Deploy all in VB 2010 with Oracle

[Andrzejek]

Spent too many hours on Google already, time to ask.

VB.NET 2010 app connecting to Oracle thru ADO.NET, referenced Oracle DataAccess 4.112.1.2 (no COM objects), Target CPU x86

It runs OK on my developer machine, of course. Now I am ready to give it to the user for him to run it on his machine. How do I do that?

I did try to add another Setup Project to my project and create a setup.exe, install it on another computer, and it gave me an error “Could not load file or assembly Oracle DataAccess Version 4.112.1.2”

How do you deploy VB.NET 2010 app?


Have fun.

Solved it.
Users have an Oracle 11g Client installed, but on developers’ machines we have another Oracle piece (ODAC?) installed, which makes Client_2 folder in Oracle folder, with tnsnames.ora file etc. And that piece was missing on user’s machine.

Now everything is good with the world...



Have fun.
