error while connecting to oracle from Microsoft .net data provider for oracle

[Reny J Joseph Thuthikattu]

Hi,
When i try to connect to oracle from my vb.net application i am getting
(System.Data.OracleClient)
following error
"Unable to find entry point named OCIEnvCreate in Dll oci.dll"

I tried to connect using Microsoft .Net Data Provider for oracle.

The connection string is "Server=pcname;uid=username;pwd=password;"

Please help me out

Hi Reny,

You can better ask this question in the newsgroup

Miha answers there almost all Oracle related questions and when not Bill or
Kevin do that.

I hope this helps?

Your question is not related to VB.NET, so I recommend posting to a more
general group:

Problems with the newserver?

No, but problems with keyboard and mouse. Windows doesn't like my
Optical Wireless Desktop for Bluetooth any more :-(.

Herfried,

This you find funny I think, I never wanted a Wireless Desktop.

Because I am afraid that takes time when I was shooting in Interent games.

I never wanted it too, but I got it as a present :-|.

In case you have more than one Oracle client installed, check the path variable of your computer, to ensure that the path for the newest clients is in front of the oldest client.
