Deploying dbexpress Delphi application

Question

I'm trying to deploy an oracle application to another machine that uses the dbxora.dll file from dbexpress. I have included the file with the program but when i run the program and try to execute a query, it returns with an error that it could not load the dbxora.dll.

I have the following all in a folder together:

dbxora.dll
Application.exe
dbxdrivers.ini
dbxconnection.ini

I have exhausted myself looking every where I possibly can think of to figure out how exactly to do this. I just can't figure it out.

As requested here are the contents of the dbxdrivers.ini file:

Also here is the error message i am getting in XP

The application or DLL \Application\Path\dbxora.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette

Then on both Windows xp and windows 7 i get this

Unable to load dbxora.dll (Error Code 193). It may be missing from the system path

Answer 1

After searching for hours and finally looking up the error code, i have found this result.

I was using the 64-bit version of the dll instead of the 32-bit. After correcting this issue it works perfect.

Thanks to everyone for all their help.
