OCI.DLL: cannot find required library

[Erik]

Hi,

My application works fine in Windows 2000, but I can't get on the run in Windows 98.
After starting the application I get a messagebox displaying:
"kan een van de vereiste bibliotheekbestanden van deze toepassing niet vinden".

English translation: "cannot find one of the required library files of this application".

Some more info:
- the title of the messagebox is OCI.DLL
- the application has been written in Delphi 6
- DOA for Oracle 6
- Oracle Client version 8.1.7 is being used

I checked the path in windows 98 and added the directory c:\oracle\ora81\bin to the path. This didn't help me.

Any more idea's?

Thanks in advance!

The problem is that the Oracle Client Interface library (OCI.DLL) cannot find one of its required libraries. This usually indicates a PATH problem, but it seems that you already checked this. However, note that c:\oracle\ora81\bin should be the first entry in the PATH to prevent problems with other Oracle Homes on the same PC.

If this does not help, can you verify if c:\oracle\ora81\bin\sqlplus.exe runs correctly? If it does, can you check if you have multiple Oracle Homes? Can you also let me know your Direct Oracle Access version?
