Installing Oracle 32-bit Client on Oracle 64-bit (Win 2008 R2 x64)

858762Aug 23 2011 — edited Aug 24 2011
Hello
I'm trying to install 32-bit Oracle Client to the 64-bit Oracle Database on Windows 2008 server R2x64. I need it to run my 32 bit application.

What have I done:

1. Installed 64-bit Oracle Database (10.2.0.4). My oracle home is: "C:\oracle\orcl" and my service name in tnsnames is: "orcl"
2. Installed 32-bit Oracle Production Client (10.2.0.3) to the: "C:\oracle\orcl1"
and copy tnsnames from C:\oracle\orcl\network\admin to C:\oracle\orcl1\network\admin
3. In cmd prompt I used: set oracle_home=c:\oracle\orcl1"
4. In Environment Variables Path I put: "c:\oracle\orcl1\bin"

.......but it still doesn't work. I have no idea where I did mistake and what to do.
When I'm trying to run my apllication I have an error: Cannot load an IDAPI service library. SQLORA32.dll

Thx for advice
