Mar 22, 2013. Installation of Oracle 11gR2 64-bit client on Windows 7 is even trickier compared to Oracle 32-bit client installation. In fact after some series of installations, I do recommend installing Oracle client 32-bit on Windows 7 64-bit version, unless you have solid technical restrictions of that. This will avoid various. Oct 26, 2010 Hi, I have installed Oracle DB 64 bit on my Windows 7 HOme premium laptop. I am able to connect to oracle via sql plus and sql developer However, I am not.

I would say that while installing 9i in windows 7, windows 7 itself warns you that this software has known compatibility issues. I visited the compatibility center and saw all clean, yet windows 7 warns me the same way. I tried doing that for the same purpose you mentioned in your question, but all efforts were futile, since some of the packages do not install properly, and O9i fails to function as desired. Options: use xp mode, or else use a VM within windows 7, and run windows xp in this vm and install o9i there. Would seem like too much, but this is the best way to go. In case it is just queries you wish to run, and not use any oracle specific features, then MySQL is a good option, especially the one with the GUI. I found the following options in a few threads: (a) right-click run as administrator the 'install.exe' instead of 'setup.exe' * on errors do the same thing again (b1) right-click properties the 'setup.exe' set compatibility to Windows XP SP2 set run as administrator (b2) try installing using the 'setup.exe' (c) try the above steps with the 'install.exe' Once installed: 1.

Go into the installation folder 2. Right-click properties the EXE file and select set compatibility to: Windows XP SP2 set run as administrator 3. Repeat step '2' for every executable in the Oracle directory and sub-directory.

Okay, here's the deal: I have a C#/.NET app accessing an Oracle 8 database, that works well on our 32-bit machines. It works using a v.8 ODBC client, a 9i client, or a 10g XE client. However, nothing seems to work on a 64-bit windows machine.

I have not yet tried the full 10g client. I installed MDAC 2.8, but in the Admin Tools ->ODBC Data Source manager tool, none of those ODBC drivers show up, presumably because they are not 64 bit. Ony MS SQL shows up. The weird thing is that there is an old program, Impromptu by Cognos, that works fine - it seems quite able to find and use the 32-bit v8 client that is installed on the system, but my app can't. I found that I could see and create/edit ODBC data sources by making a copy of the ODBC Data Source tool shortcut, changing it to point to a different path (replace system32 with SYSWOW64), but data sources I create there are somehow hidden from my app.

Is there a way to point my.NET app to a specific Data Source, maybe by creating a File DSN and specifying a full local path, for example? This is driving me nuts.
