title: OraOLEDB.Oracle provider is not registered on the local machine
body: <p>I just migrated from XP to Win 7. I am guessing this error has to do with switching operating systems. I wrote a .net application that basically massages a large amount of data and then connects to a database and inserts/updates a table.</p>
  
  <p>When I hit a button to connect to the database I run into the error regarding the oracle provider not being registered on my local machine.</p>
  
  <p>A clear, step by step outline of how I can fix this quickly would be much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>The exact error message is:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>'OraOLEDB.Oracle.1' provider is not registered on the local machine</p>
  </blockquote>
