I think you would get different errors if you were trying to run a
mixed 32bit / 64bit environment as this is not allowed by Windows.

As you are concerned with Windows, rather than Unix / Linux, this may
not be relevant, however, it can sometimes help to repeat libraries in
the search path if there are interdependencies.  This is usually
indicated by a missing module that is contained in a library towards
the beginning of the search path.

This is documented by Oracle as supported.  The 11.2 client cannot
interwork with Oracle 8, but can with 9, 10 and 11.

I do not know why OCI support should be so difficult to build in, but it is!

Best wishes,
