Interesting ... I've installed the instant client correctly and all I get from my 9.2.0.6 database is an ORA-12705 error stating an unknown or invalid NLS parameter exists. Nothing in my glogin.sql file appears to be causing this. If someone can get this to connect successfully to an Oracle instance older than 10.1.0 let me know.
