12.2.0.1 Client Installation Win64 missing oraclsce12.dll file

Patrick_WeidenJun 11 2018 — edited Jul 19 2018

Hi together,

we encounter a strange behavior when installing the 12.2.0.1 client installation file for Windows 64-bit (downloaded from Oracle website):

When starting e.g. tnsnping.exe from command prompt, we see a pop-up with the error message:

Window title: tnsping.exe - System Error

Window message: The program can't start because oraclsce12.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Interestingly, the client installation was smooth and no error occurred. We even tried the same with a second client installation next to the first one, but there the same problem occurs.

Note: We have a Windows Server 2016 64-bit OS.

Has anybody already encountered this problem with the missing dll file or similar client installation problems with the new 12.2.0.1 client?

Would it be a good idea to install the 12.1.0.2 client instead of 12.2.0.1?

In case you need further information, please ask for it. Thank you!

Best regards,

Patrick
