Unable to Load Dll (oci.dll)

[bobhagan]

I work for a group that's been using 8i and is converting a Windows/ASP app to ASP.NET. I tried running 8i on a new
Pentium4/XP machine at home. It died frequently so I downloaded 10g personal. Now the application, which worked when 8i did says, "can't load oci.dll".

How do I get this working?
I have rights to the Oracle dir set ok (I think - aspnet, iuser_... have read/execute ), an Oracle Home dir in paths, and a TNS_Admin var set. I can open Oracle in toad and in the VS Server Explorer.

What's odd is that TOAD thinks there is no Oracle Home set, and the registry entries look really different from 8i. Does that make a difference?

Thanks

Had similar problem with 9i client. Find the copy oci.dll and ociw32.dll from the appropriate .jar file to your oracle
...\bin folder.

On my machine, running oracle 9i the .jar file was
bin.1.2.jar in the installation folder
\stage\components\oracle.rsf.rdbms_rsf\9.2.0.1.0\1DataFiles\bin.1.2.jar

the folder copied to was c:\oracle\ora92\bin
