I migrate from Oracle 8.0.2 to 8.1.5 on NT (both client and server) and I received "Could Not Locate OCI dll" when I tried connect.

The OCI.DLL is in C:\ORANT\BIN.

Help !

Samuel,
ist the c:\orant\bin drectory in your Path ??

Holger

Yes, the C:\ORANT\BIN is on PATH

Sometimes the path variable is screwed up by unexisting directories or wrong syntax and if such thing was found by system somewhere in the path the rest of path variable just ignored. Check your path carefully for such unexisting directories.

The c:\orant\bin directory does not have to be in the PATH environment variable. If you are using version 3.3 then there should be some additional diagnostic information displayed with the error message that could be helpful. If you are using 3.2 or earlier then you should upgrade to 3.3, because this is the first version that is compatible with Net8 8.1.x.

I migrate the old application to new DOA 3.3 and it works.

Thanks

Sent precisely this question to support last night (guess I should have looked here first).

After upgrading to 8.1.5, I found that my old Home (d:\orant) was still floating around the Registry and PL/SQL Developer was managing to find it.

Bringing up regedit, finding each and every instance of the old Oracle Home reference and changing it to the new reference let everything start working.

I have the same problem under Linux and Kylix 3 :-(

Have you defined the ORACLE_HOME environment variable? Make sure that is points to the correct Oracle home directory, and that $ORACLE_HOME/bin is included in the PATH environment variable.
