I use TOAD 10.2.1.3 under Windows7 and get the following error:

Cannot find OCI DLL: C:\Oracle\Product\11.2.0\oci.dll

that is strange because exact in the same path I can find oci.dll. That is 64 bit system, that might not be the problem! Any Idea? I am thankful for every hint!

If you are using TOAD, you will need to download the 32-bit version of the Oracle Client Tools.

Since the Client Tools are different on a per-processor architecture basis, you probably need to install versions.
