Installing the basic 32 bit oracle client and then adding the below to connection string worked for me.
“Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=<service_name>))(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=)(PORT=1521)));Uid=;Pwd=;”
Choose System.Data.OracleClient from the dropdown.
Since it’s a basic client, and I am using the descriptive connection string, I didn’t have to include any .ora files at all.
