How do I install just the Oracle ODBC drivers on a Windows NT workstation?

I want to access a remote Oracle database on my network via ODBC
from Visual Foxpro. When I try to set up the ODBC data source,
I'm told it doesn't exist. I downloaded the ODBC driver
(ora8175.exe) from Oracle, but I cannot get it to run.
I am new to Oracle, so any assistance you can provide will be
greatly appreciated. (I am very familiar with VFP).
Thanks,
Jeff

You have to install the Oracle client in order to be able to use
the Oracle ODBC driver. The ODBC driver relies on, among other
things, the network communication libraries of the Oracle client.
If you're willing to pay for an ODBC driver, Merant (now
DataDirect I believe) has an ODBC driver that doesn't require
the Oracle client to be present. I've not used it, so I can't
recommend it, but it's an option.

Install only the 9i ODBC drivers

Is there a way to have only the 9i ODBC drivers installed? I don't want this user to even have a hint of a chance to explore with the tools like SQL*Plus to the Oracle server. I understand the need to have the Net Configuration Manager installed so that a help desk person can configure the connection but can a custom install for only the ODBC drivers with the Net Configuration Manager work properly?

First, try doing a custom client install where you select only the ODBC drivers. That should, hopefully, install just the ODBC drivers and whatever supporting bits the ODBC drivers need. If that installs a tool like SQL*Plus, you can always delete the executables from the %ORACLE_HOME%\bin directory (or deny the user permission to them).
A friendly warning that if you're looking to do something like this you probably haven't implemented security properly in the database. Users should be given only the permissions they actually need to do their jobs, and shouldn't have permissions you wouldn't want them using when connected with any tool.

Unable to install 64-bit Oracle ODBC Instant Client on Windows 2008 R2 machine.

I am trying to upgrade the Oracle ODBC driver from the 32-bit version currently installed (ODBC Instant Client Release 10.1.0.5.0, April 2006) to a newer 64-bit version but have not been successful. I have had success at uninstalling and reinstalling the existing 32-bit version package (release 10.1.0.5.0) however when I've tried to install the 64-bit ODBC Instant Client (Release 12.1, December 2012), I run the odbc_install.exe application inside the package. it appears to run without issue/compliant, but then I do not see the 64-bit Oracle ODBC driver anywhere, either if I go via the traditional Administrator Tools --> ODBC Data Sources or if I go to the c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe route. Further investigation into the ReadMe file (ODBC_IC_Readme_Win.html) reveals that you need the 3 DLLs oci.dll, oraociei11.dll and orannzsbb11.dll which the package does not come with. Where could I obtain the correct version of these DLLs or else where can I get an installation package which already contains them?
Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thank you

How do I install just the Lion installer via the lion recovery partition.

I am trying to bootcamp windows 7 on my new macbook pro (early 2011), the installation was successfull but i am missing drivers on the windows side and cannot access the internet until i install them. I installed all the bootcamp updates and put them on a usb to transfer to windows partition but windows kept telling me i need an earlier version of bootcamp which is not available from the update support downloads section of the apple website.
After some research i realized i needed the mac boot disc for lion, which doesnt exist so i need to create my own. I was told i could install lion from the lion recovery partition.
here is my question....If i install lion onto my mac partition that currently has lion, can i stop the download after the initial 4 gb installer and not go through with the full re-installation of lion? so that i can then take the installesd.dmg (i think thats right) file and put it on a dvd to install from the windows partition and finally get the drivers i need to get it running.
Comment: based on what i have read on how you used to bootcamp a mac, apple has made it very difficult, unneccesarily difficult it seems.

Before you do anything else, I suggest a thorough read of this:

How do I install (just the required assembles without server licence) client library to a client machine so that I can invoke SSIS/SSAS 2012 remotely?

We are trying to figure the easiest way to install client lib on a machine to call SSIS/SSAS remotely (to a SQL Server 2012).
We have some .net code referencing SMO/AMO and Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.
1) For SMO, I found out this and it is quite clear about how to install on a client machine:
Installing SMO (SQL Server Management Objects (SMO))
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162189(v=sql.110).aspx
2) For AMO (analysis management object), I found out this but I did not see a clear instruciton of what and how to install on the client machine:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms124924(v=sql.110).aspx
3) For SSIS call, I did not find anything talking about the client installation.
Can someone help us?
Thanks.

Hi Sofiya,
Thank you so much for your help.
For SSIS call, we are using
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.dll
to call package deployed to SSISDB catalog at remote server using some .net codes.
I have few questions:
1) What is the difference between
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.dll
and the dll you mentioned:
Microsoft.SqlServer.IntegrationServices.Server.dll
2) If we install SSMS, can we also get Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.dll? Put another way, if we install SSMS, will Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.dll be registeredin GAC?
3) If we install Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices.dll at client machine, I assume we don't need to licence it. (Note: SSIS package itself will be running from the remote server, NOT the client machine which is used to invoke
the SQL 2012 packages).
Best regards,
Steven Rao
Hi Steven Rao,
Yes, you are right. When you want to start a SSIS 2012 package from a .Net application,
you need to reference the assembly of Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices .dll. The Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.IntegrationServices namespace contains the classes and interfaces to manage the Integration Services catalog
on an instance of SQL Server. It is only available in the GAC. For more information, see:
http://microsoft-ssis.blogspot.com/2013/01/call-ssis-2012-package-within-net.html
I also do a test, if you install the media of SQL Server Management Studio, usually, these assemblies are located in following folder as screenshot.
In the folder, C:\Windows\assembly

How do I install just the Quicktime Browser plugin?

So I would like to just have the Internet Explorer Quicktime Addon installed without having
the full quicktime 7 installed. How would I go about doing that?
Thank you in advance,

QTPlugin.ocx seems to be the add-on file itself. It doesn't appear to be asscociated with a Microsoft Installer msi on its own. Therefore I doubt can it can be just installed separately, without the entire QuickTime installed? You could pull QTPlugin.ocx out of C:\Program Files\QuickTime but then how functional would it be without the rest of the componentry of the entire QT install? And where would you put it?
Where the computer is Windows 7 it likely has Internet Explorer 11. Which seems to no longer support many plug-ins in favor of HTML5.

How do I install just the 32 bit versions of my apps..

I am working in MS Office 365 Enterprise now and all the Office applications run in 32 bit but Creative keeps installing the 64 bit version on my machine? How do I decide which version gets installed.

It should be installed under C:\Program Files\Adobe, rather than C:\Program Files (86)\Adobe.
[EDIT] In the Task manager, 32-bit processes have a *32 after them:
And the free utility Dependency Walker can differentiate: http://www.dependencywalker.com/

But the SQL scheduler runs on another NT account and the task failed.
How is it possible to install the Oracle ODBC Driver for all NT users ???
Thanks for your inputs...

How to install just the Adobe 7 Writer PDF printer

In our environment we need to be able to print to PDF, but we also have a 3rd party formcreation software that needs Adobe 8 reader to capture digitized signagtures.
After testing we have found out that we need to have the PDF printer functionality of Writer 7, and the digitized signature capture ability from 8. Problem is that the 7 install (no matter ther order of installation) take priority over the 8 install and does not let us use 8 to sign the document.
the ideal fix is being able to install just the pdf printer from 7 Writer.

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,
Jean-Valentin

Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

I have a custom built Java 6 application that doesn't like Photoshop CS5 64 bit edition. The program copies over a file from the network to the local machine and then opens it in Photoshop. The user manipulates the image and saves the changes. The user then completes the image and the application copies the image back to the server. The problem we're having is: When we use Photoshop CS5 64-bit, it takes about 2 minutes for Photoshop to open the image. The file is copied over within 2 seconds and the Photoshop icon on the windows taskbar starts flashing. But then you spend a few minutes waiting for it to open.
Some things that I have tried to isolate the problem:
- I found you can copy the file somewhere else, double click on it and the image will open in Photoshop before the script is able to open the file.
- I tried uninstalling Photoshop and reinstalling just the 64 bit edition without the 32 bit installation. The script just stops working in this situation.
- I tried uninstalling CS5 and installing CS3. The image opens as soon as the file is copied over.
What I would like to try next is to install just the CS5 32 bit version. But the installer is being uncooperative and will only allow either the 64 bit version or both the 64 and 32 bit versions. So, back to my question: Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

Do you mean schroot? If so I'm not sure exactly how well that will work out, because the part that depends on python is a deamon that handles communication between the USB dongle and the Tux Droid which may mean hacking the deamon a bit so ether way this does not seem like it will be a easy task.

What kind of problems did you get after installing the extension?
You can try to remove the history manually in the History Manager by doing a search for a colon.
How many history items do you have to remove?
If you only want to do this once or occasionally then you can consider to use this code:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/User:Dickvl/JavaScript_Error_Console#Expire_History_By_Days
You will have to calculate the number of days that you want to keep to remove only history items from 2013 and older (365+31+28+26)
You can open the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
Paste the JavaScript code in the command line and press the Enter key to run the code.

Why does installing JUST the Agent actually install so much?

I've just started an experiment involving running the OLT agent on a new machine. As I didn't want the whole OATS package, I chose the option to install JUST the agent... but the install appears to still install a LOT of files (I was wondering why it first complained that just over 1GB might not be enough disk space)!
You end up with very little in term of menu options (basically just "OLT Agent Authentication Manager") yet it has clearly installed >500MB. I'm sure at one point during the install I saw an OpenSript directry (but presumably this was later removed?)
Has anyone else encountered this?

Hi,
Yep, I've seen the same. As OATS now uses the Oracle Universal Installer, a lot of stuff is installed (or unzipped) and is then deleted. Not sure of the reasons why, but for now that is the way it stands. Sorry I don't have any magic for you :)
