oracle loadjava error: Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) occurred at PC=0x8077E76

After installing latest updates for Windows 7 64-bit recently, I've found out Oracle's loadjava is now giving me this error:



Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) occurred at PC=0x8077E76

As the solution to this problem I found to be installing Oracle 11g (v. 11.1.0) client instead of existing 10g (v. 10.2.0) one, specifically win32_11gR1_client. Funnily enough, I wasn't even able to quickly find the client distributive on Oracle website so here's the link for you: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win32soft-098987.html
