Current configuration: LLBLGen Pro: v2.6 Final (October 9th 2009) Database: Oracle 9i ODP.Net: 9i Template: Self servicing .NET: 1.1

The application is a fat client and is currently running on a Windows XP 32bit machine. The customer wants to upgrade to Windows 7 64bit machines, but I'm having trouble figuring out what to do about the 9i ODP.NET. The one I have is a 32bit app that won't install on Windows 7 64bit. Oracle's documentation indicates there is a 64bit app, but I can't find it on their site. Is it possible to use the 10g ODP.NET with this version of LLBLGen?

Yes v2.6's DQE and driver are compiled against 10g's ODP.NET. It will be tricky though: be sure you install ODP.NET 64bit, as that includes the 64bit client. Also make sure that your application runs as a 64bit application. This means you have to compile your code for 64bit or anycpu, not specifically for 32bit.

Thanks very much, you've saved me hours of trial and error.

I've been working on this part time since I last posted and it's not going well. I found the 64bit ODAC here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/index-090165.html But it won't install on a Windows 7 64bit operating system. The Universal Installer is showing a "Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition binary has stopped working" error. I have tried googling for answers, but none of the recommended fixes is working. Is there something special I have to do to get this to install?

This is more like an ODAC issue. Please post the fixes you tried already to see if someone can offer you a different one.

Tried to update java?

I have installed jre7 (version 1.7.0).

I have attempted to point to this jre by modifying the oraparam.ini file that comes packaged with the ODAC download per the Oracle documentation. Now I am getting an Abnormal program termination from the Universal Installer which just says "Unknown". It never even gets to the point of attempting to install ODAC, the installer itself is aborting.

Did you already watch this? He has good reviews for that fix.

Just a simple question: have you contacted Oracle about this? The universal installer is a nightmare, admitted, but it should still install ODP.NET properly. Another system doesn't work either?
