  2. Click Advanced system settings.
  3. Click the Advanced tab.
  4. Click Environment Variables.
  5. In the System Variables panel create the following system variables if they do not already exist:

    • OLE_HOME – Enter the path to the Oracle database home directory.

    • TNS_ADMIN – Enter the path to the NETWORK/ADMIN subfolder in the Oracle database home directory.

  6. Click OK to close the Environment Variables dialog box.
  7. Click OK to close the System Properties dialog box.
