Oracle ODBC - missing drivers?

I installed

ODAC 11.2 Release 3 and Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (11.2.0.2.1)

from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/utilsoft-086879.html

but i still do not see Oracle driver in the ODBC Manager... please help.

i checked the ODBC Drivers in the Registry, and only found SQL there... maybe i downloaded the wrong thing? someone please point me in the right direction.

Call "c:\windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" from the start/run box or from the command prompt, so the drivers are more likely to appear. I´ve been through similar problems with Oracle Instant Client (basic and ODBC) 32-bit driver not appearing at the ODBC Admin Window. I was able to configure a Data Source to Oracle 11g Express by calling "c:\windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe" this way.

I can't access the page you referenced to read about it, but to install the Oracle ODBC driver you can install the Oracle Instant Client. This page gives some good instructions on how to do it. Once the instant client is installed, the Oracle ODBC driver should show in the ODBC Manager. Note that you do not need a full client install to use the ODBC driver.
