I'd recommend the 11gR2 (current) client. I believe it is backwards compatible with the 9.2 database. If you have problems installing the client or at runtime, it will be easier to get help with the newer client.
And BTW, the readme in the exploded distribution has what you need to set so that the client installs properly. I've been down that road. Hope it helps.. -----Original Message----- From: Martin J.

You didn't mention the platform.
