This document provides instructions for removing an existing Oracle installation and installing the Oracle 11g Data Provider for .NET on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Server 2008. It is a multi-step process that takes 45-75 minutes depending on system specifications. Existing Oracle software must be uninstalled by deleting registry keys and folders before installing the .NET data provider software from a shared network location and configuring tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files. Connectivity can then be tested using a sample username and password.

C:\app\[UserName]\product C:\app\product If you have a D drive do the same there as well

If it still wont delete reboot your computer and try again.

The sqlnet.ora file still needs to be copied and is generic (not environment specific). 12. Use the connection testing tool to confirm that .net can connect to oracle. Test with the following credentials (good for any oracle database). You will get a response saying the account is locked. This means you can connect. Username: Scott

Password: Tiger (Scott was the first name of one of the Oracle founders and his pets name was Tiger)
