I am trying to install ODAC 18c Release 1 (18.3.0.0.0) and when I click on the Setup.exe it shows the black screen(command prompt ) and there after nothing is coming. The universal Installer is not at all loading.
Currently I am using Windows 10 Enterprise edition ,
VS 2015 , 2017 Professional editions are installed.
My Machine is 64 bit
Other than the above I have installed ODTwithODAC1120320_32bit also in my system.
No idea why the installer is crashing.
I could see a prerequisite like
Access to an Oracle Database Server (Oracle 11g Release 2 or later)
is needed for the instillation in installation guide. In fact my oracle database server is located in some other place and we are accessing that from my location , so I need only client for accessing that. I am not sure what they meant by
Access to an Oracle Database Server (Oracle 11g Release 2 or later)
Do I need to install the Oracle database 11g+ ?? Do the crashing issue is because of some other reasons ?
Can someone help me to resolve this ?
Methods I have tried so far :
Open the install folder directly and click on the oui.exe directly
Disconnect internet and try to install
Run the installation exe in elevated rights mode
Kill the java.exe from task manager and try to install
None of the above methods are working.
And finally I found the reason.
I didn't have a _JAVA_OPTIONS in the system variables. I have added that and run the installer as run as administrator.
The variable value should be -Xmx512M

I originally had 32 bit and 64 bit version of Oracle 12 client installed on my work machine. I uninstalled the 32bit version, because it was causing some conflicts with another application, but now after uninstalling I can no longer use my oracle connections in SSIS.
I'm using Visual Studio 2017 - I am pretty sure I installed 64bit version of SSDT, but it looks like they install under the 86x programs folder. I can still connect via TOAD, so it looks to be an issue of SSIS not pointing to the 64bit installation, I think. Can I manually set SSIS to point to the 64bit version, or do I need to reinstall 32bit?
TSN_Admin is set to the oracle12c_64 tsnname.ora file. I have also tried using the regsvr32.exe on oraoledb12.dll file, but I get an error message, even after running command prompt as admin:
The Module "OraOLEDB.dll" was loaded by the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005.
I can reinstall the the 32bit version, but I need to wait for my company's IT department to approve the request first. It could be days before I get a response.
Update 1 - Visual Studio 64-bit
After searching it looks like there is not Visual Studio 64-bit version:
Visual Studio 64 bit?
Initial Answer
I don't know if there is an official documentation for this, but based on my own experience you need to instal oracle client 32-bit on the developpement machine, because SQL Server Data Tools for Visual studio is a 32-bit application and it will not work will work with oracle client 64-bit.
But you can execute .dtsx package without any issue if you are working with oracle 64-bit client, you need to use the appropriate DtExec path:
32-bit
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\DtExec.exe
64-bit
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\DtExec.exe
While searching, i found many other links that share the same opinion:

Oracle Client Provider for OLE DB in SSIS not working
Connecting to Oracle 11g on 64-bit (x64) machine SSIS 2012
I am using an Excel VBA application to connect to an Oracle 12c database.
Excel is 2010, 32 bit, in Windows 7.
Many have advised Oracle Instant Client, but this has not worked for me. The installation requires a number of configuration steps that I cannot perform due to administrative restrictions on my workstation.
However, I have installed the ODAC 12.2c Release 1 and Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (12.2.0.1.0), available HERE. This package includes the Oracle ODBC driver which works for my application. However, it contains several other components that I do not need, and throws some errors during installation that are disconcerting.
Can anyone tell me which of the following components I actually need to select in order to get the ODBC Driver?
Since I cannot get InstantClient to work with my companies restrictions, I'm now aiming to use this package, but hopefully to slim it down to just the component I need. I'm doing trial and error, but it's messy. The installation takes a long time and there's no uninstaller, so I have to manually delete the files after installation.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
The smallest solution is to download the
Instant Client Package - ODBC: Additional libraries for enabling ODBC applications (instantclient-odbc-nt-12.2.0.1.0-2.zip)
from Instant Client Downloads for Microsoft Windows 32-bit
You can also download the ODAC with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio from ODAC Developer Downloads - Oracle Universal Installer
Get the full 32-bit Oracle client installer (not the ODAC) from here:
http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/oracle12c/122010/win32_12201_client.zip
Do an silent install using this reponse file (edit as needed and save as client_install_32.rsp in the same directory as setup.exe)
Response file
setup.exe" ORACLE_HOME_NAME=OracleClient12201x32 -waitforcompletion -nowait -silent -responseFile client_install_32.rsp
The key config entry is this:
oracle.install.client.customComponents="oracle.rdbms.oci:12.2.0.1.0","oracle.network.client:12.2.0.1.0","oracle.odbc:12.2.0.1.0"
I got ODTwithODAC121021 here It installs the Oracle Client, ODAC, and ODT bits.
When I run the installer, the prerequisite check fails with this:
Reference data is not available for release "12.1" on the operating system distribution "Windows XP5.1".
I actually have Windows 7 Professional SP1
Huh?
My intent is to get the ODT bits into Visual Studio 2010 so I can use Server Explorer and Entity Framework. I don't really need a new Oracle Client, I've already got one installed to match our 11g server version, but it seems I can't pick and choose with this installer, which won't run.
Suggestions? thanks.
This is a bug in this specific version of the Oracle Installer. Here is the workaround:
After making sure the installer is not running, please open up this file in the staging area where you unzipped ODAC:
....\stage\cvu\cv\admin\cvu_config
And in that file change the CV_ASSUME_DISTID value that is there to 6.1
Then save the changes and run the installer again.
This will force the installer to assume you have Windows 7.
This one drives me crazy, I am installing Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Windows 64 bit version. Because Express edition doesn't work on win7.
Link to download is: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win64soft-094461.html
In total there are 2 files, using 7zip I have unzipped them in one folder. Folder is called 'database' containing:
doc
install
response
stage
setup
welcome
I double clicked on setup, passed installation option where they ask me to provide email address to be informed of security issues. I selected 'Create and configure a database'. And in the next step where they ask for type of installation I chose 'Desktop Class'. After I clicked on 'Next' the installer just closes and installation is stopped..
Any idea what might be the cause? I have the rights, I am using a clean new laptop, WIN7 64 bit, installed JDK.
Oracle 11G Express Edition is officially available on 64-bit versions of Windows (Finally!).
Oracle 11G Express Edition Download Page
If you purpose is some developing/testing/learning why not use pre-built Oracle VM images? You just need to install Virualbox and download the image file.
I quote:
Because Express edition doesn't work on win7.
It actually works.
Just right click on setup and click "run as administrator". Ignore any error message.
It worked on win7 64bit and Windows Server 2008 R2 (of course 64bit).

can anyone direct me to a version that i can install the latesr version of ODP.NET for Windows 2008 server 64bit?
Best regards,
Guy Bertental
It's a really tricky. Before installing ODP.NET you need to already have working connection setup to oracle database. That means:
Step 1:
Oracle install client (never succeeded with that, not recommended) or Oracle client (succeeded on Win7 ultimate 64bit, file win64_11gR1_client.zip, installed with "Runtime" option selected). After client install make sure you can connect. From command line try "tnsping yourtnanamesentry" to check if tnsnames is ok, and after that "sqlplus username/pwd#yourtnsnamesentry" to check if you know valid user and password and really can connect. Memorize or write down oracle home name and path you choosed during install.
Step 2:
Install ODP.NET (I did with file ODAC1110720.zip). Use exactly the same oracle home name, but different path during installation.
Step 3: try connecting with visual studio. For "server name" I used this: "oraclexe:1521/xe". That means I have machine called "oraclexe" which has oracle listener on port 1521, and database with instance name "xe". It's so-called "EZCONNECT" name.
I'm not sure if Step 1 is really needed or not, because maybe step3 really uses just oracle instant client.
I know, it is real pain, but this works. It took me 2 days to connect to oracle, and I had to install almost 1GB of downloaded oracle software. They could and should make that much, much, much, much easier. Like one-click install that just works. This is shame how complicated client install is.
Donwload and install Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) on your development computer.
Delete former references to Oracle.DataAccess on your project.
Add the new reference pointing to this new version.
In Visual Studio, after adding the reference select it, then choose properties to check the setting. Set “Specific Version” true , then check that “Copy Local” is false.
Build your solution using ANY CPU target.
Next, prepare your server. Install Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64) . When installing, select the RUNTIME OPTION.
Finally, deploy your solution to your server, as you always use to do. This time it should work.
The trick is to have the same ODAC version (11.2.0.1.0) on both the development and deployment enviroments. This ODAC contains the Oracle.DataAcces.Client which you should reference on your code to access classes like OracleConnection, OracleDataReader, etc.
I had problems because I had developed using ODAC 11.2.0.1.2 (32 bits, latest at this time) but there's no x64 version for this ODAC.
So, always use the latest stable ODAC version which has 32 bits and 64 bits version if you are going to develop on 32 bits and deploy on 64 bits.
Hi Ran into your problem, solution is get a copy of 10204_vista_w2k8_x64_production_client.zip (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/10204-winx64-vista-win2k8-082253.html) run this & it will install the client.
Unpack ODAC10203x64.zip then go to All Programs->OracleHome->Oracle Installation Products & run the Universal Installer. When the installer runs at the Specify Source Location browse to the Stage directory created when you unpacked ODAC10203x64.zip then install as normal.
There is a ODAC112012.zip but this will not talk to Oracle 9 dB's so the above will resolve talking to legacy dB's.
Guy- have a look at this, it may help. Getting Oracle client working is a pain at the best of times, x64 must make it harder.
I had unexpected crashes in my application using Instant Client 10.2.0.3 on Windows Server 2008 x64. After reading a few posts about the lack of support for this platform, I upgraded the client to 11.1.0.7 and it works like a charm !
So I would be surprised if ODP .NET 10.2.0.3 would be stable on Windows Server 2008 x64, if you ever managed to install it. IMHO, your options are :
use another provider (Microsoft+client v11.1, or DataDirect...).
go with the 11.1.0.7 beta version if you dare...
