ODP.NET

When are the Oracle.DataAccess.Client registred as a DbProviderFactory in the machine.config?
I'm seeing different behaviours after installing opd.net which is a real pain when deploying binaries.

I have 2 different machines, and here I list where the dll is registered.

machine 1 : ODP 32bit 2.111.7.0
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config (only)

machine 2 : ODP 32bit + 64bit 11.2.0 (2 installations)
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\CONFIG\machine.config
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config

The problem is that if it is not registred in the machine.config it must be registered in the app.config. But it cannot be both.

This is painfull when building releases that should target different machines.

Why does a ODP 32bit change the 64bit machine.config only?
How should this be handled?
Should i manually update the unregistred machine.config?

Thanks
