OracleClient finding Oracle DLLs

I've developed a working application using System.Data.OracleClient. For it
to run properly, it needs Oracle's client software installed. I was able to
get it to work by placing a few of Oracle's DLLs in the system32 folder.

The computer on which the app will be used does not have the Oracle client
installed, and it would be a lot easier if I did not have to make changes to
system32.

Is there a way to have OracleConnection look somewhere else for those DLLs?
I have already tried playing with environment variables without success
(changing PATH and WINDIR). As soon as I put the DLLs back in system32, it
works fine.

Thanks,
Mike

Oops. I was just missing one of the important DLLs.
