Traditional Method:
Bentley Map V8I is 32-bit application, it requires a 32-bit Oracle Client.
OpenCities Map CONNECT is 64-bit application, requiring a 64-bit Oracle Client to connect to the Oracle Database.
If both the 32-bit Oracle Client and the 64-bit Oracle Client are installed on the same machine, the 64-bit client must be listed first in the PATH environmental variable for a Windows operating system.
Or
Symbolic link Method:
A possible workaround to using both 32- and 64-bit Oracle Clients on the same machine is to create a symbolic link for each version, and insert that link-name in the PATH.
In c:\windows\system, create a symbolic link (e.g. named 19c) that points to 64-bit Oracle client bin folder.
In c:\windows\sysWOW64, create a symbolic link with the same name that points to 32-bit Oracle client bin folder.
Put this in PATH:
c:\windows\system32\name-of-symbolic-link (e.g. 19c)
That should cause 64-bit applications to use the 64-bit client and 32-bit applications to use the 32-bit client.
NOTE: This workaround is provided by outside sources and is not supported by Bentley.
