Dynamic ORACLE_HOME in env variable PATH not working

user5716448Nov 17 2012 — edited Nov 19 2012
Hi,

We have an issue whereby we want the PATH to be dyanmic with respect to the ORACLE_HOME.

Have implemented the solution in 'ORA-12557: TNS:Protocol Adapter Not Loadable' While Running OUI [ID 735400.1 but not working.

We have Windows 2008 R2 server with Oracle 11.2.0.3 client installed.

First when did set to check environment varibales, fouND no env. variable for ORACLE_HOME even though in registry so have set ORACLE_HOME as user env variable.

Have changed system env variable PATH to have %ORACLE_HOME%\bin; at very start

when do PATH to check value shows

literally as %ORACLE_HOME%\bin at start rather than translating to the real physical location as it does with other logical variables.

How can we ensure translates the ORACLE_HOME correctly so PATH is O.K.
