error loading oci.dll

[ianm]

Using Oracle 8.1.7, win98, DOA 3.3.3.
I had a problem with connecting to a database. I got the error: OCI.DLL
'One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found.'

I fixed this problem by putting the oracle bin directory (eg c:\oracle\ora81\bin) into the PATH variable. It seems that OCI.DLL needs this.

Hope this helps,
Ian

It is not strictly necessary to have the bin directory of the Oracle Home in the PATH environment variable. If, however, you have multiple Oracle Home's, the first occurrence in the PATH will be selected by Direct Oracle Access. This is effectively the Primary Oracle Home.
