Instant client

477830Dec 22 2005 — edited Dec 22 2005
On Windows XP, do I need adminstration rights to install the 'instant client' from oracle?

I've tried to install it with a normal user. It says it's installed correctly, but when I go to the 'ODBC Datasource Administrator' and want to add it to my user ODBC-Connections, it's not in the list.

What am I doing wrong?

This is what I've done so far:
Downloaded Instant Client + ODBC addon. Unzipped both contents to a new folder, then executed odbc_install.exe. Then I've added the directory to my users PATH.
Now it should get listed in odbc-sources, but it's not.
