Having issues connecting to Oracle (12c) using Visual Studio 2015 update 3 on Windows 10. I get the following error when testing the connection.
I need to connect using the .Net Providers and looking for advice/guidance on how to resolve the 32/64 bit issue.
I have followed this article Installing Oracle Data Provider for .NET and have managed to unzip the contents of the file to the c:\oracle directory and ran the batch file with the following parameters:
install_odpm.bat c:\oracle both false
The installation appears to run successfully, however, I still get the error in VS 2015.
I mostly use SQL server so not much experience troubleshooting Oracle connections.Any advice appreciated.

I managed to resolve the issue. I followed these steps and it worked:
Download and install both 32 and 64 bit clients from Client
Download and install ODAC for Visual Studio 2015
Make sure visual studio 2015 is closed in the process.
