how to install oracle 32bit and 64bit into 64bit windows

I have to install both 32 and 64bit oracle client to a 64bit windows as SSIS needs both to run

First installed 64bit without a glitch.

Then when I try to install 32bit, the setup app disappeared completely, after a few days struggling, I found the cure which is below.

Follow exactly what it says and 32bit was installed

 

I had the same issue and this answer may be a bit late now but this solved the issue.

Try creating the following registry entry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE]

"inst_loc"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Oracle\\Inventory"
