I spent half a day but was not able to install. ok i downloaded the 64 bit and from the downloads i extracted the files to my C drive (C:\ODAC122010Xcopy_x64)
Then in the command prompr
i typed in the commands and i get a message
install.bat is not a recognized as an internal or externalommand.
Also in the beginning of the document is see under general information
The files of this zip file are NOT to be installed on top of an existing Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) based Oracle Home installation.
Please advice.
