I accidently installed System.Data.OracleClient
64-bit (ODAC) and used the Oracle Uninstaller to remove the client, then proceeded to install the 32-bit ODAC. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get rid of the 64-bit System.Data.OracleClient
from the C:\Windows\assembly folder! It keeps on saying that it is in use, even when booting into safe mode. Has anyone ever successfully removed this assembly, and if so, how did you do it?
System.Data.OracleClient
is not part of ODAC, it's part of the .NET Framework and should thus be left alone. ODAC installs the Oracle.DataAccess.Client
and Oracle.DataAccess.Types
namespaces, and they both live in Oracle.DataAccess.dll
.
