Clients and OLE DB provider for Oracle

We are trying to distribute the OLE DB provider for Oracle but are not sure what support files are needed to make it run properly. Does the Oracle clients need to be installed first before the MS OLE DB provider for Oracle will work?

Depends on what clients, what applications, what these
applications will be doing. But if the clients are going to
be access Oracle data directly (i.e. not just going through
linked servers on SQL Server), then generally yes you need
to install and configure the Oracle client files.
