Re: Oracle ODBC 8.0.5.0.0 driver not allowing setup

Ah !.. this is EXACTLY the same problem I faced and I got it resolved. The following might help.

1. use your ms dos prompt, try a 'tnsping <servicename>' does it work ?... Mine didn't.. it was the environment PATH error... oracle path wasn't there.. I just added the path and it worked for me... set PATH=%PATH%;C:\ORAWIN95\BIN

Thanks
