    The provider was never removed... again, it has to do with what version of TC 12.40 you were running.  so, if you want to run TC 12.40 you can do one of two things:

     

    1) Use the 32-bit version to run your tests so you can use the 32-bit Oracle provider

    2) Use the 64-bit version to run your tests and download/install a 64-bit Oracle provider.

     

    TestComplete did not "remove" anything from your system, it's all about the bitwise version of the provider and the bitwise version of TestComplete.
