Is it possible to ignore the ORACLE_HOME defined on a specific host when using OCI Windows program ?

 For example, when I try to connect to an Oracle database, I would like my program to behave the same.
The program is shipped with Oracle instant client (3 DLL).

It works fine without having anything defined in the registry but as soon as there is an ORACLE_HOME, the connection does not work anymore because it looks as if "it" is looking for a match in TNSNAMES.ORA or something.

Howdy, Stranger!
