix for this.

    My Latest email back & forth with OWC:
    My Mac Pro is 3,1 early 2008. My understanding before purchase was that it would work in Mt. Lion and Windows.
    Is there anyone who knows how to make this work?
    This is a very well known issue that was discovered shortly after the 2006 Mac Pro first shipped.
    Sincerely,
    OWC Andy

  • My iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?

    Hello Friends,
    I've two iPod Nanos (4th gen - 8GB). I'm facing a severe problem with both of them. For both iPods, I tried to do this method Simultaneously press the top button + home (central) button. But of no use.
    1. My first iPod is showing a white screen. I could not see anything. But I can listen to songs by blindly pressing the play button twice. The battery comes only for an hour.? How do I get the display and longer battery?
    2. My second iPod is facing more severe problem. None of the buttons are working. When I connect it my PC it showing "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting". But it is not ejecting with all the usual methods. When I manually and physically disconnect it from the PC the same "CONNECTED- eject before disconnecting" is still showing till the battery goes off. After that if i press any button it is showing low battery signal. And when i re-connect it to the PC the same process is repeating. When I tied to restore it to the factory settings I'm getting "Error" report.
    (I'm using windows 7)
    Friends, Please help me with the above problems. It will be a great help.
    Thank You.
    R.SAMALA

    Sounds like some hardware issues, meaning you'll want to take or send the iPods in for service or repairs. You can choose to have Apple do an out of warranty exchange for the prices indicated in the link below or find another third party service perhaps even local to your area.

  • ITunes are not seeing my external drive as the library

    Hi, I'm struggling to get music on my iPhone.
    All our music is stored on an external hard drive that we use with our iPods. My wife and I recently got iPhones and we're trying to put some music on them.
    iTunes is setup to get the music from the hard drive but for some reason I can not access it any more. My problem is that iTunes are not seeing my external drive as the library.
    Here's how I've set my iTunes up:
    Edit - Preferences - Advance
    iTunes media folder location: J:\Lacie_iTunes (that's where the music is stored)
    Now this worked perfect with our iPods but for some reason iTunes is not seeing the music anymore.
    In iTunes, if I click on Library and then Music all I get is a screen to either download music (with tutorials) or import CD's (with tutorials).
    I'm using iTunes 9 and Windows 7, the iTunes version on my wife's laptop is an older version but I do not think that that is the problem.
    Any advice would be MUCH appreciated!

    Setting the iTunes Media folder in preferences only moves the content to the external drive. The library database files will still be at the default location of ...\My Documents\My Music\iTunes. When you move the portable drive from one machine to the other you'll have access to the content, but not the database hence you get an empty library and the prompt to add some content.
    See this recent post for pointers on how to rearrange the database & media folders so that everything is truly portable. I don't have time just now to rewrite the instructions for your specific drive & folder names but if it's not clear I'll pop by later and write them out again.

  • "Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan

    "Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan with a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus All-In-One network printer.
    Printing is fine.
    When using the HP Scan application, get the error "Scanner communication cannot be established".
    When scanning from the printer itself it fails with the same message. In addition the printer panel displays the error:
    "The scan could not be completed due to one or more of the following issues:
    Connection to the computer is lost
    The scanner is in use
    OCR application is not installed"
    My PC is a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit, with ethernet cable to the router and ethernet cable to the printer
    Originally ran Windows 8.0; recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.
    Older separate Netgear router and modem was replaced with a newer Netgear Router/Modem, but both experienced the same problem.
    There was no problem with the original Windows 8.0 configuration and only after upgrading to 8.1 did the problem emerge.
    On my home netowrk I have an HP ProBook 6550b running Windows 7 sp1 that uses wireless to get to the Router, and it has no problem with scanning.
    I have followed the recommendations of a number of articles relating to this issue (including: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​lc=en&docname=c02915410&product=4323659#N94), but there has been no change in behaviour.
    The printer has a static IP address;
    Power settings have been adjusted to Never for Turn off Hard Disk; Sleep and Hybrid Sleep.
    Scanning has been tested with all firewalls and antivirus turned off and in Selective Startup.
    The printer has been plugged directly into the power socket.
    With all these settings the Windows 8.1 cannot scan while the Windows 7 laptop with wireless to the router has no problems.
    Appreciate any insights into this problem.
    I can only surmise that the problem is a compatibility problem between the 8600 Printer and Windows 8.1.
    Any ideas?
    regards,
    Motorbike

    You can determine if there is compatiblity between the printer and PC by checking the Windows 8.1 hardware compatibility list. I have done that and it is shown to be fully compatible.  If the driver you installed before was only the basic driver,it would explain the lack of scan and copy functionality.
    Download and install the Windows 8.1 full feature driver and software on the HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit PC .

  • Could not load assembly or file "crystaldecisions.windows.forms"

    Hi,
    I have a VS2005 C# .net application which works fine when I run on the programming machine.
    Now , I copy all files (dll , pdb , exe) from the Project's "..bin\Debug " directory .
    These files I transfer to another computer which does not have VS 2005 .NET installed (or any separate crystal reports program), but it does have .netframework 1 and 2, so that I can test the application on that "test" computer.
    When I double click the .exe , I log in and then I click a menu item which shows a form which has a crystalreport viewer in it.Here , an unhandled excepion error is shown like this...
    Could not load assembly or file "crystaldecisions.windows.forms" version 10.2.3600.0
    Note please: I have not created an installer(.msi) package for our application yet.
    The application does not refer to any crystal reports dlls in it's directory
    Thanks -

    Hello Dimitar,
    If Crystal Reports is not properly integrated into your VS IDE you'll usually see that kind of message.
    You have to make sure that Crystal Reports is properly integrated into Visual Studios.  Do you have a full version of Crystal Reports installed on your Visual Studios .NET 2005 development machine? If so, what is the version of Crystal Reports?  Open Crystal Reports, go to the Help menu, and then About Crystal Reports.  What is the version number and name (listed near the top)?
    Now open Visual Studios and go to Help > About VS.  In the list of Installed Products what does it say for Crystal (usually near the bottom of the list).  Please DO NOT include your keycode - just what it says for Crystal.
    Sincerely,
    Dan Kelleher
