Instant Client Installation problems

545151Nov 10 2006 — edited Nov 10 2006

I am trying to install the 10g Instant Client to connect to our Oracle database via ODBC in Windows. I have downloaded the Instant Client Basic and the ODBC packages and put them into one folder on my hdd, ran the odbc_install.bat and added the folder to my PATH Environment variable. But when I try to create a new ODBC data source, the TNS Service Names don't make any sense and look like characters not readily found on my keyboard!

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a walk through instruction manual available somewhere?

Please help!!

Many thanks
