    Alrighty...Finally got it to work.

     

    Installed 64bit runtime client 12.2. Then installed ODAC122010_x64. INTO THE SAME ORACLE HOME. 

     

    By default ODAC tries to install itself into a new Oracle Home. Which doesn't work.

It looks like Oracle have removed the links for the Oracle 12.2 Client from thrir Software downloads page. You have to request it now.

 

I'll try installing with the latest version and report back here.

So, I am really new to this stuff and there seems to be several files to download, can you refer me to the link in Oracel or file name of what I should download? Thanks for responding, your post is a few years old now lol

    There are a couple of things to note when installing, see me replies above for details.
