Q: DLL not found

[Ulrich Kobsa]

Hello,

one of our customers reported, that when he tries to start our programm, he gets an error message 'NL80.dll not found'. We use Delphi 4 standard /SP3 and DOA 3.4.3.

We have tested it against an ORACLE 7.3.4, 8.0.6 and 8.1.6.1 and all worked fine.
Could this be a problem of the installation of our customers database ?

Any help, what is going wrong here, is welcome.

Thank you,
Uli

This problem is related to the Oracle Client configuration. Direct Oracle Access will use the Net8 DLL (OCI.DLL) from the primary oracle home, and when it loads the DLL this exception is raised because it cannot find this secondary NL80.DLL. In short: the oracle home is not installed correctly.
