So we reinstalled the Oracle Client but it didn´t help. The question ist, what happens "behind the scenes" when choosing the Oracle reader? Is there a central file (in the OS) which is used at this moment?
Hi all, we are running a 64 bit FME Desktop on a Windows OS and a 64 bit Oracle client. Everything works until we made an update of the ArcGIS Server. After that the FME Desktop crashes if we want to create a new workbench and choose an Oracle reader. After selecting it in the list box the software shut down!

Check out https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/130/how-to-set... -- the clue I'd really want to check is the contents of the PATH environment variable to make sure that on your system there is not anything before the Oracle client libraries. My hunch is that after updating your ArcGIS server something is up with your path. So you'd want to make sure that the Oracle Client directory is first.
I'd also suggest getting an existing workspace that uses Oracle and opening it in workbench and running it. That will cause the FME command line engine to try to load up the Oracle libraries and you may see more diagnostic information in the log window rolling by that could help you diagnose the problem.
But in terms of behind the scenes -- we just try to load up the Oracle client library DLLs and move on from there. So something with that configuration is causing you trouble. (I'd also review https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/204/why-are-my-oracle-formats-greyed-out-in-the-format.html as well)
