I have installed the ODP.Net managed drivers using the "ODP.Net Managed Only XCopy" installation on one of our IIS servers. I have a few questions about the installation.
1) After running the configuration it adds the following setting to the machine.config This does not look correct to me, since the actual directory where the tnsnames,ora file is located in is C:\Oracle\ODP.NET\network\admin. Can someone verify if the setting is correct in the machine.config and if so why is it set like that instead of just the actual directory path.
<setting name="tns_admin" value="c:\oracle\odp.net\v121010\managed\x64\..\..\..\network\admin" />
Shouldn't it be
<setting name="tns_admin" value="C:\Oracle\ODP.NET\network\admin" />
2) It does not appear that a windows application we wrote to test the managed drive with uses the above setting or the value it is set to by the configuration.bat is not correct. I could not get the windows application to work until I set the TNS_ADMIN environmental variable to "C:\Oracle\ODP.NET\network\admin". That is not a big issue, since setting that variable is our standard, just curious why the application did not work with just the machine.config tns_admin setting set.
Thanks in advance for any help given getting answers to these questions.
