Connect To Oracle 10g 64 Bit using SQL Server Integration Services 2005 64 Bit

I am trying to create a oracle 10g connection in SSIS using connection manager and i am getting the following error,

Test Connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Oracle client and networking

components were not found. These components are supplied by Oracle corporation and are part of the

Oracle version 7.3.3 or later client software installation.

Provider is unable to function until these components are installed.

Can someone please help.

Thanks.

If your operating System and VS2005 are 32bits then you need to download and install the Oracle 10g client for Windows 32bits, when I last downloaded it was more than 1gig install it and create your connection to the database make sure your TNS ORA works before adding SSIS connection to Oracle. The client tools are free but you need an Oracle Technet account which you can create for free. The Developer is also free it let you see Oracle tables and databases. If you are in an employer's network I find connecting with Named Pipes is easier than TCP/IP. One more thing watch the installer. Hope this helps.

I forgot to add you must compile your code with AnyCPU.

Thanks for your reply Caddre..

But.. i have MS 2003 64 bit OS.. i have installed oracle 10g 64 bit server.. i can successfully connect thru sqlplus.. no problem...

I am missing something on SQL 2005 and i am not sure what it is...

So you are saying you have installed Oracle 10g 64bits client tools in the box? I know connecting through SQL plus does not solve development connection issue you need the client tools in your box this time 64bits. Another thing you are not missing anything but I think VS2005 unless you buy 64bits full version is 32bits that is not all your setup is 64bits, so you need to either make it all 64bits or develop in 32bits and deploy in 64bits because I read there are issues known issues.

yes - as far as i know all are 64bit

I cannot connect thru both providers - OLEDB and Net Oracle client
