ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 998

399606Jul 22 2003 — edited Feb 24 2010

All I want to do i use Oracle ODBC driver to link an Oracle database to a SQL Server database.
I installed Oracle9i Client (9.2.0.1.0) from a CD and the latest ODBC driver (9.2.0.4.0) from OTN but it didn't appear in the ODBC Data Source Administrator Tool.
I created a separate registry entry for this driver with information about its path, setup, version, etc.

APILevel="1"
ConnectFunctions="YYY"
CPTimeout="60"
Driver="E:\oracle\ora92\BIN\SQORA32.DLL"
DriverODBCVer="03.52"
FileUsage="0"
Setup="E:\oracle\ora92\BIN\SQORAS32.DLL"
SQLLevel="1"

This way I managed to include it in the list of all drivers in the ODBC Data Source Administrator Tool.

But when I try to create a System DSN I get the following errors:

- the setup routines for the Oracle in OraHome92 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 998
- could not load the setup or translator library

What is the problem?
