I have a visual studio solution with an ASP.NET 3.5 web application (WCF host) and a test project. I wanted to use Oracle Instant Client (v11, via NHibernate) to create Oracle connections without installing a machine (dev, CI server, test server, production server) on the Oracle client tools on all the objects involved.
It is strange that on my development machine (x86) my tests run without problems, while my web application still gives me the following error message: System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater
I have already ruled out:
- The bin folder has read and execute permissions for everyone
- DLL Unlocked (Windows 7)
- The problem occurs with both Visual Studio Development Server and IIS 7
- I also tested this on a machine with Oracle client tools installed, and it works
I even managed to run tests on our x64 CI server ( more ).
Does anyone know what I am missing?
