May be the instant client you downloaded was for 32bit?

[shikelong]

both instant client and node were 64bit.

It appears that you installed node-oracledb globally. What was the output you got after you installed it?

It shouldn't make a difference but can you try to copy the app into "c:\test" then install the node-oracledb module locally and then try running "node oracledbtest.js" I wonder if the Unicode characters "爬虫" are causing an issue. Please let us know what happens. Thanks.

[shikelong]

Thanks! It caused by the Unicode characters. After I change the file oracledbtest.js's path to c:/. Then I "node oracledbtest.js", the connection is ok.

[bchr02]

okay, great. I'm glad you got it working.

@cjbj is this a bug with node-oracledb?

[cjbj]

@bchr02 I'll get it checked out. Instinctively I'd say not, but it's easy to check.

I came across this same error after inheriting a Meteor project compiled using the 32bit arc for OracleDB.
I was trying to compile with a 64bit version of node and Oracle instaclient and got the Error: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

Deleting the existing node_modules. Then opening a 32bit Node.js command prompt and running npm install then meteor run solved the error.
