Unable to
open oracle connection (ora-06413)
Cause:
The problem scenario: some time oracle 10g could not open
connection with applications like Microsoft Access, Visual Studio, and ODBC
connections etc. Those applications are installed in C:\Program Files (x86).
And cause is that oracle do not make connection with such these applications
due to parentheses.
Solution:
Here's the real trick to making this all work; Set up a
symlink to the c:\Program Files (x86) folder without the parentheses.
Open Command Prompt and "Run as administrator" At
the command prompt, enter the following command;
mklink /D
"C:\Program Files x86" "C:\Program Files (x86)”
Now to onwards run applications from C:\Program Files x86.
