Hello

I Installed Oracle 12c 64bit Database on 2012R2 .
I need to install Oracle 12c 32bit client on the same machine because the application does not work 64bit
and it needs the 32bit client.
When I was working in 11G there was no problem and is works fine.
In 12c when I try to install the 32 bit client after I installed the 64bit database It "Throws" me from the installation
with no error .
I try to install the client in a different directory but still the same.

(There was no problem installing 11g 32bit client with the 12c 64bit database)

What can i do?

Attache is the log (that says nothing, i think)

Thank you
Yudit

I didn't have that problem yet. I usually install to c:\ora64_12c and c:\ora32_12c

Thank you.

Are you installing Administrator type?

Hello,

I solved the problem like this:

The install/oraparam.ini contains the following lines (even in a fresh download):
#MSVCREDIST_LOC flag will provide the name of the exe that is being shipped in stage/ext/bin
MSVCREDIST_LOC=vcredist_x64.exe

Change it like this :

This is incorrect because you need the 32-bit version (x86).
Now if you check stage/ext/bin, there is a file vcredist_x86.exe, and obviously no x64, since it is a 32-bit installer. Try editing oraparam.init and fixing the above line to:
MSVCREDIST_LOC=vcredist_x86.exe

And also had to add a Key to the REGEDIT:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE]
"inst_loc"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Oracle\\Inventory"

I hope it will help you Smile

Yudit

Just to add onto the thread for future generations, after changing the MSVCREDIST_LOC=vcredist_x86.exe I tried just running the bundled exe directly, and it failed with the error that "A newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable has been detected on the machine.", so I just disabled the installation by changing this: MSVCREDIST_INSTALL=FALSE
