Running C# application to client PC giving ERROR

Question

I am trying to run my C# application on client PC with new build but Instant Client is installed on it. In my application, I am accessing the database to retrieve some record to display. When I try to run the application on my development PC it works fine, but on client PC it shows me following Error: The store provider cannot found in configuration or is invalid

My app.congif contains following:

<configuration>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="StorageEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/StorageModel.csdl|res://*/StorageModel.ssdl|res://*/StorageModel.msl;provider=Oracle.DataAccess.Client;provider connection string=&quot;DATA SOURCE=myData;PASSWORD=myPass;PERSIST SECURITY INFO=True;USER ID=myUser&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
  </connectionStrings>
  <startup>
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0" />
  </startup>
</configuration>

does [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12226842/the-specified-store-provider-cannot-be-found-in-the-configuration-or-is-not-val) help? — default, Apr 03 '13 at 14:43
I am unable to install this on client PC at the moment. Access rights issue.. — chand, Apr 03 '13 at 15:00
I used TNS names in my connection string, I wonder if this is the issue as client PC may not understand this ?? — chand, Apr 03 '13 at 15:03

Install Microsoft Process Monitor tool (it is free) configure it to capture all file access events of your application on the computer were the problem occurs, then look at the file access errors in the tool. – Siraf Apr 03 '13 at 14:39
