Missing .dll files when trying to run SQL Loader using Instant Client

SomeoneElseSep 14 2022

I've installed Instant Client 21.6.0.0.0 on Windows 10 (64 bit Enterprise, 21H2). This includes:

instantclient-basic-windows.x64-21.6.0.0.0dbru.zip
instantclient-sqlplus-windows.x64-21.6.0.0.0dbru.zip
instantclient-tools-windows.x64-21.6.0.0.0dbru.zip

SQL Plus works correctly but when trying to run SQL Loader I get 4 Windows errors about missing .dll files:

oranl.dll was not found.
oranls.dll was not found.
oracore.dll was not found.
oraxml.dll was not found.

(each one in a separate popup window).
SQL Loader has worked properly in older versions of Instant Client.  And I've double checked that the .zip files were downloaded correctly.
Has anyone seen this or know how to fix it?
(sorry if this is posted to the wrong group, I couldn't find a separate one for Instant Client)
Thanks!
