Error received when logging into an Oracle database or launching SQL Navigator:
"Unhandled Exception error : OCI.dll can not be found"
OR
"Cannot load OCI DLL: oci.dll"
1) SQL Navigator requires that an Oracle client be installed and working properly before connecting to a database.
2) SQL Navigator does not support 64-bit clients.
RESOLUTION #1:
Make sure an Oracle client is installed and working properly. If it is not, install Oracle client or resolve Oracle client issue.
RESOLUTION #2:
Make sure the client being used is not a 64-bit Oracle client. If it is, install a 32-bit Oracle client.
RESOLUTION #3:
Make sure user has Read/Write Windows privileges to the Oracle Home path. For example, if Oracle Home path is "C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1", make sure user can access that path.
