Toad for Oracle & DevOps Toolkit
10

I set this aside for a day and then looked at it again and found an article by you (@JohnDorlon) suggesting to do the following:

  1. Use the deinstaller to deinstall the 12.2 client
  2. Make sure there is no trace of any oracle client on your computer:
  • Hard drive (check where it was installed, and also look under Program Files and Program Files (x86)
  • System path
  • Registry - specifically HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE. If it's still there, delete that node after deinstall. Also HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE.
  • Environment Variables: Any oracle-related environment variables (except TNS_ADMIN) should be removed.
  1. Reboot
  2. Reinstall oracle client.
    If you have 64 bit Toad, you must use 64 bit Oracle client.
    If you have 32 bit Toad, you must use 32 bit Oracle client.

Once I did this, the correct Home directory and references showed up and TOAD is working now.
Thank you all for pointing me in the right direction.

Dan
