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 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.

How to make the Data Source Administrator see the 9208 ODBC instant CLient.

I have installed the 9208 Oracle ODBC instant CLient as per the instructions in the accompanying README.txt.
Part III: Exploding the Kit onto your system
Expand the self-extracting archive file onto your hard drive.
C:\> ORA9208.EXE
Part IV: Installation Instructions
This section assumes the following:
1. Oracle 9.2.0.0.0 client has already been installed on your system,
and necessary 9.2.0.8.0 patch has been applied.
2. Part III has been completed.
Software fixes:
Refer to release notes (ODBCRelnotesUS.htm) for a complete list of
Software fixes.
Installation Instructions
Once the self-extracting archive file ORA9208.EXE has been
exploded it will create an directory structure as shown below on
your hard drive.
The directory structure after unzipping and where the files to be
copied are shown below:
1. a. ORA9208\bin\sqora32.dll ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\bin\
b. ORA9208\bin\sqoras32.dll ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\bin\
c. ORA9208\bin\sqresus.dll ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\bin\
2. a. ORA9208\ODBC\html\ODBCRelnotesUS.htm ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\ODBC\html\
b. ORA9208\readme.txt ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\ODBC\html\
3. ORA9208\ODBC\mesg\oraodbus.msb ---> <ORACLE_HOME>\ODBC\mesg\
All of the above has succeeded ok; however whilst trying to create new DSN the intsant client is not listing as an available driver. What's missing please?

The package you downloade is not ODBC Instant Client package
Instant Client Concept came into existence from 10.1 onwards only
What you downloaded are the patched 9208 ODBC Drivers

32-bit Oracle ODBC Driver does not work under Windows 64-bit

We have both Oracle Server 64-bit (10.2.0.3) and Oracle Client 32-bit (10.2.0.1) installed on the same Windows 2003 64-bit server.
We can create and test 64-bit Oracle ODBC System DSN using 64-bit ODBC Administrator.
We can also create a 32-bit Oracle ODBC System DSN using 32-bit ODBC Administrator.
However, the "test connection" does not work:
Unable to connect
SQLState=IM003
Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 998 (Oracle in OraClient10g_home32)
We need the 32-bit driver due to 32-bit applications acessing the local 64-bit Oracle server.
How should we accomplish this?
Thanks.

I applied 10.2.0.3 path to Oracle Client 32-bit and now the error is different.
This error message appears 3 times before configuring, creating or testing a System DNS:
"An unsupported operation was attempted."
I just click OK 3 times and then can configure, create or test the DSN.
However the 32-bit application still cannot access Oracle...

Hi Sir/Madam,
I am Wayne, I need your help to resolve my issue in oracle database 11g.

2. Test connection(oracle in oradb11g_home1) is successed in data source, odbc,
2. Then, I tried to connect this with Visual Basic(Visual Studio 2010), data connections, add connections, .net framework data provider for oracle,
3. but I received an error message as "Attempt to load Oracle client libraries threw BadImageFormatException."
4. Then, I download the ODAC(11.2.0.3.0) for 64bits, and installed,
5. I tried to test the connection, but failed with error message as stated above,
"Unable to connect SQLState=08004 Oracle ODBC Ora-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified"
Could you please give me a help on this, do I need to install ODAC for 11g Personal Edition ? Please advice accordingly, thanks.

Odbc instant client configurtion on Intel core i7,Windows 7,64 bit system

Hi all,
I tried to install the odbc instant client on the above mentioned configuration following the instructions given in the instant client package after downloading from the link given below(Basic and odbc packages).
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html
But i cannot get this to work,i cannot find the microsoft odbc for oracle driver in the data sources in the system dsn tab.Did anyone come across such a scenario and make this work.It would be great if you can help find a way out of this.
Thanks!

You getting everything mixed up. First it's not the "odbc instant client", but the Oracle Instant Client. The Oracle Instant Client is not an ODBC driver but Oracle native drivers (OCI). Secondly the "microsoft odbc for oracle" driver is, as it's names implies, a Microsoft driver, not an Oracle driver so it's never going to be installed by the Oracle Instant Client. Finally you shouldn't need to use ODBC for Oracle. Use OCI to connect to Oracle databases.

Installing 32 bit oracle on 64 bit windows 7

My oracle application works only with 32 bit oracle.Now I need to install the application on a 64 bit windows 7.I tried installing oracle 11g 32 bit database on this machine(64 bit windows 7).During the final stages,it gave an error that the listener service has not started.When I checked the Services status in Computer Management->Services,I found that the listener has already started.I closed the error message and continued with installation.The installation completed successfully.But when I login to sql plus with my oracle database(SYSTEM/SYSTEM@MYHOSTNAME),it is giving tns error ORA 12541-TNS NO LISTENER.I tried every possible ways like restarting the service, and deleting the listener and creating it again,but still it doesnt work.
If anyone has faced the same problem,please give me solution.
I cannot try installing 64 bit oracle because my application is not compatible with 64 bit oracle.

Edited by: 1001322 on Apr 20, 2013 7:23 AMIn addition to the other comments, you need to make the distinction between the oracle database and the oracle client.
the application interacts directly with the oracle client software. The application should not know or care about the word length of the database.

Is it possible to install 32 bit oracle db on a 64 bit linux server?

Is it possible to install 32 bit oracle 10g db on a 64 bit linux server rhel 4.
thanks in advance,
chau

Yes, it is possible, but you can perfectly install the 64 bits version on RHEL4. However you will have more trouble on unsupported OS... so it's useful that you can install the 32 bits version.

Install 16 bit Oracle client on Win 2003 server

Hello,
Is it possible to install Oracle SQL* Net 2.3(16 bit) Client on Windows 2003 server. If it is then could someone give me links from where I could get more information on this (like the steps to install 16 bit Oracle client on Win 2003).
Thanks.

the 16-bit applications are not supported by Windows 2003 server x64 edition.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=896458&SD=tech
I have never tried to use 16-bit SQLNet client on Windows 2003 x86. I'm pretty sure that this combination will not be supported by Oracle , athough it could work.
As far as I remember the 2.3 client was shipped with the Oracle 7.3.
here is the desupport notice for Oracle 7

Linux ODBC Instant Client and Web access?

Hi,
I have downloaded instant client 10.2 and the corresponding ODBC RPM, installed them on a CentOS 4.7 (32 bits) Linux machine. I have also installed UnixODBC on this machine. After a lot of experiments and searches on Internet, I have finally obtained a working state. I.e. using DataManager to test the connection, I access to the Oracle Server that is on another computer.
Now, I am in the second step of my tests. I have to access to the database through Internet. The scheme is the following:
1- a web client is connected, to my web server (server is HTTPD),
2- the web server has to access to the Oracle server by using the ODBC Instant Client.
But this does not work yet. When I try this configuration, I see the error "*can't find the lib libsqora.so.10.1. libcintch.so.10.1 cannot open shared object library*". To solve this problem, I have to tried to define (and export) LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the /etc/sysconfg/httpd file. But this does not work.
Does anyone has a solution?
Thanks in advance.

here, the trace from the log file:
[ODBC][8089][SQLConnect.c][3549]
          Entry:
               Connection = 0x81db4a0
               Server Name = [GTModus][length = 7 (SQL_NTS)]
               User Name = [GTModus][length = 7 (SQL_NTS)]
               Authentication = [*******][length = 7 (SQL_NTS)]

Concerning exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH I did as explained in one of the few posts found on internet. I have also tested by modifying the httpd.conf file by adding SetEnv directives. But whatever the changes I did, it seems that, through internet, the environment is lost.

ORACLE 10 INSTANT CLIENT:The procedure entry point OCILobRead2 could not...

The problem still remain:
I've installed oracle 10g instant client
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production on Wed Jan 10 12:43:40 20
PHP VERSION: php-5.2.0 for Win32
APACHE VERSION: apache_2.0.59 for WIN32
But I've the same old error when I try to restart Apache:
The procedure entry point OCILobRead2 could not be located in the dinamic link library OCI.dll
Is there anyone who can help me to solve this kind of problem?
Thanks in advance.

The solution is that you need to have Oracle 10g client side libraries
installed (or you have to recompile PHP yourself). The oci8 extension
has some version dependent code and the person who builds Windows PHP
builds it with the latest version of Oracle. I was discussing the
impact of this just this week.
Luckily Oracle Instant Client can be downloaded and used for free from
