I'm unable to install Oracle 10g client on Windows 7, it fails during system check screen. Is there any workaround or different install files for Windows 7? I was unable to find any downloads on Metalink.

Oracle is not yet certified for Windows 7. You might be able to try the Oracle 11g client, but you may run into similar problems.
