Default Instant Client ODBC

I'm running Windows XP and want to connect MS Access to a remote Oracle
10g database. I have installed Instant Client 10.2.0.1.0 and the ODBC
package. The ODBC package includes odbc_install.exe. When I run that
file I get an error message "Could't find Oracle Instant Client in
present directory." I have the directory set in the path variable and
have ORACLE_HOME pointing to the same directory. Here is the contents
of the instant client directory:

classes12.jar
glogin.sql
oci.dll
ocijdbc10.dll
ociw32.dll
ODBCRelnotesJA.htm
ODBCRelnotesUS.htm
ODBC_IC_Readme_Win.html
odbc_install.exe
odbc_uninstall.exe
ojdbc14.jar
orannzsbb10.dll
oraocci10.dll
oraociicus10.dll
Orasqlplusic10.dll
sqlplus.exe
sqora.chm
sqora32.dll
sqoraja.chm
sqoras32.dll
sqresja.dll
sqresus.dll

I can connect to the remote using TOAD for Oracle from Quest Software,
but would like to be able to us MS Access.

Can anyone tell me why the odbc_install.exe is not working?
