Can't add reference to Oracle.DataAccess in VS2008 project on Windows XP

643360Jun 5 2008 — edited Jun 18 2008
I'm experiencing a very frustrating problem that I'm hoping someone can help me with. Originally ODP.NET was installed on my system with the Oracle Express Client. In VS2008 I could add a reference to Oracle.DataAccess using the .NET tab of the Add Reference dialog. Things worked great.

Unfortunately, everyone else on our development team installed ODP.NET using the latest ODTwithOCAC1020221.exe file. Since we are all working on a shared project they would have to update the reference on their machine, and every time I checked out the latest version of the project from our TFS server, I'd have to update the reference. Total pain . . .

So I uninstalled the Oracle Express Client on my system and installed ODP.NET using the same executable everyone else used. The problem I have now is that Oracle.DataAccess no longer shows up as a choice under the .NET tab of the Add Reference dialog.

I have verified that Oracle.DataAccess is in the GAC. I have also manually run gacutil to make sure it was installed without any problems. But no joy, it just doesn't show up in the dialog box to allow me to add it.

Any suggestions?
