Instant Client 10.2, WindowsXP - odbcad32.exe crashes

I tried to use IC 10_2 (Basic and ODBC) to access an Oracle Database with Microsoft Access.
I could configure a datasource with odbcad32.exe and use it with MSAccess successfully. Next step was a try to dynamically configure it from within MSAccess with API call to SQLConfigDataSource() in ODBCCP32.DLL. This works too, but I wondered I could'nt use it in the same session or do further calls to SQLConfigDataSource(). I had to leave Access and restart it.
So I tried the same with odbcad32.exe. There seems to be the same problem. Configuring a datasource once works, but trying to configure it a second time or configure another one (without leaving odbcad32.exe) ends in a crash.

Hi Laurenz,
this works, if you configure the datasources manually. But we want to check/configure the needed datasources from within Access-Application at startup dynamically. Only the first call to SQLConfigDataSource() works, the others fails.
So it seems that we have to open a service request.
Thank you for your answer.
Regards,
Gerhard

ODBC Administrator odbcad32.exe crashing

Whenever I try to set up a System DSN selecting Oracle ODBC Driver 9.0.1.8.0 it causes the ODBC Administrator odbcad32.exe to crash.
I am running Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.6.0 and Windows XP Professional.
I have tried installing the ODBC driver into a different directory, but that did not help.
I have to use a MS Access front end to connect to the database because that is where all the reports that I need to run were developed.
I am not a technical person, so any help would be appreciated.

Hi JMARKS6205-2,
Sorry for my delay.
Based on your description, it seems that you have checked the registry entries. On current situation, I suggest
that you should check again. Just to confirm.
Please open Registry Editor and navigate to the path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI
Since installation information for ODBC drivers is stored in this key. Please make sure that the required ODBC
driver file (psqlodbc30a.dll) is in the correct folder as described by the registry keys.
For more details, please refer to the following KB.
PRB: Error Message: "Could Not Load Translator or Setup
Library"
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Cannot get ODBC to work with Instant Client

Hi,
I am having problems getting ODBC working with instant client. This is what I have done so far:
1. I installed Instant Client from this page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/winsoft-085727.html
The file I downloaded was: instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
2. Next, I installed SQL*Plus with this file: instantclient-sqlplus-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip
Now I have SQL*Plus working with instant client.
3. After that I downloaded instantclient-odbc-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115.zip for ODBC.
4. I unzipped the odbc zip file into the Instant Client folder and ran odbc_install.exe. Now I have 'Oracle in instantclient 10_2' showing up in the drivers tab of ODBC Data Source Administrator.
5. Now, if I try to add add a DSN and choose 'Oracle in instantclient 10_2' as the data source, I get an error "ODBC Administrator has stopped working" (http://i50.tinypic.com/jifl2g.png)
I can add DSNs using any other data source without problems. The aforementioned error comes up only when I use 'Oracle in instantclient 10_2' as the data source.
Can someone please let me know how to resolve this?
I am running Windows Vista Business edition 32-bit.
Thanks & Regards,
Ubaidullah Nubar.

Two dimensions of compatibility/requirements:
Vertically - This is your application, APIs, .Net, operating system etc. that may define requirements on Oracle Client version, and vice versa.
Horisontally - "on the wire" or connectivity wise - Oracle certifies client - server interoperability at least two releases or major versions back/apart, so yes, 10.2 is/was* supported. See MOS interoperability matrix for your specific case.
(*was since 10.2 Database is out of support or even Extended support by now. Perhaps it is time to upgrade the server side also ;-))

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

Instant client on windows 2008 r2

Hi,
I've downloaded the zip files and followed the instructions here http://arswiki.org/wiki/Oracle_Instant_Client_-_Installing
For some reason I can't launch sqlplus.exe as it keeps crashing. I just get Oracle SQL*PLUs has stopped working, check online for a solution or close the program. I need to be able to install instant client version 10 on windows 2008 R2 successfully. Please help. Thanks.

Instant client 64 bit

HI,
I have a new compiuter that I am setting up. It was origionally installed as a 32 bit. However, a problem resulted in a re-build and OS 64 bit was installed. Now I am trying to install the ODBC 64 bit version and connect to Visual Studio. I have tried several times and I can create the ODBC connection fine,but when I try to use it from Visual Studio it gives me an error stating:
Attempt to load Oracle Client libraries threw BadImageFormatException. This problem will occur when running 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed.
I have tried the Instant client x 64 11.2.2
and several lower versions, but with the same results.
When I create the ODBC connection I do see that the driver is SQOAR32.dll
I am on a Windows 7 Machine.
How do I get the 64 bit version installed?
Thanks,
Trish

64 bit clients can be downloaded from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/downloads/index.html
That said, Visual Studio itself is 32 bit, so if you want the developer tools to work, you'll need a 32 bit client. If you're not using the developer tools in your project and you're compiling your project for AnyCPU or x64, the 64 bit client will work. If you're compiling for x86, you need the 32 bit client. (If you want to do both, you'll need two clients installed.)
edit - Actually, it looks like in this case you might be running into a problem of needing a 32 bit client & ODBC connection. The error mesage could be misleading here as Visual Studio itself is 32 bit. Did you create the ODBC connection using control panel? If so, that's a 64 bit connection.
32 bit ones are created using c:\windows\syswow64\odbcad32.exe

Instant Client Connection Problem - Excel 2007 to Oracle 10g

Dear users,
I would some help to connect Excel to Oracle.
I am using Excel 2007 (32-bit) on Windows Vista Enterprise 64-bit. I want to connect to an Oracle 10g database through our local network using ODBC. I need to fetch some data once into an excel sheet.
There are no firewall issues or connection issues between my current machine , as I can connect from my machine, using SQL developer as a local client to the Oracle Database which is on another machine on the network.
I tried to make an ODBC connection but Oracle is not listed as a driver.
I beleive ODBC is the best way to do this, but please correct me if I am wrong.
It is an Oracle 10G database.
I downloaded instantclient-basiclite-windows.x64-11.2.0.2.0.zip a
I also downloaded the extra ODBC components: *Instant Client Package - ODBC: Additional libraries for enabling ODBC applications.
I unzipped both in a folder called C:\instantclient_11_2
The system path included that. I checked after rebooting.
I placed my tnsnames.ora (which I copied from the server) in that folder.
I got ti from the server : D:\Oracle\Ora10gR2DB\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
I ran the exe "odbc_install" and It told me the ODBC was intalled successfully.
When I went the control panel, administrative tools, ODBC
In the user dsn tab
I added a new entry. I chose the Oracle driver (previously it was not in the list)
Used the following values
Data Source name: OracleL
Description 123
TNS Service NAme: I chose fro ma drop down menu our prod environment. (There are two entries with the production name, one in caps and the other in lowercase)
Userid: my username
I tried Test the connection and got this:
Unable to Connect
SQlState=S1000
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Any suggestions please.
Thnaks in advance.
A.
Thanks for all your help, in advance.

Can a program compilied with 32 libraries work with Instant Client 64 bit?

We are compiling our program on IBM AIX 5L and HP-UX PA_RISC with 32 libraries (using ORACLE_HOME/lib32)
for AIX and HP-UX RISC the only available Instant Client 10gR2 is 64 bit. there is no 32 version.

Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS + User profile Disks + App-V = Explorer.exe crashing all of the time

I have built a new RDS farm on Windows Server 2012 R2 with two Session Hosts and a combined Connect Broker/Web Access server. I had the farm up and running with User Profile Disks and all seemed OK. However, as soon as I installed the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS
client on the session hosts, the explorer.exe process started crashing for any user logging in via the Web Access site. The process crashes and restarts every five to ten seconds. It's the same for administrators. If they log in via Web Access explorer.exe
crashes, but if they RDP directly to one of the session hosts explorer.exe is fine. If I reboot the session hosts, then the first user to log in via Web Access has a stable desktop session (and appears to have a new profile as well). However, if that user
logs out and back in again, explorer.exe starts crashing again. The only applications I have packaged at the moment are Office 2013 and Firefox.
I tried disabling User Profile Disks, but this caused a whole bunch of other problems and I eventually lost the ability to log in at all via Web Access (errors about the user profile service). As this is a small pre-production environment I completed scrapped
all of the servers and rebuilt from scratch. Again, everything appeared fine until I installed the App-V client, then explorer.exe started crashing repeatedly for all users.
Has anyone come across this issue before? I have tried installing the App-V 5.0 SP2 Hotfix Package 2, but this didn't help. I have read in a few forums that App-V doesn't work very well with User Profile Desks, but I have not heard of this particular issue.
Similarly, SP2 seems to have a lot of problems, so I am going to try removing App-V RDp Client SP2 and installing SP1. I ahev also deleted User Profile Disks for the test users to recreate their profiles, but this didn't help either.
Any other suggestions welcome!

Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN

Instant Client on 64-bit Windows 7: Driver does not appear in System DSN tab when creating a new Data source.
What I did so far:
I downloaded the basic and odbc zips for Window 64-bit.
Unzipped the basic zip.
Unzipped the odbc zip to the same directory.
Added the dir path to the System Environment Variable called Path.
Double-clicked on the odbc_install.exe to run it from Windows Explorer.
Then I tried to add the driver to create a new data source but it does not appear in the list of drivers.
From a cmd window, I navigated to the instant client directory and tried to run odbc_install again.
I got the message: Oracle ODBC Driver with same name already exists.
What am I missing?

hello, I did it like that you say,but the result also is "oracle odbc driver with same name already exists". I don't kown what can I do it ,Thank you!

Sapinst.exe crashes on Windows 7 (ver. 6.1)

Hi,
I am trying to install Netweaver CE 7.11 on Windows 7 64-bit. Yes, I know it is not supported. But still, I would like to ask right about the reason sapinst.exe crashes.
So, sapinst.exe can be launched in Win 7 native mode, but it is not compliant with OS compatibility. So I am trying to launch it in Vista mode. But sapinst.exe crashes with error log like this (sorry for flood, but see below).
At the same time sapinst.exe launches in Win 7 native mode + 32-bit sapinst.exe launches in Vista mode. Only 64-bit sapinst crashes in Vista mode. I suspect this is related just to JVM and near that, and may be solved. Please, advise, if someone has more expertise than me or experience with such or similar situations.
Thank you.
Regards,
Anton

We already tried to resolve the problem with other measures like reinstall graphics driver, deactivate sound & printer mapping in the mstsc-options, deactivate the grpahiccard etc..
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
According to your description, we could try to fix that user profile for test:
Create a new user account and transfer the profile data.
Please follow the steps below to do that:
1. Open the Windows Explorer.
2. Click on View tab and Click on Options at the top right corner.
3. Click the View tab, and then click Show hidden files, folders, and drives.
4. Uncheck the box which states Hide protected operating system files.
5. Click Yes to confirm, and then click OK.
6. Locate the C:\Users\Old_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed on, and Old Username is the name of the profile you want to copy files from.
7. Select all of the files and folders in this folder, except the following files:
•Ntuser.dat
•Ntuser.dat.log
•Ntuser.ini
8. Right click and Select Copy.
9. Locate the C:\Users\New_Username folder, where C is the drive that Windows is installed on, and New Username is the name of the new user profile you created.
10. Right click inside the folder and select Paste.
11. Restart your PC and check if you are able to log in to default profile.

If i try to use 64 bit libraries, my iPlanet server won't start saying libclntsh.so.10.1 wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 while loading the php.
I would very much appreciate if any one has any ideas to pass thru this
Thanks

Configuration:
Solaris OS 5.8 (64bit)
iPlanet 6.0 (SP2) (32bit)
PHP v5.1.2 (32bit)
Instant Client 10.2.0.1 (32 bit)
I am able to compile and install php 5.1.2 and Instant Clinet 32bit libraris with my iPlanet Server. When i invoke a php script that contains oracle oci calls, the server processes them fine and at then restarts it selfs...
I see this in my server's error logs... basically its showing a crash in libclntsh.so.10.1 library....

ODBC Error: Could't find Oracle Instant Client in present directory.

I am getting the following error when I try to run odbc_install.exe with the Oracle 10g Instant Client Lite version 2:
Could't find Oracle Instant Client in present directory.
The 10g Instant Client Lite version (including the missing MFC71.DLL and MSVCR71.DLL files) is in the directory. What am I missing here??

Can you detail your configuration? What files are in the directories? Environment variables?

Instant client installation unavailable in ODBC data sources

I'm trying to install instant client to enable MS Excel to access an Oracle database. OS is Windows 7.
After installing instant client plus the odbc package, I can't see a new entry in the odbc data sources - only the standard Microsoft sources (Excel, Access, SQL Server) show up.
There's also an Oracle SQL developer installation on my computer. Connection to the database works fine in SQL developer - so the DB does exist and it is accessible.
Steps conducted during instant client installation:
- Downloaded basic lite instant client (11.2.0.3.0) for windows.x64
- Downloaded odbc package for windows.x64
- unpacked zip file to instantclient directory
- executed the odbc_install.exe in the instantclient directory. I'm not sure if this install.exe does anything at all. There was no error message but also no confirmation or reaction of any kind.
- executing the install file from the cmd window gave me a message, that the odbc drivers were already installed. So I guess odbc_install.exe was executed properly
- setting some system variables
     1) path variable: added instantclient directory to the ones already listed in path
     2) tns_admin: new entry, pointing to instantclient directory
     3) ld_library_path: new entry, pointing to instantclient directory
- wrote an tnsnames.ora file using the connect information also used in SQL developer
- saved tnsnames.ora file in instantclient directory
- rebooted computer to activate changes
When opening the odbc data source administration, I'm only able to see Microsoft drivers for Access, Excel, SQL Server. I'd expect to get an Oracle driver option to add to the installed drivers.
Wild & uneducated guesses about what might cause the problem:
- IC is installed on E: drive. Maybe some component is expected to be saved on C: (low likelihood, many others would have complained by now)
- Win 7 often asks for explicit permission to do this or that via popup windows. Maybe the odbc-component encounters such a request ans says "Ummm....???"
Any idea, what I might try to get an oracle entry in the odbc data source list?
Best regards
Peter

I'm not sure to be honest, but what I downloaded did not have a setup.exe.
Does what you're talking about allow you to connect to Oracle databases via ODBC? If so, is it downloadble from the Oracle site?
