Installing Latest Oracle Client & ODT for Windows 7 64-bit

I have a Windows 7 64-bit. I would think that using 32-bit Java, 32-bit Oracle Client and 32-bit ODAC would work just fine on this operating system. However, I had no luck getting it to run. Here is what I did and a few reasons why I prefer to never work with Oracle products:
Installed 32-bit JDK/JRE (1.6 Update 25)
Installed 32-bit Oracle Client (11g R2) Home 1
Tested connectivity from SQL Developer successfully
Installed 32-bit ODT (11g R3) to Home 1 (installer noted upgrades and new installs)
Failed connectivity from all things windows (ODBC, ADO, ADO.Net)
Uninstalled 32-bit ODT
Failed to uninstall 32-bit Oracle Client Home 1 (oraparam.ini file missing among other issues)
Installed 32-bit Oracle Client (11g R2) Home 2
Failed to uninstall 32-bit Oracle Client Home 1 (told to use deinstall tool)
Failed to uninstall 32-bit Oracle Client Home 2 (told to use deinstall tool)
Failed to run uninstall tool in Home 1 (told to download standalone deinstall tool)
Uninstalled 32-bit Oracle Client Home 2 (completed successfuly with errors - seriously?)
Uninstalled 32-bit Oracle Client Home 1 (completed successfully, but couldn't delete folder)
Oracle.DataAccess and Oracle.Web are still installed in GAC. Uninstall attempts fail (access denied)
Installed 32-bit Oracle Client (11g R2) Home 1
Tested connectivity from SQL Developer successfully
Tested connectivity from .Net 3.5 successfully (using 32-bit 2.0 dll)
Tested connectivity from .Net 4.0 successfully (using 32-bit 2.0 dll)
Does anyone have any suggestions on getting Oracle Data Tools for Windows to work before I try that again?

I realize ODT uses ODP, but installing release 3 upgraded the .Net 2.0 ODP DLLs (which were installed from the Oracle Client 11g Release 2 install) and added the .Net 4.0 DLLs. After that install everything stopped working from Windows land and then it took the better part of two hours to get it back to what it looked like prior to the install. The other thing weird thing I noticed is that although Oracle.DataAccess is registered in the 2.0 GAC I cannot add a reference that way using VS2010. I have to manually add a reference to the file path. Although it still appears I do not have to have the assembly copied locally to run, so the GAC registration seems to be working in that regard.

    Actually i installed TOAD for oracle v9.5 on laptop with Windows 7 ultimate
    it gives 'Cannot find OCI DLL: oci.dll'. It seems TOAD for Oracle is a 32-bit only app, which means that it requires a 32-bit Client.
    You might also want to stay away from installing Toad under "Program files (x86)".
    Consider taking a look at Oracle SQL Developer - a very good alternative to the toad.

  • Can someone help me with installing the latest version of iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium?

    Latest version of iTunes for Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium downloads just fine.  But, fails to install. 
    "Unblocked and gave all permissions."  Still, no go. 
    I see by reading the other posts on this forum that I am not alone.  Any help?
    Frustrated!

    Ok...This was very odd.  I left the installation program, in what I considered a frozen state on screen.  After about 30 mins, to my surprise, It installed!  I'm not computer literate, so, I don't know what to say.  But, to just WAIT for it to respond!  Good Luck!

  • Having issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).

    Issues installing iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows 7 (64 bit).This install clobbered my previous version of iTunes. Error message is "service Apple Mobile Device failed to start". Cannot start the service manually even though I am the administrator of the machine. There is obviously some conflict that was recently introduced by a Windows update or in the Apple installation. I have tried removing iTunes and the AMDS (the Apple mobile device service) and reinstalling with the same error message.
    Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!
    Marilyn

    Hey there Marylin,
    It sounds like you are unable to start iTunes due to this error message even after uninstalling the iTunes application and the Apple Mobile device. I would recommend uninstalling not just those 2 applications but iTunes and ALL its associated applications with the following article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • Trouble installing latest Intel Display Driver for Windows 7

    Anyone else experiencing issues trying to install the latest Intel Display Driver for Windows 7, version 8.15.10.2057, dated 2 Mar 2010?
    This is the second updated driver release that refuses to install due the following error while running setup.exe: This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.
    I've verified compatibility and have disabled Switchable graphics and selected Integrated Graphics in the BIOS
    System: T400, 2764-CTO running Windows 7 (64-bit)
    Thanks...
    T400 2764CTO

    bwpotter,
    Appears you selected the right .inf file for Win7/64. Notwithstanding the error flags, are you sure the driver did not install?
    For WinXP/32, the equivalent file name is kit22686.inf. In the case of WinXP (likely similar for Vista and Win7), Lenovo's file-set will unpack to C:\drivers\WIN\DISPLAY2. The .inf file that appears in the Device Manager install-routine lives one level down, in C:\drivers\WIN\DISPLAY2\Graphics. Only one .inf file resides in this directory.
    When forcing installation of the driver under WinXP, error messages appear that are similar (but not necessarily identical) to those you encountered. Still, after a sequence of five or six such error messages, the driver does load and can be verified after a reboot. (The new driver has performed to spec for the past several days--no issues whatsoever.)
    The final splash screen in the series reports "Completing the Hardware Update Wizard." (This message does not, however, necessarily denote a successful installation.)
    In the case of WinXP, the errors appear to be generated by the installer, igxpun.exe (v1.2.30.0). Note that the flaky display driver installation should generate an error log. Search for an error log file using the string "*appcompat.txt" (no quotes) and see what it says.
    In the end, the problems with this package can be attributed to simple sloppiness (vendors commonly forget to eat their dog food) and should be quickly fixed if the community barks loudly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Oracle Client 11g on Windows 2008 64 bit ASP Connection Problems

    Hi,
    I'm trying to set up my old ASP applications on a new web server. I've moved from a windows 2003 server to 2008 64 bit.
    I've installed the Oracle Client 11g 64 bit drives and if I create a new ODBC connection tat works fine. But IIS will not connect.
    Connection string i've been using is:
    Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1; Password=******; User ID=*****; Data Source=*****
    All i get is no provider could be found.
    "3706 Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed."
    Can anyone help me out / point me in the right direction?
    Thanks
    Gareth Owen

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. The app pool is running in 64 bit. I've tried installing a 32 bit version of the oracle provider and shifting the app pool down to that and no joy either.
    Have tried changing the permissions on the Oracle folder which gives me no joy. It's as if IIS just has no access to the Oracle provider. But I just don't know how to get this working.
    Under windows 2003 things just worked when I installed the Oracle provider...

  • Remove Oracle client path from windows 2008 64 bit

    Hi All,
    I had to unstall the epm Hyperion product  after i found that installation need to done on a different language, which has oracle client for both 32 and 64 bit. But when i reinstall it is complaining about the oracle home path.
    Below is the error i get from the log.
    [FATAL] [INS-32053] The original name of the Oracle Home directory specified already exists.
        CAUSE: The name of the Oracle home directory Home indicated on the command line corresponded to a name of origin existing Oracle Home directory in the central inventory.
        ACTION: Choose another name for Oracle Home directory. Abandon this installation session and try again.
    I have made sure that the filesystem is completely is removed after the unstallation except for these client files which i have removed manually.
    Looks like the unnstalation doesn't happen correctly for the clients and old path is somewhere still exists. I have removed the client path from environment variable path list and tried again but no luck.
    Can anyone help me to identify the places where i need to look to remove the earlier Oracle Home.
    Thanks

    The registry, perhaps, or the inventory (which is in c:\program files\oracle or c:\program files (x86)\oracle - cannot recall right now).
    However, if you search Oracle Support for "windows clean machine," you can find an article that shows you how to remove every trace of Oracle software from your Windows computer.

  • Installing 186.81 Nvidia Drivers for Windows 7 64-bit on Lenovo Laptops 2700M/3700M NVS140M

    UPDATE: I removed old 186.03 info and replaced with new driver info. Also I changed the device ID for the 3700m becasue it was not correct. I finally got a w700ds to test it on. Removed pre-edited INF files becsue they are no longer valid.
    Here are some instructions on how to get the Nvidia drivers installed instead of waiting for Lenovo to update theirs. I take no responsibility if you break anything. I am a tinkerer and not a expert. It is working fine for me on a w700 with a 2700m.  The NVS140M section may not work I have no means to test it. Let me know if you do it and it works fine. This should also technically work for Vista 64-bit.
    1. Go tohttp://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_winvista_win7_x64_186.81_whql.html and download the drivers.
    2. Run the install package. It will fail to install but it will extract the drivers to C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\186.81\International\Display
    3. Using the below information to edit the appropriate INF files. Just open them with Notepad. There will be 2 instances of each line you need to replace.
    2700M/3700M
    Edit the NVBL.INF file.
    Search for:
    %NVIDIA_DEV.061E.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_061E&SUBSYS_0539103C
    %NVIDIA_DEV.063A.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_063A&SUBSYS_30EC103C
    Replace with:
    %NVIDIA_DEV.061E.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_061E&SUBSYS_212517AA
    %NVIDIA_DEV.063A.01% = Section009, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_063A&SUBSYS_211917AA
    NVS140M
    Edit the NVDM.INF file.
    Search for:
    %NVIDIA_DEV.0429.01% = Section002, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0429&SUBSYS_01FE1028
    Replace with:
    %NVIDIA_DEV.0429.01% = Section002, PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0429&SUBSYS_20D817AA
    5. Save the file and run the Setup.exe in the same directory. It should install fine.

    To simplify things for NVS 140M users:
    Download this file
    Replace the copy included with installer in the 'Display' folder
    Run setup.exe
    This file includes the fix mentioned in the original post, as well as a registry entry for enabling brightness controls, as they didn't work for me with the nVidia drivers.

  • Can't installed itunes for window 7 32-bit

    i cant installed iTunes 10.5.2 for window 7 (32-bit)...i already use any browser but still cannot install.

    All I can say is make sure you are the administrator and if not right-click on the installation program and click "Run as Administrator", and delete all traces of iTunes off the computer, i.e. delete the folder C:\Program Files\ipod as you say. Make sure it is the latest version of iTunes and is for Windows Vista (not XP). Another thing to point out is to make sure your Computer is compatible with iTunes 8.2 (perhaps try installing iTunes 8.0/8.1 by searching for the link in Google).
    If you have done all of that and it still does not install then I do not know what is wrong. As iTunes is one of the many applications i use 24/7 (pretty much) and I use it all the time, I would try installing it on a similar Windows Machine with a similar configuration and it works, I would reinstall Windows on your personal computer. If not, take the case further as I cannot think of anything else that could be wrong, so long as you have not edited the installation program or anything Good luck.

  • ODBC access to an Oracle DB running on Windows Server 64 bit?

    I'm being told by a company that there is no way to connect via ODBC from my Mac to an Oracle database hosted on a Windows 64 bit server. Does anyone know whether that is true, and if not, what tool or driver one could use to make the connection?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I was setting up VMware vCenter 4.1 (probably the only well known and largely used product with this lethal mix) and needed to setup an ODBC access to Oracle on the 32 bit side of Windows to setup the Update Manager server component, which is still a 32 bit application)
    The problem with Oracle configuration is that in no way I found a 32 bit ODBC registered driver after the setup (of the 32 bit client and the 64 database server). I tried some third party driver for oracle (e.g. easysoft).They registered in the 32 bit ODBC manager but they never got a successful connection.
    Also if this vCenter requirement is questionable (more questionable considering that the setup of this 32 component is not allowed on a 32 separate OS, not because it is separate but because is a 32 bit OS) I would get it working.
    Could suggest a way to get this working?
    Thanks
    Fabio D'AlfonsoWhen you install the Oracle client software on Windows (which is necessary to support ODBC, as the Oracle ODBC driver sits on top of the native client software) the ODBC driver is NOT installed by default. You have to go back and do a "custom" install and select the "Windows components".

  • I can't download itunes 10.3.1 for Windows 7 64 bit

    I can't download itunes 10.3.1 for Windows 7 64 bit.
    I tried the suggestion to delete existing iTunes before installing the updated version.
    I receive a message that a file is in use when I try to delete iPOD.
    I started Task Manager to stop services for iTunes as suggested but it is not listed.
    How do I install iTunes 10.3.1 for Windows 7 - 64 bit?

    I got the same message about the network resource that I can't access.  The only difference is that I couldn't install Itunes 10.3 because I can't remove the old version of Bonjour.  I couldn't get rid of anything in add/remove programs, but I went into my program folders and deleted everything that had to do with Itunes.  I also ran a Windows Cleanup Utiltiy.  Nothing will work.  I still can't remove Itunes, Bonjour, Quicktime, MobileMe Control Panel, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, or Apple Software Update in add/remove programs because they are on a network resource that I can't access even though I deleted them from the program folders.  This is very frustrating!
