Solution 1: Fix PATH
# Add to System Environment Variables
SET ORACLE_HOME=C:\app\oracle\product\19.0.0\dbhome_1
SET PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%ORACLE_HOME%\lib;%PATH%
Solution 2: Re-register Oracle libraries
# Run as Administrator
cd %ORACLE_HOME%\bin
sqlplus /nolog
# If that works, the issue is with environment
Solution 3: Check Windows SFC (System File Checker)
sfc /scannow
# Check for Oracle file corruption
chkdsk /f
Solution 4: Reinstall SQL*Plus component
# Using Oracle Universal Installer
setup.exe -deinstall -home %ORACLE_HOME% -component oracle.sqlplus
# Then reinstall component
If using Oracle Instant Client:
# For Instant Client
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/oracle/12.2/client64/lib
# Ensure libsqlplus.so exists there
ls -la $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/mesg/ ls -la $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/mesg/*.msb
