Oracle Client 19g 32Bit windows 10 oledb connection error

User_1ZYIQJul 28 2022
Hi everyone, I have a strange problem on a 32Bit Oracle 11g client on Windows 10 with the OLEDB.
The Windows 10 client had an Oralce 11 installation, which I removed before upgrading.
Everything works perfectly, except the connection test with oledb32:

% windir% \ SysWOW64 \ Rundll32.exe "c: \ Program Files (x86) \ Common Files \ System \ Ole DB \ oledb32.dll", OpenDSLFile C: \ Temp \ TestOLEDB.udl

which always returns the error:

Connection verification failed. Error initializing the provider. Fatal error

If I connect to 64bit oledb everything works perfectly

If I deploy a new client with W10, uninstall version 11 and install version 19, everything works.
The problem occurs on W10 PCs that have been installed and updated over the years, on which I have performed both Oracle and Windows updates.

I have potentially 1500 pcs with the same problem, do you have any ideas?
Thank you
G.
