we have a standard desktop or laptop image which we install the client and create a package containing the change, we then push to the pc's that require the oracle client.

We use onames with a primary and secondary name server.

Subject: oracle client on PC's

Rather than installing the Oracle client on every client PC, we have been:
- installing client on 1 PC

- copying directory to a network server

- extract the registry for "oracle" key

- fix registry that was extracted to reference the network drive

- load registry on client PCs

- add the network pc as a search drive to the client pc.

We are now experiencing problems over the WAN and looking at ways to eliminate the Oracle dll overhead. Short of installing Oracle on every client PC, what are our options?
