The oracle documentation does not cover how to run two clients on windows with the default windows configuration. It isn't as simple as setting up two clients on any other environment. The oracle home selector in windows simply switches the PATH entry order. This is a major problem for clients that use these settings. You have links pasted, but the links don't point to the specific documentation and they are generic. What docs outline multi-homing on windows with 32 and 64 bit clients and configuring applications to use a particular client? Received on Fri Apr 13 2007 - 13:47:08 CDT
