Getting Oracle client to work on Windows 7 RC

Question

Has anyone had any luck in getting an Oracle client to install and work with Windows 7 RC? I went and upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 but having terrible problems getting my Oracle databases to work...

Answer 1

Phew I eventually worked it out. I downloaded the Oracle Instant Client x86 and copied that and setup up my environment variables (PATH, LD_LIBRARY, TNS_ADMIN). The problem I had before was that I downloaded the x64 version which won't work with Toad which is an x86 app! As soon as I installed the x86 version the problem was solved....
