Hello,

I donot know if my query is eligible for this forum; I could not find a more suitable forum though. Kindly excuse if this is not so.

I'm deploying a .NET application on Windows XP-SP2 clients(Database: Oracle 10g). For Oracle connectivity, I've bundled the exe with instaclient.

It has been installed it on about 15 computers so far and the app. is working fine.

However, on a few other computers, it gave an error as:
"System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client s/w version 8.1.7 or greater."

I used the latest instaclient package avl. on oracle website( version: 11.2.0.2.0) and it worked on 2 computers. For the other computers, the Error persists.

To resolve this error, I tried all instaclient packages avl. on the instaclient website. The same error persists.
(While testing, I'm setting the the environmental variables: TNS_ADMIN and PATH to the instaclient folder.)

Could the problem be with the client computes? or is it something more that must be done after instaclient installation?
How do I resolve this error? Will the latest instaclient version: 11.2.0.2.0 suffice for all client computers and Oracle DBs? Are there any dependencies that must be taken care of?
