Added my own comments as part of the solution because they help understand what the solution really was.
FYI: It's in the installation docs that all the files need to be in the same directory.

1.Download the zip files containing the SQL*Plus Instant Client package, and the OCI package from the OTN Instant Client page at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/instantclient.html. Both packages must be from the same version such as 11.1.0.6.
2.Create a new directory, for example, /home/instantclient11_2 on UNIX or c:\instantclient11_2 on Windows.
3.Unzip the two packages into the new directory.
