PowerBI says Oracle.Database.Client is not installed when it is
Hello, I have PowerBI version 2.79.5768.1082 64-bit (March 2020) on my desktop, and I have been using it successfully for some workouts using CSV files. I tried to connect to an Oracle database and received the message "The recommended provider ('Oracle.DataAccess.Client') is not installed..." So I followed the link and downloaded ODAC122011_x64.zip for my 64-bit system. Then I installed it, and indicated a successful completion. However, even after a restart, I still receive the same message. Any idea what to check to see why it says it's not installed yet? Thank you in advance for any response.

Anonymous You need to make sure you follow the instruction in the read file. Also, make sure the path has been added to the environment, else will not work.
I added like these. Make sure you change based on your location
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the installer already added ...\client_1\bin to the path. I added ...\odp.net\bin as well, like you suggested, but that didn't help. I rechecked the zip file, and there is no help file.
ODAC122011_x64.zip is the file I downloaded and installed (for my 64-bit Windows 10 system). That was the right one, correct?Hi Anonymous ,
Please try to download the zip file of 64-bit ODAC 12c Release 4 (12.1.0.2.4) and install it. You can refer the following documentations for more details.
