Deploy web app. with Oracle Client on a different drive than the a

[petro]

I am trying to deploy an asp.net application to my web server. My
application uses system.data.oledb to connect to an oracle database. On my
development machine I have the oracle client 10g installed and my application
works. But on the Web server I get the error below. I believe it is because
the Oracle client was not installed on the web server. The web server has
two drives, our techs installed the oracle client on one drive and my
application is on the other drive and I still get the same error and I think
this is because the oracle client must be on the same drive as my web
project. But my co worker believes this is not the problem, he thinks it is
possible to make the application look for the oracle client on the other
drive, is this possible if so does any one know how to do this. I think to do
this I would have to make System.Data.Oledb look for the oracle client on the
other drive. I have never heard of such a thing. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.
