I'm just guessing here, but when visual studio is used to deploy the application, it includes a manifest file, which tells where and what is included in the application. So I'm not sure you can just copy the DLLS and the program executable into a directory without all of the support files as well. Also, when I include the oracle DLLs in the project itself, I tell it to copy the oracle files into the EXE directory (the application then knows they exist).

I also am using System.Data.OracleClient. When I run the exe, I receive error “System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.” So, my exe is not looking into the current directory for the dlls. Any ideas?
