odp.net 2.102.2.20 deployment problems
578696May 21 2007 — edited May 22 2007Hi,
I have a .net 2.0 application and have recently replaced the MS data provider for Oracle with the latest version of ODP.Net included in the ODAC 10.2.0.2.21 release. Performance improvement on any machine with Oracle Client 10.2 is great, however when I try it out on machines with Clients 10.1 and lower, I get the following error message:
"Unable to load Dll 'OraOps10w.dll': The specified module could not be found (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) Data source = myTest; User ID = test; Password = tester;"
I thought I could include the OraOps10w.dll in the \bin directory of the release build of my application, and that allows the app to run, but it's still not able to load ODP. I can't decide from the docs if ODP 2.1 has dependency on 10.2 client, or if I'm just doing something wrong. Could someone please help?
I'd really like to start using this latest version of ODP in my software, but unfortunately corporate policy isn't going to allow us to upgrade to the 10.2 client anytime soon. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance
