Initialization Error on Windows Vista 64-bit

[old_buddy]

Folks,

I am trying to run PL/SQL Developer on a Windows Vista 64-bit machine. Its giving me the typical message:

"Initialization Error
SQL*Net not properly installed
OracleHomeKey:
OracleHomeDir:"

I have 10.2.0 client installed on my machine. Any help appreciated.

You will need to install a 32 Bit Oracle Client. PL/SQL Developer is a 32 Bit application, so it cannot interface with a 64 Bit Oracle Client.

The 32 Bit Oracle Client can communicate with a 64 Bit Server, even on the same machine if necessary.
