Hi there,
Oracle.DataAccess.dll always takes OraOps10.dll (for 10 client)
but oracle client should be installed. One can experiment with number
of files in this client, for example some times ago I did oracle9i mini
client. I simply deleted the majority of files and left only those was
necessary, saved //HKLM/software/oracle registry branch and then
distributed this mini client with my software. It had size about 25M.
As you can see this way takes some efforts but then works fine :)
Best Regards,
Michael Milonov
