ODP.NET Publisher Policies

We recently started running into a problem. We had a .NET winform application built with ODP.NET 9.2.0.4. We rolled out a new OS image that had only the 10.1.200 Oracle client and ODP.NET.

The existing application stopped working, as it wanted a 9.2.0.4 client.

After doing some further research, I've discovered that publisher policies are my answer. All our machines are currently running 10.1.0.200 of ODP.NET, however, and that build did not seem to install or include publisher policies. 10.1.0.400 both includes, and installs by default these policies into the GAC.

I'm hoping there's some way I can get or build publisher policies for 10.1.0.200. That way, I could get a script run that simply installs these policies into the GAC of all machines on site. Otherwise, it seems my other option is to uninstall all the 10.1.0.200, and reinstall 10.1.0.400.

>From what I've managed to learn about publisher policies, they're done
by the publisher of the component. I think I need access to the .key file in order to generate my own, which of course, I do not have for the Oracle.DataAccess assemblies.

Anyone know if these publisher policies are available for 10.1.0.200 somewhere? Received on Thu Jun 23 2005 - 09:13:22 CDT
