Hi, I have just installed v12.5.0.99 and upon starting it says I do not have an Oracle Home installed which I do. This works fine with version 10.6.1.3. Is there a way that I can force it to see my Oracle Home? Thanks ---

Did you download the 64 bit version of toad? If so you will need a 64 bit oracle client. If you wish to use 32 bit oracle client then uninstall 64 bit version of toad and install the 32 bit version of toad ---

Did you install the right "bit" version? 64 bit Toad requires a 64 bit Oracle client. The same is true for 32 bit (needs a 32 bit client) Greg On Jul 2, 2014, at 5:39 AM, "mark.langdon" [bounce-marklangdon@toadworld.com](mailto:bounce-marklangdon@toadworld.com) wrote: > **[TOAD for Oracle 12.5.0.99 - Unable to find Oracle Home](http://www.toadworld.com/products/toad-for-oracle/f/10/t/22254.aspx)** > Thread created by mark.langdon > Hi, > > I have just installed v12.5.0.99 and upon starting it says I do not have an Oracle Home installed which I do.

Thanks everyone. I am up and running now. I had thought that my client was 64bit, but after checking it seems that it was not.
