Unable to install instant client, get error code 126

user1395450Feb 19 2014 — edited Mar 11 2014

On Windows Server 2008 R2, I have installed and extracted oracle instant client 12.1.0.1.0.  I have added to the existing path the location where sqoras32.dll resides.  Via the ODBC Data Source Administrator, when I attempt to add the driver to the System DSN, I get the following error

The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient_12_1 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126:  The specified module could not be found.

It then lists the correct path and filename for the sqoras32.dll resides.

I bailed on trying to get Version 12 working.  I did get sql plus working, but could never get the ODBC working.  I went with the 11.2 instant client and all works well.

I had the same issue and was finally able to get it working by installing:

Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) from Official Microsoft Download Center

(MS Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86))

This appears to have been a common problem with earlier versions and earlier C++ Run Time Libraries. Looks like they've updated.
