I'm trying to install the Oracle Instant Client and ODBC drivers on a 64 bit, Windows 7 machine.
I have downloaded BOTH
- Instant Client Package - Basic
- Instant Client Package - ODBC
I had put both sets of files in the same directory:
C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2
I set both the ORACLE_HOME
and TNS_ADMIN
environment variables to the same directory:
C:\Oracle\instantclient_11_2
Finally, I am trying to execute the "odbc_install.exe
" file as an administrator.
ERROR: Oracle ODBC driver with the same name already exists
The one thing I did BEFORE any of this was to install and later uninstall the OracleXEClient.exe
file.
Not sure how to proceed???
You may get this message if you didn't run the command prompt or odbc_install.exe as administrator.
