Hi joeyfaz,<br />
<br />
The blog is just saying not to install Oracle Server and Client in the same ORALCE_HOME but I am not sure whether they mean ORACLE_HOME or ORACLE_BASE.<br />
<br />
I have reinstalled Oracle Client into a diff location other than ...\product\11.2.0 but under the same ORACLE_BASE c:\app\Administrator (C:\app\Administrator\Orcl<wbr />eClient11g<wbr />R2) but still I am getting the same problem.<br />
<br />
Also I am not allowed to search for Oracle clients from TOAD UI as mentioned in the blog.<br />
<br />
When I click the ellipsis ... button, Toad is throwing the same error.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Rishi

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have installed Toad 9.7 on Windows Sever 2008 Enterprise x64 machine where I also have Oracle 11gR2 X64(Oracle Server &amp;&nbsp;Client) editions installed.<br />
<br />
I have both Oracle Server and Client installed &nbsp;into diff folders under C:\app\Administrator.<br />
<br />
Initially I have installed Toad 9.7 into c:\programfies x86 folder and I go the error &quot;You don't have Oracle Client installed&quot; at Toad startup<br />
<br />
I have tried reinstalling Toad 9.7 to custom folder assuming that the folder programfies x86 is giving the problem but I am getting the same error though I have Oracle Client installed into diff. folder<br />
<br />
I have attached error screenshots.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
