9 years ago Of course. Forgot to mention, since a Windows binary has been built with Microsoft Visual Studio 2003, that is expected that Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 is a dependency.
TODO:
- [x] document a dependency somewhere (perhaps to
win/README.md) - [x] find a way to get rid of that dependency, if any (linker option?) (see the next comment below)
Oracle Client does not have to be in the same directory as ocp. Adding of Oracle Client location to PATH environment variable will help too. That does not even have to be a system setting; a session-wide adjustment of PATH variable in a single command line window should work:
cmd
path %PATH%;c:\instantclient_11_2
ocp ...I thought it was an obvious requirement, since that is a general rule to add an Oracle Client to PATH variable. If that is not that obvious as believed, I will add it to win/README.md too.
When I tried to run the .exe I got the error message "The program can't start because MSVCR120.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I resolved the problem by downloading and installing vcredist-x86 as described in this post: http://superuser.com/questions/827752/run-vcredist-x86-exe-missing-msvcr120-dll
It might also help to explain that the Oracle thin client needs to be unzipped in the same directory as OCP. Or perhaps even add those to the distribution if there's no license issues.
