How to work with Oracle, .NET, Winform, Windows Vista and XP

I have an application that is WinForm in C # that works with Oracle as a database.

I am developing Visual Studio 2008 in Vista, with Vista Oracle Client (10.2.0) and ODP.Net (2.102.2.20).

The problem is that some users of this application work with Windows XP, so the client is not the same, and the application says that it "needs" the correct version of the client to work.

I tried to find information about this, but it seems that someone is developing for desktop computers using Oracle as a database ...

Thanks in advance for any idea!

If this is not a special requirement for using Oracle Client 10.2.0, I would recommend that you use Oracle Client 11. Client 11 is compatible with 10g, and 11g servers (and, possibly, 9i - do not remember before).

There is also a huge advantage that you do not need to use the Oracle Universal Installer, but instead you can simply run the batch file provided by Oracle to complete the necessary installation and uninstallation.

However, the instant client may not work for you as a developer, because it does not include tools such as SqlPlus or sqlldr.

You can download the Oracle 11 client using Xcopy Deploy here .
