Ruby OCI.DLL Load Error

I'm new to Ruby, and I'm having problems with the oci8 gem for oracle. I installed the gem correctly then downloaded the instant client from the oracle page for 64 bit windows and I'm getting the following error:

n `require': OCI.DLL: 193(%1 no es una aplicaci�n Win32 v�lida. ) (LoadError)

The thing is that I downloaded the 64 bit version from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/winx64soft-089540.html and added the path to where I decompressed the file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Note first you must install instantclient followed by oci8 gem, otherwise oci8 will not be available.

Uninstall oci8 gem and reinstall it again

Follow this article. I was having the same issue

Also add the instant client path to the environment variables ‘Path’(folder containing OCI.dll ).
