PL/SQL Developer 7 does NOT support Oracle x64 client?

[kamusis]

I've installed Oracle11gR2 x64 on my laptop with Win7 x64.

I ran PL/SQL Developer 7 located in "D"\Tools\plsqldev" used to be normal in Win7 x86(I formated C: and reinstalled Win7 X64 seviral day ago), but it always complained "Initialization error SQL*Net not properlly installed OracleHomekey: OracleHomeDir:",

after I set manually "Oracle Home" to the folder of ORACLE_HOME and "OCI Library" to the oci.dll file located in ORACLE_HOME/bin/oci.dll, it still complained "Could not load "....\oci.dll"" ?

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. The 32 Bit client can coexist with a 64 Bit Oracle installation when installed in separate Oracle Home directories.

Thanks for your reply.
Is there any plan to release a 64-bit PL/SQL Developer?

This is on the to-do list.
