This time, by the way, I cut and paste which also worked - so no files are actually needed in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ folders. UPDATE on 1/12/11: I had to install TOAD again today and noticed a message in the installer about directories with parentheses - glad to see Quest now added a note about it (see screenshot below).įunny thing is, even though I installed to C:\Program Files\, there were still files created in C:\Program Files (x86)\ that I had to manually copy and paste over. Vendors (like Oracle and TOAD) should know Microsoft is capable of doing strange things with important directory names (using spaces and, in this case, “strange” characters like parentheses)…and of course, Microsoft should simply stop perpetuating the use of these characters in important directories. Everything is working great, without having to reinstall anything. Note: When running on a 64-bit operating system, you must use the 32- bit Oracle Client. to C:\Program Files\., and restarted the TOAD.exe. To help guide customers on how to install, configure, and test both the 32-bit and 64-bit Oracle Data Provider for. I simply copied over my entire Quest Software directory from C:\Program Files (x86)\. You are likely running a 64-bit Windows OS and have installed TOAD into C:\Program Files (x86)\.

Toad for Oracle offers a 32 and 64-bit version. This really threw me off for a minute, so I thought I would share the resolution. Development Tools downloads - Toad for Oracle Freeware by Quest Software and.


I recently downloaded the new 10.x version of TOAD and could not connect to my databases.
