In Win 7 you need to "Run as administrator" while installing the client. Could you explain the steps you followed.

You said:

* The operating System is windows 7 32 bit
* I have installed my application in folder other than (x86) although it is a 32 bit application.

So both the OS and the application are 32 bit? Then of course you would also need the 32bit Oracle client and drivers to connect to the database, the 64 bit drivers won't work.
