Instant Client Installation for Microsoft Windows 64-bit
See the Instant Client Home Page for more information about Instant Client packages.
Client-server version interoperability is detailed in Doc ID 207303.1. For example, Oracle Call Interface 19, 18 and 12.2 can connect to Oracle Database 11.2 or later. Some tools may have other restrictions.
- Download the appropriate Instant Client packages for your platform. All installations require the Basic or Basic Light package.
- Unzip the packages into a single directory such as
C:oracleinstantclient_19_3
- Add this directory to the
PATH
environment variable. If you have multiple versions of Oracle libraries installed, make sure the new directory occurs first in the path. Restart any terminal windows or otherwise make sure the new PATH is used by your applications. - Download and install the correct Visual Studio Redistributable from Microsoft. Instant Client 19 requires the Visual Studio 2017 redistributable. Instant Client 18 and 12.2 require the Visual Studio 2013 redistributable. Instant Client 12.1 requires the Visual Studio 2010 redistributable.
- If you intend to co-locate optional Oracle configuration files such as tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora, ldap.ora, or oraaccess.xml with Instant Client, then create a subdirectory such as
C:oracleinstantclient_19_3networkadmin
- Start your application.
This is the default Oracle client configuration directory for applications linked with this Instant Client.
Alternatively, Oracle client configuration files can be put in another, accessible directory. Then set the environment variable TNS_ADMIN to that directory name.
ODBC users should follow the ODBC Installation Instructions.
Oracle Client – это официальный клиент (программа), благодаря которому вы можете работать в базе данных Oracle. Вы получаете доступ базе данных, которая находится на стороннем компьютере, подсоединившись через удаленный сервер.
Воспользуйтесь этим клиентом и войдите в профиль, а также просканируйте права доступа и составления запросов. В этом клиенте вы можете работать в собственной БД. Этот софт можно установить на компьютер с OS Windows.
Войдя в эту программу, вы сможете просматривать БД, используя «проводниковую структуру файлов», но с практичным интерфейсом и оболочкой.
Версии
Сейчас в сети можно скачать этот клиент с «билдом» 12.0, но версия 11g считается намного лучше. Клиент Oracle Client 11g устанавливают на многих предприятиях и организациях. Софт можно устанавливать на компьютеры, в которых операционная система поддерживает 32 и 64 битную структуру файлов.
Главная особенность 32 разрядной версии программы – это поддержка Toad, SQL Developer и прочих инструментов визуализации. Версия x64 не подходит для подключения сторонних модулей.
Инсталляция
Устанавливая этот софт, вы выбираете тип установки: Instant Client, Administrator, Runtime и Custom. Инсталлировав клиент в первом режиме, вы сможете работать с разделенными библиотеками.
Указав Administrator, вы установите консоль администратора, которая интегрируется в дополнительные библиотеки клиента. В режиме Runtime вы инсталлируете пакет файлов вспомогательных утилит для простой обработки готовой базы данных.
В режиме «Custom» вы сами подбираете составные части, а потом установить их. Выбрав режим инсталляции, нажмите установить и подождите, пока установщик скопирует все файлы.
Полноценная работа софта доступна без инсталляции вспомогательных модулей и драйверов. Oracle Client также поддерживает работу через меню автозагрузки операционной системы. Этот клиент доступен для закачки в бесплатном режиме.
Ключевые особенности
- софт позволяет работать с удалёнными базами данных;
- перед установкой клиента можно воспользоваться одним из четырёх вариантов;
- программа запускается на 32 и 64-битных сборках OS Windows;
- этот клиент распространяется официально и создан разработчиками от Oracle;
- программа доступна для закачки в бесплатном режиме;
- графическая оболочка предназначена для неопытного пользователя компьютера.

In the following article, I am going to show you how to install the latest Oracle instant client 19.5 on Windows 10. As you know, Oracle Instant Client is a set of tools you need to connect and manage the Oracle database server. With this tool, we can connect to both local or remote Oracle database. Not like many other software, it needs extra steps in order to install the instant client. But don’t worry, we will cover it shortly.
Steps to Install Oracle Instant Client on Windows 10
Step 1. Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Redistributable
The Oracle Instant Client 19.5 requires the installation of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Redistributable. Make sure you have this software installed on Windows 10.
Step 2. Create a new directory for the instant client
Create a new folder under C:/ or any other folder. This new folder will be used to store the oracle instant client files. In this example, I will create a new folder called C:oracle
Step 3. Download the Oracle Instant Client
Now download the latest version of Oracle Instant Client. Choose the correct architecture that match your system. Or, if you are using Windows 10 64 bit, you can use the link below to directly download it. Choose one of these below
Basic Package
https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/nt/instantclient/19500/instantclient-basic-windows.x64-19.5.0.0.0dbru.zip
Basic Light Package
https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/nt/instantclient/19500/instantclient-basiclite-windows.x64-19.5.0.0.0dbru.zip
You will also need to download the Instant Client SDK Package below
https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/nt/instantclient/19500/instantclient-sdk-windows.x64-19.5.0.0.0dbru.zip
Save these two files inside the folder we created earlier.
Step 4. Extract the package
I assume you have two files below:
- instantclient-basic-windows.x64-19.5.0.0.0dbru.zip
- instantclient-sdk-windows.x64-19.5.0.0.0dbru.zip
First, extract the file instantclient-basic-windows.x64-19.5.0.0.0dbru.zip. It will produce a new subfolder called instantclient_19_5. Next, extract the file instantclient-sdk-windows.x64-19.5.0.0.0dbru.zip. The second file should be extracted into the instantclient_19_5 directory. Here are the folder content result
Step 5. Modify the Environment Variable
In this section, we are going to edit the Environment Variable. We will include the Oracle Instant Client path into the environment variable. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open Control Panel >> Settings
- Click Advanced System Settings
- On the Advanced tab, click Environment variables
- Under System Variables, create OCI_LIB64 if it does not exist. Set the value OCI_LIB64 to C:oracleinstantclient_19_5
- Under System Variables, edit PATH and include C:oracleinstantclient_19_5
Install

Click the See All link then scroll down to find: Oracle Database 19c Client (19.3) for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) Download this 🠊 WINDOWS.X64_193000_client.zip
Not this 🠊 WINDOWS.X64_193000_client_home.zip • Unzip C:swWINDOWS.X64_193000_client.zip. It will create dir: C:swWINDOWS.X64_193000_clientclient • Set windows system to show file extensions: Windows-Key 🠊 File Explorer 🠊 View 🠊 [x] File name extensions • Unset the ORACLE_HOME if install prompts with a conflict then restart install.
If when unzippinig you get filename too long errors you can rename zip file ic.zip then try again.
Ensure This is Done
Set windows system to show file extensions:
Windows-Key 🠊 File Explorer 🠊 View 🠊 [x] File name extensions
Procedure
1. Run C:swWINDOWS.X64_193000_clientclientsetup.exe As Administrator. Installer loads... 2. Installation Type: (x) Administrator 3. Oracle Home User Selection: (x) Use Windows Built-in Account 4. Installation Location: Oracle base: C:apporacleclient Software location: C:apporacleclientproduct19.0.0client_1 5. Summary: Select [Install] Process runs... Press [Close] when completed.
- The installer adds this entry to the PATH environment var:

- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREORACLE
TNS Administration
1. DetermineSet path to tnsnames.ora.
If your system has multiple Oracle clients on it - try using the
tnsnames.ora under the TNS_ADMIN path.
Otherwise set TNS_ADMIN env value to:
C:apporacleclientproduct19.0.0client_1networkadmin
2. Create appropriate entry in the tnsnames.ora file if not already done.
3. Make sure your Windows system does not name the file
with a .txt extension: tnsnames.ora.txt
GO CHECK!
Environment Variables
Recommended
ORACLE_BASE: C:apporacle ORACLE_HOME: C:apporacleclientproduct19.0.0client_1
If Your Environment Requires
ORACLE_SID: <YourOraSid> TNS_ADMIN: C:apporacleclientproduct19.0.0client_1networkadmin
Press Windows-Key then type env for option to edit environment vars.
Validate Connection
Ensure you can do the following to your Oracle database server.
1. Ping IP: ping <OracleDBSrv or RACSCAN> Ex: ping 192.168.1.42 2. Ping Port (via paping.exe etc.) Ex: paping -p 1521 192.168.1.42 3. TNS Ping: tnsping <MyTnsnames.ora Service Name> Ex: tnsping MYDB1
SQLPlus
Create Windows Shortcut
%ORACLE_HOME%BINsqlplus.exe <Username>/<Password>@<tnsnames.ora Svc>

Clean Environment Vars - rundll32.exe sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables - If exist, remove: ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, TNS_ADMIN - From PATH remove any Oracle entries. Run "set" from console to confirm env clean. 3. Remove directory Delete dir: C:appclient (or corresponding client parent dir)
Completely Uninstalling Manually
Exercise extreme care when removing registry entries. Removing incorrect entries can severely impact your computer.
Prerequisites
- Ensure you are logged in as a user with Administrator privileges.
- Make sure you have complete backups of your system before you make any changes.
1. Windows registry. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREORACLE - Delete the home (ex: KEY_OraClient19Home1). - Delete the key inst_loc. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREODBC Expand all subkeys and remove all keys related with the "Oracle ODBC Driver". HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServices Remove all keys under here that begin with ORACLE or ORAWEB. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesEventLog...Application Remove all keys under here that begin with ORACLE. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion...Uninstall Remove any entries related to Oracle. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Remove all keys that begin with Ora or ORCL (e.g. Oracle..., ORADC..., ORAMMC..., OraOLE..., OraPerf... and ORCL...). HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREClasses Remove all keys that begin with Ora or ORCL (e.g. Oracle..., ORADC..., ORAMMC..., OraOLE..., OraPerf... and ORCL...). HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareOracle Delete this ORACLE key. HKEY_USERS…SoftwareOracle Delete this ORACLE key. 2. Environment a. PATH = Remove any path to Oracle client. b. Remove ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN. 3. Directories and Files • Remove "Oracle" Items. • Though some might be hidden, in placing the path in File Explorer they should open. C:Program FilesOracle C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsOracle - OraClient19Home1 C:Users<UserName>AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart Menu C:Users<UserName>AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms %SystemDrive%Temp %SystemDrive%Documents and Settings<username>Local SettingsTemp 4. Misc Go to the drive where the Oracle software is installed on your machine and delete all ORACLE_BASE directories on your hard drive.
These steps have been derived from Doc ID 124353.1.
Installing 32-bit Client with 64-bit
1. Install this 64-bit client first. 2. Oracle 32-bit Client Install changes: a. If set, unset all Oracle environment vars: ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME. b. Run setup.exe passing: ORACLE_HOME_NAME=client_32 C:swNT_193000_clientclient32setup.exe ORACLE_HOME_NAME=client_32 Takes a few minutes to load. We wait... c. Software location changes: Oracle base: C:appclientoracle32 Software location: C:appclientoracle32product19.0.0client_32 3. Create a TNS_ADMIN System environment var. Set it to the 64-bit home network path: C:apporacleclientproduct19.0.0client_1networkadmin 4. Create a TNS_ADMINtnsnames.ora entry(s) as needed. 5. Create and test sqlplus shortcuts for both. 64: C:appclientoracleproduct19.0.0client_1binsqlplus.exe scotttiger@MYSVC 32: C:appclientoracle32product19.0.0client_32binsqlplus.exe scotttiger@MYSVC 6. Create and test ODBC connections for both. 64 ODBC Mgr: C:WindowsSystem32odbcad32.exe 32 ODBC Mgr: C:WindowsSysWOW64odbcad32.exe
Notes:
- Yes crazily the 64-bit ODBC Mgr is in a directory showing 32 and vice-verse.
- Both ODBC managers see the name of the all 32 and 64 bit DSN names. So you may want to give 32-bit entries a _32 extension.
- The 32 bit would not recognize the TNS_ADMIN env var so I simply copied the tnsnames.ora to both net paths. I bet there is a registry entry that will resolve this though.

Each software is released under license type that can be found on program pages as well as on search or category pages. Here are the most common license types:
Freeware
Freeware programs can be downloaded used free of charge and without any time limitations. Freeware products can be used free of charge for both personal and professional (commercial use).
Open Source
Open Source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify or enhance. Programs released under this license can be used at no cost for both personal and commercial purposes. There are many different open source licenses but they all must comply with the Open Source Definition — in brief: the software can be freely used, modified and shared.
Free to Play
This license is commonly used for video games and it allows users to download and play the game for free. Basically, a product is offered Free to Play (Freemium) and the user can decide if he wants to pay the money (Premium) for additional features, services, virtual or physical goods that expand the functionality of the game. In some cases, ads may be show to the users.
Demo
Demo programs have a limited functionality for free, but charge for an advanced set of features or for the removal of advertisements from the program’s interfaces. In some cases, all the functionality is disabled until the license is purchased. Demos are usually not time-limited (like Trial software) but the functionality is limited.
Trial
Trial software allows the user to evaluate the software for a limited amount of time. After that trial period (usually 15 to 90 days) the user can decide whether to buy the software or not. Even though, most trial software products are only time-limited some also have feature limitations.
Paid
Usually commercial software or games are produced for sale or to serve a commercial purpose.
