Hi Bill,

As I recall, there is a global environment variable that Oracle looks for to find its various components - I think this is ORAHOME. It could be that if this is set, the Oracle client libraries default to trying to use the Full Client installation rather than the local Instant Client files. Therefore, try setting this variable to empty (put empty into $ORAHOME) before any of the Oracle files are loaded.

Hope this helps,

Mark.

We have an application which queries an Oracle data base.

On Windows we have the Oracle Instant Client files local to the .exe file and it works fine. However, if a user also has the full Oracle client installed, the connection string fails. It looks to me like the local files are not being used.

Could this be a path problem? Is there a way to point to the local files instead or some other solution for this?
