Interesting angle on 'Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed' error

Hi, I am getting the "Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed" message when running a .bat->VBScript script using Windows Task Scheduler. I am not seeing a solution in Google searches. Possibly I am not seeing the similarities because of a lack of detail in posts. Who knows.
Info as follows:
- Installed ODAC1120320_x64.zip using my personal user account.
- Using my personal user account there is no problem. I use file explorer to run a .bat file that in turn calls the VBScript.
- Using the System account and Windows Task Scheduler the script fails with the above error.
- File ACLs for the Oracle home\..\bin directory give full control to the System account
- ACLs for the ORAOLEDB.Oracle registry key gives access to the System account. I am assuming that all other key-value pairs involved in this problem have the same ACLs.
- Hosted on Windows 2008 (VM)
- The scripting language is VBScript, called from a .bat file. Task Scheduler calls the .bat file.
- The scheduled task has the "Run with highest privilages" box checked (same problem with the box unchecked).
- This configuration and script works well on an older Windows 2003 (dedicated) server
- Connection string:
"Provider=ORAOLEDB.Oracle;" &_
"User ID=[DB Schema Name];Password=[password];" &_
"Data Source=[TSN name];"
- I can mess with aspects of the TSN name and file without a change in the error message
Thanks for your help.

We got the same error under windows 2003 SP2 and Oracle 10g release 2. Is there any problem with this provider in this release? We installed downgrade version of this provider, it is working. Is there any other way to avoid this error without going for downgrade?

"Provider cannot be found.It may not be installed properly"

Hi All,
I am running into this error "Provider cannot be found.It may not be installed properly" while I am trying to connect to Oracle from Excel VBA.
I had installed both Oracle 10.1 and Oracle 10.2 in the same machine and is working with .NET applications.My .NET applications works fine.But when I try to connect from within the EXCEL VBA,it gives me this error.
This is my oracle client folder structure
Oracle 10.1 -> C:\Program Files\Oracle\product\10.1.0\Client_1
Oracle 10.2 client -> C:\Program Files\Oracle\product\10.2.0\Client_2
Oracle 10.2 ODAC -> C:\Program Files\Oracle\product\10.2.0\Client_1
As part of working around this error,I have uninstalled my 10.2 and now I just have 10.1 in my local machine.
This is the code snippet where the error occurs in VBA
Set Conn = New ADODB.Connection
Conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Data Source=datasource;User ID=userid;Password=pwd;CacheType=Memory"
Conn.ConnectionTimeout = 60
Conn.Open
I would really appreciate any help as I have been working around this erro for the last 2 days
Thanks much!

Hi,
Why do you have 3 Oracle homes?
Mutliple Oracle homes on Windows is a pain at best. Oracle's OLEDB and ODBC drivers require that their home be first in your PATH.
Generally you can have as many homes as you want, but can only USE the home that's first in your PATH, and things like OraOLEDB, being a com object, can only be installed into a single home.
In your registry, what does HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{3F63C36E-51A3-11D2-BB7D-00C04FA30080}\InprocServer32\(Default) point to (the entry for Oracle's OLEDB provider)? Is it the same home that's first in your path if you open a dos prompt and type PATH?
Hope it helps

OraOLEDB.Oracle-Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.

I have a traditional ASP page that uses the OraOLEDB.Oracle.1 provider to connect to an Oracle database. The oracle 9 client is installed on the Webserver and the asp page can successfully connect to the oracle database using the Microsoft OLE DB provider for Oracle. The problem with using the Microsoft provider is that the database has a datatype that is not recognized by the Microsoft provider. I cannot understand why the OraOLEDB.Oracle provider is not working. I have verified permissions on the Ora90 directory and it is set to allow EVERYONE read and execute permissions currently. I have .NET apps on the server that use the OracleClient.dll successfully.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I could try to get the OraOLEDB.Oracle provider working?

Just as an FYI for everyone.
The base version of the Oracle Client 9.2.0.1.0 has a known bug with installing DLLs with incorrect permissions for Authtenicated Users. You will see this type of error message when connecting from ASP or ASPX but not client server applications.
This is fixed in 9.2.0.7.0 client patchset, restart and it should work fine. Other scenarios can cause same error like the provider not being installed, the key different is that you can connect via client server but not Web Applications when you are hitting this permissions bug.

All,
I have a solution developed in Visual Studio 2012 targetting .Net 4.0. Simplified: Startup project is a WPF library and supporting this library is another project that uses Entity Framework to retrieve data. I have copied the connection strings from my EF project to my startup project, and everything seems to work fine on the development machine.
However, as sson as this project is run on a user's desktop they get the error:
System.ArgumentException
The specified store provider cannot be found in the configuration, or is not valid.

I've already verified that Oracle.DataAccess is referenced in my EF project, and I'm including oci.dll, orannzsbb11.dll, oraociei11.dll, and OraOps11w.dll in my main library (fat installation).
This configuration worked when using the older ADO.Net DataSets, but now I want to use EF 4.4 (DataBase first/model first/whatever it's not Code First) because it's just easier to code against. So obviously I'm missing something when it comes to deploying my solution. Any ideas?
Note that this is a desktop application using MS OneClick.

Same issue:
The specified store provider cannot be found in the configuration, or is not valid. ---> System.ArgumentException: Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.
You mention "Sounds like the client system doesn't have an Oracle client installed."
I am using Win Server 2008 R2. I have installed what i think is the right client. How do i tell?
What is the right client? Where do i get it?

The specified store provider cannot be found in the configuration?

I got the error "The specified store provider cannot be found in the configuration, or is not valid"
while excuting the following command:
E:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\EdmGen.exe /nologo /language:CSharp
/mode:ViewGeneration /inssdl:$(TargetDir)Entities.ssdl
/incsdl:$(TargetDir)Entities.csdl /inmsl:$(TargetDir)Entities.msl
/outviews:$(ProjectDir)Entities.Views.cs
this is to pre_generate views to improve Entity framework performance, itruns well for SqlServer.
What is the issue? I checked in machine.config, it seems ok:
<DbProviderFactories>

Hey,
Can you check if the line: DbProviderFactory factory = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory("Oracle.DataAccess.Client"); works in a simple console app?
I had the same problem when I had installed both x86 and x64 versions of ODAC. There are two workarounds for x86&x64 issue here[http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/728483/edmgen-4-0-with-oracle11g-dac-win-7-x64] .

The specified store provider cannot be found... as service

I get the error "+The specified store provider cannot be found in the configuration, or is not valid.+" when I run my application as a windows service. If I run it as a "normal" exe file everything run OK.

I found the solution. I need to force compile to x86.
I'm using the new Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.dll

Cannot synch my ipod.when i connect it and hit synch i get a message saying file folder cannot be found or does not recognize ipod. Any ideas?

cannot synch my ipod classic. when i try to i get a message saying "file folder cannot be found" or ipod is not recognized. Anybody have any ideas or fixes for this?

Mine is doing the same thing, I have been seeing it happen to a lot of people lately. Maybe it's the company sent out a bug to crash old Ipod, so we would have to buy new ones.

Provider cannot be found

Hi folks,
I have seen a lot of posts on this problem but they have not worked and are rather old - 2006-2008.
The problem I am facing is when I try to run a third-party software (that is supposed to connect to Oracle DB) on Windows Server 2008 64bit, it gives this error. (it is supported on 64bit)
But no such problem when running it on a WinXP.
I suspect it is either a wrongly installed / configured OraDB client, or insufficient Windows userid privileges.
I would really appreciate if someone could share some up-to-date information that could help.
OraDB is 10g R5
Thanx!
SM

Hi Greg,
The application could not even launch, but I believe it is inherently 32bit. There is no 64bit version and it is stated 64bit Windows is supported.
I actually installed (inadvertently actually) the 32bit client at first, but I hit a problem when testing using sqlplus, not knowing about UAC in WinServer2008 R2, so I did not even install the application.
So, DBA installed 64bit client, and only then did I install the application and hit the provider not found error.
I have actually disabled UAC and tried reinstalling the Client Windows Interface (which contains provider for OLE DB) but hit the same problem.
I will probably install the 32bit client again based on your feedback here.
Rgds,

TS3221 i bourght a new ipad and it wont go through the activating stage, error oX80090318 serial No DRSHFQW1DFHW I get told sorry the number provided cannot be found

Did you update Windows recently or install new software on your computor?bDetach your iPad and do a system Restore on your computer. It normally takes only 5 minutes.
(Start, Programs, Accessories, System, System Restore.
Click on “Restore my PC to an earlier period” and then click on Next.
Choose the most up to date system restore point in the “click a restoration date” listing, then click Next.
Click ‘Next’ on the verification window.
Reboot your computer once the restoration is done.)

The iPod cannot be updated. The required disc cannot be found

I am gettin an annoying message that "the required disc cannot be found" and am not sure how to resolve. The iPod shuffle seems to updat with songs successfully. I also tries restoring for factory settings to perhaps start from scratch. I also tunred off all automatic updates in the settings to no avail.
Any ideas?

Try this; disable your virus protection. If this works for you, you can also thank Apple Tech Support.
I'm unsure if this is an iPod problem or an iTunes
problem, so forgive me if this is in the wrong forum.
I've been getting this error message repeatedly since
I started using my 2nd-gen iPod Shuffle: "The iPod
cannot be updated. The required disc cannot be
found."
This worries me because it's the same error message I
started receiving just before my first-gen Shuffle
started doing the infamous "green light/amber light"
thing. This is not exclusive to my computer (Mac mini
1.5 GHz Intel Core Solo with OS 10.4.8); a family
member uses an iMac (700 MHx PowerPC G3 with OS
10.3.9), and iTunes displays the same message with
her 2nd-gen Shuffle. Both computers have the latest
version of iTunes, and both iPods are up to date on
their software.
Other than this, there appears to be no immediate
effect of the fuctionality of iTunes or the iPods.
