HELP! Oracle 10g .NET ODAC driver broke microsoft's oracle driver

[redss]

I installed oracle's 10g .Net OCAD driver 10.1.0.4.0 (ODAC101040.exe) and that broke the .NET apps on my box that use microsoft's oracle driver (system.data.oracleclient).

What can I do to make these drivers coexist on my box? I don't mind running a utility to switch the active driver between the two.

Hi, redss

May I suggest using only Oracle ODBC drivers? Although I don't use NET I have experienced problems when I use Microsoft's ODBC drivers for Oracle.

Well I am dependant on several applications that run on my workstation and utilize microsoft's oracle driver, so that's not really an option.
