FYI: odbc_uinstall.exe DELETES odbc_install.exe
I hope someone at Oracle monitors these posts. While working to try and get a linked server for Oracle up using the instantclient -- and failing miserably, so far -- I tried installing the ODBC just to see if I could get that to work. I found that running odbc_install.exe successfully made the ODBC driver appear. But when I ran odbc_uninstall, not only did it remove the ODBC driver but it DELETED THE ODBC_INSTALL.EXE file.
Come on people! Really?!
