Windows 7 - ODBC for Office 2010 64 bit - MS ODBC Driver for Oracle

I am trying to link a table from an oracle rac 10.2.0.4 64 bit install.
I have windows 7 with the oracle 64 bit client.
in odbc i can create a datasource using the oracle driver
and when i try to link a table i get an error :
Reserved error (-7732); there is no message for this error.
I would like to use the Microsoft ODBC for Oracle Driver but it doesnt exist on my computer.
the old one on windows xp used file MSORCL32.DLL is there a MSORCL64.DLL now?
Anyone have any help?

Jam The Man's solution worked for me.
>
Here's the solution.
My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit, using Office 2010 64-bit. Trying to connect to an ODBC data source through Excel. The data source is an Oracle9i 32-bit database on a Windows Server 2003 32-bit server. However, the database version or server operating system is arbitrary; it could be an 8i, 9i, 10g, or even an 11g 32-bit or 64-bit database on a UNIX or Windows server. If you're using Windows 7 64-bit and you want to connect to an ODBC data source through Excel to an Oracle database, you must use Office 2010 64-bit. You cannot use Office 2003 or 2007, for example.
Follow these steps on your Windows 7 64-bit PC to connect to your ODBC data source.
1. Through Oracle's web site, go to Instant Client Downloads for Microsoft Windows (x64). Currently, the address to that page is:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/htdocs/winx64soft.html
2. Download the two following files, found under the version 11.1.0.7.0 heading:
Instant Client Package - Basic (instantclient-basic-win-x86-64-11.1.0.7.0.zip)
Instant Client Package - ODBC (instantclient-odbc-win-x86-64-11.1.0.7.0.zip)
3. Extract both zip files to the same directory (such as c:\oracle\instantclient_11_1).
4. Launch the Command Prompt (DOS command window) by running it as administrator. Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories, then right click Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.
5. From within the Command Prompt, navigate to c:\oracle\instantclient_11_1, and run odbc_install.exe. You should receive a message saying Oracle ODBC Driver is installed successfully. The name of the new ODBC driver that was just installed is Oracle in instantclient11_1 -- use this driver when creating your ODBC connection.
6. Create a new system environment variable. Set the value of the variable name as TNS_ADMIN, and the value of the variable path as the directory that contains the tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files. On my PC, I have another Oracle client already installed which has its own tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files. Therefore, I set the value of variable path as c:\orant\net80\admin (the directory that contains my tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files). If you don't have another Oracle client installed on your PC, create a new directory such as c:\oracle\instantclient_11_1\network\admin, and place the tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files in that directory. Then, set c:\oracle\instantclient_11_1\network\admin as the value for the variable path.
7. To create the ODBC connection, go Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC). Alternatively, you can create the connection right from within Excel.
Thanks man it worked for me.
My host environment is windows 7 x64 ultimate and I have my oracle 10g in centos installed in VMware.
Previously I had vista home premium x64 there instantclient 10.2 basic and odbc worked but in windows 7 it wasn't working.
Thanks again.

  • Acrobat Pro 7, Windows 7 and Office 2010. C: blocked by GPO. Designer application can not save. Ther

    Hello,
    Please I need some help if possible. I just recently upgraded a user to Windows 7 with Office 2010 and reinstalled her Acrobat 7. We locked down c: thru GPO, and it seems this is causing an issue when she uses Designer. She and click save or save as all she wants but nothing happens. If I log in under admin (i can see c:) everything works fine, if possible could someone lead me to the solution. We can not open c: for her, if there is a registry edit where i can change the default location that would be great.Thanks in advance.

    If the Win7 is a 64-bit system, you will need to upgrade the Acrobat to XI. AA 7 will work with Win7, 32-bit, after some playing around but will not be automatic. I am specifically referring to printing to the Adobe PDF printer. PDF Maker will definitely not work with OFFICE 2010, that requires AA X with updates as a minimum.
    For AA7, the AcroTray function will probably fail (it did for me on a 64-bit system). In fact, you will likely not even get a printer. I was able to install an HP PS printer (color should probably be selected) and change the name to the Adobe PDF printer. Then change the port to file. When you print to the printer, it will create a PS (actually listed as PRN) file that can then be opened in Distiller to complete the process of the PDF creation. For most users, this is not an obvious solution -- I even did it with AA5 on a 32-bit Win7. Because of the issues, it is strongly recommended to upgrade (at this point it is a new purchase since AA9 is needed for the upgrade at present) to AA XI. Sorry for the bad news, but AA7 is 8 years old and is ancient in software terms (OK, I still have it on some XP machines).

    Hi Kelly,
    As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • Microsoft Mail not working with Windows 7 & MS-Office 2010

    Dear All
    I have a client who is using Microsoft Mail for their internal mailing. They have been using MSoffice ( Outlook) for this purpose for last so many years.
    We have found that Microsoft Mail does not work with Windows 7 and MS Office 2010 combination.
    When you try to configure it given error 0x8004110.
    When we tried with different versions, we found that if you install Office 2007 it works. If you try Office 2007 and then Office 2010 and remove Office 2007, it still work. But Then it is treated as 2 installations of Msoffice on the same computer.
    I need to know whether this is right from Licensing perspective.  We 'll be using single copy of office but it may seems as we have installed Office 2007 & office 2010 on same computer.

    Windows 7 is a supported operation system for Office 2010. At what exactly point will you get the specific error?
    Is that a Click-To-Run version of Office 2010? By default, for MSI-based version of Office, when you upgrade existing Office 2007 to Office 2010, the earlier version of Office will be removed:

    Hi all,
    We are getting majorly upgraded to Windows 7 and Office 2010 soon. We use EPM 11.1.2 suite of products. Will all the end-user web applications still work?
    I already found out that Smartview 11.1.2 is not supported for Office 2010.
    Does anybody have experience working with 11.1.2 and Windows 7?
    Thanks,
    Sujani

    According to Oracle Support, KB ID 1191235.1, there is Office 2010 suport for 9.3.3 and 11.1.1.3.02. That release is patch 9889521 and is for SmartView only.
    Havnig said that, people seem to be using it:

    Of course you take your own chances with this -- it is an unsupported combination right now.
    Regards,

    P.S. John Booth posted today a different patch release (I know, you're on 11.1.2, but for the 11.1.1.3 readers): http://www.network54.com/Forum/58296/thread/1294100830/Does+11.1.1.3+support+Windows+7+and+Office+2010-
    I'd be more inclined to go with John's patch number than mine -- I am just browsing through Oracle support -- he does infrastructure for real.

  • Unexpected restarts when deploying Windows 7 and Office 2010 updates

    Hi
    I am deploying Windows 7 and Office 2010 updates via SCCM 2012 sp1 and have a couple of questions
    Question 1)
    The updates are made available to clients at 9am on a Tuesday morning.  The users get notification that updates are available to install.  If the user doesn't install the updates, the client will wait 24hrs and then install the updates automatically. 
    We have set the restart behaviour to 24hrs, so again, the user will get a pop up saying that their machine will restart in 24hours.  In my testing I have seen no more pop ups appear until 15 minutes before a restart is due and then a window appears
    with a count down of 15 minutes but I think this might be standard behaviour.  I am not sure why there are options in the client settings to remind users frequently about the impending installation of update but not of impending restarts.  The
    reason we delay the restart by 24hrs is to give the users the chance to restart their machines over night.  Is there a way of providing more notifications of computer restarts ?  The User Experience in the deployment of the updates is set to
    Display in software center and show all notifications.  We have Group Policy set to Not Configured for Windows Updates apart from the user policy
    Remove Access To All Windows Update Features which is set to 0 - Do not show any notifications.
    Question 2)
    Another issue we have is that we have client machines restarting without any warning at all.  I have tested setting the user experience to suppress restarts but have the issue regardless.  It appears that this happens if the client
    is off when the deployment schedule reaches its deadline and the restart time is missed.  I had one user who did restart her machine because she was prompted to restart.  When the machine came back up it looked like it installed another update and
    then just resarted without any warning.  This hasn't happened often but a one user was on a Lync call when the restart occured and she was not happy.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Daniel
    I have done an RSOP on a VM I am testing and only have the user policy :
    Remove Access To All Windows Update Features which is set to
    0 - Do not show any notifications.
    And the machine policy :
    Specify intranet Microsoft update service location which is set to
    Enabled The GPO Name is Local Group Policy
    The policies look OK.
    As a test I have deployed some updates and set the user experience to
    Display all notifications and set the Suppress restarts
    for both Servers and Workstations.  When I deploy the updates, I get notifications that the updates are installing (when the deadline is met) and then I get a prompt telling me that a restart is required.  I also get a windo letting me restart now
    or I can ask to be reminded in x number of hours.  This seems like expected behaviour.  It does not force a restart.  However if I leave the VM on over night I come in the following day and can see it has restarted.  looking at the WindowsUpdate.log I
    can see that at 3:15am the line AUInvoking reboot system.  It looks like Windows Updates and not SCCM is forcing the restart. 
    Thanks

  • How to export Registry values for Office 2010 in HKLM.

    Hello,
    I am trying to export all the Registry keys for Office 2010 in HKLM. All the Office 2010 based registry values in HKLM will be exported and need to be resotred after installing Office 365. So I need to export all the HKLM based Office keys before installing
    Office 365 so later it can be restored.
    Thanks
    Ekta Verma

    Then change the group policy, that's the solution to your problem.  You've made the investment in Office 365 - forcing Office 2010 to launch is wasting that investment.
    But what you are proposing won't work anyway, you would need to capture all of the keys and values in 
    HKCR\.doc, HKCR\.docx, etc, etc, etc for all of the file types.
    Collecting all the registry values, crafting a script to put them all back, and managing that effort is a waste of time when the group policy could be changed in a matter of minutes.  If someone argues against changing the group policy then tell them
    to tell the guy who approved the purchase of Office 365 that he wasted the company's money.
    If, on the other hand, you don't want users to launch Office 2010 yet, that's another story and I could go on and on debating both sides of the argument.  Instead of spending the time mucking around the registry, try to repair Office 2010 instead:
    msiexec /f <product code> /q
    you can get the product code from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion and just search for microsoft office from there.  The key name it's in will be the same as the product code, which would also appear in the Uninstall registry value.
    I hope this post has helped!

  • Windows Update of Office 2010 SP2 fails with message Code B56

    I have been trying to update a Windows 7 Ultimate + Office 2010 professional with SP2 as supplied both by Windows Update and dowanloaded SP2 from KB2687455.
    All attempts fail with a Windows Update error code B56.
    I have tried the 'get help with this error' but there is no entry that matches the problem.
    I have tracked the event viewer error which is 0x80070643 - this appears to relate to error occurring with .NET, so I am no furrther on.
    Help Please from anyone.

    Thank you for your input. The email prompted me to come back and share what I have been able to do to solve the problem. No answers as to why it worked but what I did was using a dvd with a copy of Office 2010 Professional Plus I started the setup and when
    it asked what  I wanted to do I answered Repair.
    When this was finished I retried the update to SP2 and it worked.
    It would be nice to know why it was failing but the pressure is off now.

  • BPC NW SP5 with Windows 7 and Office 2010 -  issues with EvDRE reports

    Hi All,
         We are facing a BPC front end issue with the following symptoms:
    1. Any report with multiple EvDREs crashes out either instantly or within a few minutes of operation.
    2. Two EvDRE reports (or one report and one input tempate) crashes same as above.
    The crash is either an EvDRE error message or an endless wait for the server to respond (where we have to eventually terminate the application).
    We were suggested to move  to sp7 but the issues persisted.
    We do have a message and SAP is helping us investigate. What I want to understand from everyone is are there customres  successfully using this combination  (BPC NW SP5 Windows 7 and Office 2010) along with the above features?
    Customer is really loosing confidence in the solution and is eager to find out if we are the only one using this.
    Regards

    Hi Zach,
      While I do understand we need to isolate the problem but testing on different combinations, customer at the moment is not inclined for this and is looking for other customer references that this environment is stable.

    Hi Raghavendar,
    Generally, when you install Lync 2013 in the computer with Office 2010, a Lync Meeting Add-in will be installed and enabled in Outlook 2010. Please follow these steps to check it:
    1. In Outlook, click the File tab, click Options, and then click
    Add-Ins.
    2. Please take one of the following actions:
    If the add-in is in the Inactive Application Add-ins list, follow these steps:
    a. In the Manage drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, click
    COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
    b. Click to select the check box next to the add-in, and then click OK.
    The New Online Meeting button should now be available in
    Calendar View, and the Online Meeting button should be available when you create a new calendar item.
    If the add-in is in the Disabled Application add-ins list, follow these steps:
    a. In the Manage drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, click
    Disabled Items, and then click Go.
    b. Select the add-in, and then click Enable.
    c. Restart Outlook, and then verify that the add-in is displayed in the
    Add-ins dialog box.
    The New Online Meeting button should now be available in
    Calendar View, and the Online Meeting button should now be available when you create a new calendar item.
    3. In Event Viewer, view the Application log to see whether an error was logged for Outlook, for Lync 2013, the Lync Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013.
