oracle - Getting Toad 9.7 to work on Windows 7 x64 -


I am trying to get Todd 9.7 to work on the new installation of Windows 7 X 64. I have installed a 64-bit Oracle instant client (manually extracting it into a folder and setting some environment variables). Things looked fine (SQL Developer worked, SQL + plus worked), but Todd was having trouble.

Then I read that Todd needed a 32-bit client, so I did "install" method, but it was still not happy. It was telling me an error that I did not have Oracle Client installed, I tried several different things like setting different environment variables (LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ORACLE_HOME etc.) and nothing worked. I then abolished the manual method and downloaded the full Oracle client but only checked the "instant customer" option when I ran the setup and last worked for Todd Client and I got rid of those NVs. The variables that were set were set, and only TNS_ADMIN were set, in addition to the Oracle home folder in the system path.

There was still a problem. Todd did not know the version of my Oracle client and giving me an error message saying that the Oracle Home was invalid I could ignore those messages and start doing all the work , But I did not like the fact that the house he was using was a color red and I had to ignore those error messages.

A little more excavation and some estimates on my part, I got a Clause-AI method to work, I have copied the OCIL file to the bin folder under the Oracle home, and I did that file The Other copy is also created in the bin folder and it is called anselite 11.dll. The combination of those two things got Todd to stop the complaint.

However, this does not look like a very clean method, so I was thinking that someone else has come to this issue and used a cleaner method to work it out.

After removing files to 32-bit clients, to indicate the 32-bit directory, PATH set on. And make sure that the 32-bit directory is in the first path from the 64-bit directory.

I think what works for me, but I am not 100% positive.
