Oracle connections broken in SSIS after uninstalling 32bit version of oracle client

I get the following error message when I try to test my connections:
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. The 'OraOLEDB.Oracle.1' provider is not registered on the local machine
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 Install for SSIS connectivity (and drivers 32 64 bit)
Oracle Client Provider for OLE DB in SSIS not working
Connecting to Oracle 11g on 64-bit (x64) machine SSIS 2012

Windows API BackupRead failing with error 50 on Windows Storage Server 2008 R2

We have a backup application that uses the Windows API BackupRead. It works correctly on Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2008 R2. It does not work on Storage Server 2008 R2. It always fails with error 50 - The request is not supported. The documentation for BackupRead gives no indication that it will not work with Storage Server 2008 R2.
Anyone else have any experience using this API on Storage Server 2008 R2? Did you need to make any changes to your use of the API in order for it to work?
Known problem between Windows 2008 and non-2008 volumes. Hot fix resolves it.

Using Oracle DB from C#-VS2005

Oracle installed on the server is 10.2.0.3 Enterprise Edition 64bit (10g).
ODAC is showing version as 10.2.0.2.20 is on a Windows 2008 x64 machine.
Error I run into when I run my app in my test environment in above machine is
The type initializer for 'Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection' threw an exception.
I tried using .Net Oracle namespace and I get this using a version from
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727
Error:
Oracle client libraries threw BadImageFormatException. This problem will occur when running in 64 bit mode with the 32 bit Oracle client components installed.
Anyone run into such an issue?
Also what is the right Oracle Client/ODAC to use on Windows 2008 x64 machine? Anyonen have a link?
You seem to have installed the 32 bits Oracle client, or you must have a 32 dll masking your 64bits client. You need to install the 64bits client so that 64 bits dll can be accessed by your app. Look for an oci*.dll in your path.
Also look into the registry under hklm\software\oracle to see how many 'homes' you have.
Finally if you have toad on that client look at the home selector in the connection dialog box. It will show incomplete or inoperative homes in red.

Visual Studio 2008/2010 & SQL Server 2008 on Windows 7 Home Premium

Are there any limitations with respect to developing ASP.NET and WPF apps using VS 2008/2010 and SQL Server 2008 on Windows 7 Home Premium?
I know you can run IIS 7.5 on Home Premium. I Googled and Binged on Home Premium and VS/SQL Server and couldn't find much. It doesn't look like the features missing from Home Premium, domain joining, xp mode, etc... shouldn't prevent one from running and developing in VS/SQL Server.
Update
I did discover one limitation w/IIS 7.5 and it applies to all versions of Windows 7 I think. You can't create your own self signed SSL certificate specifying a name other than the machine name. You're stuck with your machine name which isn't that big a deal, but it is a change from previous versions.
Update II
You can't do remote debugging on Home Premium. msvsmon won't run at all. I can't even get it to do remote debugging natively.
Visual studio will run fine. You will be "limited" to either SQL Server Express, or SQL Server Developer edition as the mssql installer checks the OS version and will refuse to install the higher end editions on desktop OSes. Note that developer edition is the exact same as the higher end editions, except with a different license, you can only use it for development, not to run real databases.
Yes, you can, and you won't have any trouble with it.
In general, application compatibility is not affected by the edition (not version) of Windows.
I would consider what the target infrastructure (Windows/IIS, .net, SQL Server etc versions) would be if you want to deploy it...
