I have installed Oracle 10g database and 10g client on the same windows XP PC and when I attempt to create a connection in Entity Developer, I get the following error.
I checked the permissions for the bin folder in oracle directory and gave full permissions to everyone. Also I'm able to connect with sqldeveloper just fine. I also get the same error when I connect with my ASP.NET web application.
