The client libraries are required.. there is no question of having to determine whether or not they are required.. The question is whether what you have is 32 or 64 bit..
As for how to determine if they are 64 bit, if you are not sure, uninstall the current client, and reinstall the 64 bit client, and reconfigure the tnsnames.ora upon installing the 64 client. The installer for the 64 bit client is different from the 32 bit installer.. It should be available on oracle.com for download.. There is a file command in unix to determine if files are 32 or 64 bit but I’m not sure how you would do that in windows..

I have win64-11g release that I downloaded. I am not sure how to verify if I have the 64 client. In a message dated 3/4/2011 1:05:09 P.M.

And that you are using the right client and not a 32 bit client if that is installed too?? Your path does not look like what I think the default paths for the oracle client installs look like so its hard to say if it may be a 64 bit client..

I have a 64-bit laptop. I installed 11g Oracle on Windows 7. I am trying to install AR 7.6.04 on Oracle 11g. During the AR install, I selected 64 bit. I am getting error messages and cannot proceed with the installation of AR System. The database seems to be running successfully. During the install when I connect to the database using DBMS account, I get a warning message that says: Possible causes - path variables point to incorrect Oracle client - tnsnames.ora does not exist or has incorrect connection details - missing 64 bit oracle client libraries My system path is: C:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin;C:\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\lib; My tnsnames.ora displays: ORCL = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = orcl.Servername) ) ) ORCL = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.x.x)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = orcl.Servername) (SID = orcl) [ (GLOBAL_NAME=DatabaseName) ] ) ) _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug11 www.wwrug.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
