oraOLEDB.Oracle: Provider not found: Oracle 11.2.0.3 Client installation

793999 Mar 26, 2012 7:26 PM

We installed the 11.2.0.3.0 client runtime on Windows 7 32 bit (which installs "Oracle Provider for OLE DB 11.2.0.3.0" by default) and were still receiving "Provider cannot be found" errors. Simply re-installing the exact same product "Oracle Provider for OLE DB 11.2.0.3.0" from the 11.2.0.3.0 ODAC installation corrected it. Maybe an issue with the Oracle client installation? Just thought I'd post and possibly save someone a day of frustration.

It's a known bug.

You can also just run regsvr32 on oraoledb11.dll to register the provider 'manually' as well.

Hi,

"it is a known bug."

I could not find the bug ID / do you know it / how to find it?

I am looking for an official Oracle statement saying that their installer is not registering the Oledb provider properly.

Thanks,

Vincent

Thanks, just ran into this issue too. The workaround of the bug is incomplete in My Oracle Support. In order to register the driver correct you need to run the regsvr32 comand from an elevated command prompt otherwhise you will get this: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itprovistasecurity/thread/71037d62-d842-44a3-86df-6ed74df6fc39
