bouche Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 We're trying to get a project setup on a server that we have no control over. The server needs an oracle driver installed. We've been trying to get them to do this for over a week. It takes 2 seconds to launch the driver setup and probably about 5 minutes to until it would be complete.I sent a followup email this morning and here was my response:"Im working on something this morning and it should be installed sometimes early this week."When does early this week finish? Isn't that like today? Yeesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
