1 ODBC driver (any, either Oracle or Microsoft) 2 NET8
3 Required Support files (will install automatically if you install net8)

Personally I would install a normal (non-database administrator) client, as this would give me also sqlplus, and more important Oracle Objects for Ole (native OLE interface to Oracle, works in VB and VC, and is DAO/RDO like)
