Asp.net/vb and Oracle

Hopefully, I frame this problem/question correctly.

I have some code written/updated in visual studio 2003. This code when
setup on other machines where I have installed the Oracle 9i client, and the
Oracle 9.0 odbc drivers will connect to my oracle database when debugging. I
ported the SAME code onto a new machine, installed visual studio 2003,
installed IIS, installed the .net frameworks 1 thru 3, but when I am going
through the code and it attempts to open a connection to the database, I get
the following error:

Server Error in '/dev' Application.

A snippet of the code that makes the connection is a s follows

gsConnectionString = OLEDB_PROVIDER & "User ID=gtmsm;Password=" &
DB_DEV_ADMIN_PASSWORD & ";Data Source=mdevl.domain.com"

where OLEDB_PROVIDER =

Public Const OLEDB_PROVIDER As String = "Provider=MSDAORA.1;"

Dim cn As OleDbConnection = OpenDatabase(gsConnectionString)


Shared Function OpenDatabase(ByVal gsConnectionString As String) As
OleDbConnection
Dim cn As New OleDbConnection(gsConnectionString)
cn.Open()
Return cn
End Function


Oracle Pl/SQL connects just fine. The odbc connections to mdevl are working
just fine

What gives

Let me add, I have tried the suggestions in the following kb article

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/193225/EN-US/


Ah ha, actually at "runtime" I think I figured it out. I installed the
Oracle Provider for OLE DB components, as well as the orcle Data Provider for
..net and one of those seemed to do the trick
