As with all previous versions of the Oracle ODBC drivers, the Visigenic driver requires that the appropriate Oracle client software (SQL*Net) be installed on the system before the driver will work properly. Currently, Oracle does not have a version of SQL*Net that is supported on Windows 95; therefore the Visigenic driver is not supported on Windows 95.
Visigenic Corporation has identified a workaround for using their Oracle ODBC driver with Windows 95. For more information about this possible workaround, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
ARTICLE-ID: Q140498
TITLE : INF: Using the Visigenic Oracle Driver on WinNT & Win95
Under Windows NT, the Visigenic driver will work with either the 1.1x or the 2.1x versions of the Oracle 32bit SQL*Net libraries.
