Hi All,
I did a whole development under Windows 7 + VS 2012 using Entity Framework 4.1
My application is a Windows Console application that uses Entity Framework to access an Oracle database that runs in a remote server. My application has a x64 target setting, and my Windows 7 is also 64bit.
All went fine on development machine until I started deployment to a production host.
Production host: Newly installed Windows Server 2012. Installed ODAC 64-bit and run configure.bat at odp.net/managed/x64 folder.
I´m taking all files from my application genereated at /bin/Debug folder form VS2012 and copying to the target machine, together with Oracle.DataAccess.dll.
My connection string has providername = System.Data.EntityClient. This was generated by EF Model-First Wizard.
When running, I´m getting the following exception:
Unable to find the requested .NET Framework Data Provider. IT may not be installed. at System.Data.EntityClient.EntityConnection.GetFactory (String providerString).
I´ve checked the ODCA configure.bat and it installs OracleManageDataAccessDTC.DLL
So, I´m very confused. I have Oracle.DataAcess.dll, OracleManageDataAccessDTC.dll and none of this work. This is my first Oracle deplyment with EF 4.1.
Hope someone can help me.
