Oracle Client Installation on Windows Server 2012 R2

Arun PrasathNov 27 2017 — edited Nov 28 2017

Hello All,

I'm trying to install Oracle client 11gR2 64 bit in Windows server 2012 R2 64 bit version.

I'm getting the error "[INS-13001] Environment does not meet minimum requirements."

Even I ignored it and proceed further, client installed successfully. And I'm able to configure TNS names and able to connect to database.

But in my dot net application I've used System.Data.OracleClient library. When I try to open a connection it throws the following error.

"Attempt to load Oracle client libraries threw BadImageFormatException.  This problem will occur when running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed."

Even I've tried to install client version 12.1.0.2 and it got installed without any error message. Yet I'm facing the same error

"Attempt to load Oracle client libraries threw BadImageFormatException.  This problem will occur when running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed."

Please clarify me what I'm missing or what version of client is suitable for Windows server 2012 R2 64 bit version.
