For Oracle 10g, Oracle no longer provides support and download services, and Oracle does not provide support for installing Oracle 10g client on Windows 7. Generally, you can download vista_w2k8_x86_production_client of version 10203 or 10204. If it is 64bit, download the corresponding 64bit version. Because Windows 7 is not supported, You need to modify it slightly.
I. Environment Win7 32bit
The downloaded version is 10203_vista_w2k8_x86_production_client.
10203_vista_w2k8_x86_production_client.zip
