RE: Oracle 11gR2 64 bit

For TOAD, you have to have the 32 bit client installed.  That should take care of your problems.  :)

Subject: [toad] Oracle 11gR2 64 bit


It's been a while since I've had TOAD/Oracle issues - other issues I have regularly.

I'm attempting to do an 11GR2 install on a Windows 7 Ultimate machine running an i7 chipset.

So far:
Installed 64 bit Server ( I thought).
Installed 64 bit Client to the same directory.
Installed 64 bit client to another directory
Installed, and many times uninstalled TOAD 10. ALthough it seemed to "see" the client in the drop down box, it did not wish to connect - said it couldnt run the oci

The questions:
Do I install the Server or Desktop (I dont recall having this choice before)?
For TOAD, can I install the 64 bit client ?

Any ideas/guidance would be greatly appreciated. Not much brown hair left on my head to begin with and this isnt helping.
Thanks folks.
