DOA 3.3.1 and missing OCI.dll issue

[mridley]

have a client encountering issues with the DOA.
The application uses Oracle 7.3 and above, and the executable was made using Delphi 5, DOA version 3.3.1, and Net8.

The following error was encountered:
'Initialization error
Could not find OCI.dll
OracleHomeKey: SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME1
OracleHomeDir: d:\ORACLE'

This client has a large number of Oracle Homes.

After reading the forums, this might mean their current primary Oracle Home is in-correctly set up, as DOA cannot find OCI.dll.
Or, is this some type of bug in DOA 3.3.1, maybe to do with multiple Oracle Homes, and I have to upgrade, do re-build of application etc (hope not).

Can anyone shed any light?

There have been some improvements in Primary Oracle Home detection since 3.3.1. You can either isolate the specific problem for this client and provide a solution, or you can upgrade to 3.4, recompile your application, and verify if this fixes the problem.
