Re: How to add the TNS_ADMIN to Windows registry

Hi,

To make a registry entry:

1. Click Start;
2. Move to Run and click;
3. Enter regedit as the program to run;
4. Click OK;
5. Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
6. Click SOFTWARE;
7. Go to ORACLE (make sure you're in the main ORACLE branch);
8. From the menu, select Edit->New->String Value;
9. Name your new string value TNS_ADMIN; 10.From the menu, select Edit->Modify, and enter d:\orant\network\admin

But ..... you shouldn't be in need of this parameter: assuming that your Oracle home is d:\orant, the search path for network configuration files defaults to d:\orant\network\admin when no TNS_ADMIN parameter exists (assuming the configuration files are not in d:\orant\bin).

Good luck,

Paul.
