A comrade gave me an installer that installed an Oracle 3.0 Lite db (runtime only), created an odbc dsn and allegedly installed the odbc driver.

I am running windows 98, but his installer was for win/nt.

My dsn looks fine. when I click the "Drivers" tab on the windows odbc administrator, I do not see an Oracle Lite odbc driver. The install log says that it installed driver ootod32.dll in c:/windows/system (which I confirmed). It put the db in the correct folder,
and then created c:/orant.

My questions are:

1. can you even run Oracle Lite 3.0 on win98? The Oracle website only talks about win95 and NT.
2. if ootod32.dll is the wrong odbc driver for win98, where can I get the correct one? I have crawled all over the Oracle website, and the only Oracle Lite downloads that I saw were for version 4.0.

thanks,
