Dear Concerns
I developed a visual basic.net 2012 application, my database is oracle 12c (12.1), ODAC (development tools for connecting oracle with vb.net 2012) , .net framework 4.5,on windows 8.1 Pro, when I tried to create setup file(exe) using InstallShield 2013, to be run on client PC,
I tried opening it on another PC other than my PC for testing purposes, I cannot open it, is it the problem of not having oracle developer installed?? error displayed saying (ORA-12154: TNS could not resolve the connect identifier specified), and list f errors regarding the connection with database
But As you know, the exe file should open and work on all machines without having database program or visual basic program??? right??
when I execute the exe on my laptop on admin user (with SQL developer installed on it, without \visual basic) it run, and worked as usual (saving and retrieving from database)
I searched Google and found that I have to install Oracle Instant client, and ODAC 12 Xcopy, bUT i DON'T KNOW where to install them and how??
Please Can you guide me through the steps for doing exe file for vb.net with oracle database 12.1 ??? I have to submit the application to the custome in the few net days
Thank You very much
