Oracle ODBC - missing drivers?

Question

I installed

ODAC 11.2 Release 3 and Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (11.2.0.2.1)

from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/utilsoft-086879.html

but i still do not see Oracle driver in the ODBC Manager... please help.

i checked the ODBC Drivers in the Registry, and only found SQL there... maybe i downloaded the wrong thing? someone please point me in the right direction.

Answer 1

Call "c:\windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" from the start/run box or from the command prompt, so the drivers are more likely to appear. I´ve been through similar problems with Oracle Instant Client (basic and ODBC) 32-bit driver not appearing at the ODBC Admin Window. I was able to configure a Data Source to Oracle 11g Express by calling "c:\windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" this way.

Regards.
