Can I install and use XE on Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit?

I would like to install Oracle XE as a learning tool but have Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit which I see in the installation guide is not supported. I guess the answer therefore is to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional which the XE Installation Guide says is supported.
I have checked various forums and there seems to be some varying opinions on this. Before I go ahead and upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, can someone advise the best course of action please?

Good luck, managing the rdbms has many challenges.
The full 11g documentation can be quite helpful, even though XE has a subset of the SE or EE options, and going through the XE 2-Day DBA pages is good reading as well.

  • Can I install and use your Adobe products on a secondary hard drive?

    Hello, I have my OS and program files installed on a 128gb SSD and I have a 1TB HDD secondary. I want to avoid filling up that SSD as much as possible. Is there an option when installing your Adobe products  (which ones?) to install and use them in a drive and folder on the secondary drive?

    Simply choose a custom install and pick an alternate location in a folder on your secondary drive. just be aware that some components like the activation system and otehr shared stuff will always be installed on C:\, no matter what. You are stil lgoing to lose at least 1GB on your SSD drive.

  • How can I install Mac Mini drivers for Windows 7 32-bit if I didn't install Windows 7 using bootcamp?

    Hello. I have a mac-mini (mid 2010) and with bootcamp, was successfully running XP.
    I then decided to upgraded to Windows 7 had lots of trouble installing it on my existing bootcamp partition.
    I finally was able to install Windows 7, by just booting off the CD and letting it install that way.
    But reading more on it, I think I was supposed to use Bootcamp to do it for me...
    I had thought the Bootcamp Assistant was for only fresh installs of a Windows O.S. where no partitiion existed previously.
    I had a partition so thought Bootcamp wasn't required for my needs.
    But now, inside Windows 7, I have 0 drivers installed. I have an AirPort Express, so on the Mac side, I downloaded
    and installed the Windows version of AirPort Utility and copied it to my USB stick. Then
    I exported my settings to a text file on a USB Stick, then on Windows was able to successfully install AirPort Utility and import the settings.
    But it still doesn't find my network. I am pretty sure I'm broadcasting my SSID...
    So I need to know the following:
    1) How to know I'm broadcasting my SSID - where do I find this in settings?
    2) How I can install my mac-mini drivers on Windows 7 so I can use my existing wireless network, now that I've gone through the installation without using Bootcamp?
    3) Do I need to set up network adapters and all that stuff in Windows 7 first? If so, how and what drivers do I need?
    One other thing I tried was downloading Bootccamp 4.x and installing that on Windows 7 to see if it gives me the drivers that were supposed to be written to my USB stick if I had installed Windows 7 using Bootcamp in the first place... However I think the message it said was that it couldn't install as it was the wrong version. So I'm still stuck without drivers and therefore no internet.
    And that is my main task - getting the Internet up and running in Windows 7.
    Other Info:
    I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with 2 GB of memory.
    I installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7 and I don't know what version of Bootcamp I'm running...
    I can tell you that BootCamp Assistant is v3.0.4, but don't know if that means Bootcamp is also 3.0.4.
    Hope you can help.
    Thanks.

    I tried something that worked for me...
    Knowing that after my install of Windows 7 wasn't the correct method (didn't go through bootcamp), and the BootCamp 4.x package wouldn't install under windows 7, I tried reinstalling Bootcamp 4.x in Windows 7 to see what the exact message was it gave me. The message said it couldn't install because of a 32-bit O.S. vs a 64-bit version of the package.
    So that got me thinging - my XP version was 32-bit, and so is my Windows 7 installation. So I tried installing the bootcamp that came with my Mac OS X installation CD. This is bootcamp version 3.1.
    Not only did it install, but it practically took care of everything driver-wise for me. I was then able to see my wireless network, enter my password and I was connected. The only thing else I had to do to get on the Internet was bring IE8 online (guess it ships offline by default). Firewall and Antivirus are now installed, just a few more things to go.
    That's one thing that's just not clear that I'll be sure to note for next time... The Bootcamp packages you download are actually driver packages for Windows. That is where the Windows drivers exists that are necessary to make your Windows 7 PC work on a bootcamp partition!
    I didn't need the AirPoirt Utility at all (at least, I never went into it).
    Thanks VikingOSX for your post. I will not need to follow the steps you provided, but they may help someone else as all of these bootcamp issues I've been reading seem to be very unique per installation.
    Hopefully my solution helps others.

  • Can I install and use any 2.5" SATA hard disk on my Mac Mini (Late 2012)?

    I have a Mac Mini (Late 2012) which is currently housing a 500GB SATA hard disk. Unfortunately read errors have been detected and it seems to be slowing down. I want to replace this with another 500GB SATA hard disk and I was wondering whether any notebook (2.5") hard disk would work or whether I have to look for one with specific specs (such as RPM, SATA version, etc).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Any 2 1/2 inch STA HD will work as long as the height is 9.5 mm or less. All most all meet this requirement except very larger capacity ones
    I would opt for a SSD since those are a lot faster than a 2 1/2 HD and now they are very reasonably priced.
    You can consider installing a second disk to using:

  • Can we install and use Essbase 9.3.1 without Shared services ?

    Hi All,
    we need to have two different database schemas for Shared services and EAS. But we are currently having only one schema, so we started to install and configure with out using Shared services. Finally i have installed and configured EAS, Server and client. While configuring , i left the shared services part as we don't have another schema to use for that.
    When i logged into the Essbase environment, i tried to add a server, it was done. now when i tried to create an application under that sever.under the create option "application" is in disable state and rest are enabled.
    I am not getting where i went wrong.IS that the reason,i have not installed and configured Shared services
    Can anyone please let me know the reason to which i am failing to create a new application under the newly added server.
    Regards

    Hi,
    1. You need not install and configure shared services , if you intend to work only on essbase.
    2. In version 9, if you had installed essbase server, and have essbase admin server along with essbase administration sevices ( i.e EAS) , you are good to work on essbase.
    3. No need of shared serives, and even no need of any schema to configure, if you dont want to use shared services for managing users.
    4. The reason for failure? Pls send logs that would help

  • How can I install and use my purschased CD of cs6, without renewing my Creative Cloud subscription?

    I previously had a CS6 subscription through the cloud but after my year subscription was up, I decided to purchase the CD and install because I didn't like the idea of not being able to access my files without monthly payments. After I uninstalled the programs from my subscription, I installed my purchased disc of CS6 and when I went to open InDesign, an expiration message pops up telling me to renew my subscription? How can I get rid of that message and use my product?

  • Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit.

    This seems to happen with every fifth or sixth iTunes update, and iTunes is incapacitated until the following update.  In this case, the error message is as follows:
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft VC80.CRT .type="win32" .version = "8.0.50727.6195"  HRESULT: 0x80070091

    Ready to roll up your sleeves and try again?
    The steps below should result in a set of detailed log files on the desktop for the selected installer. Once generated review the logs for clues as to why particular components would not install.
    Uninstall all Apple components, as shown in second box of the troubleshooting user tip.
    Extract the .msi files from your chosen setup file into the root of drive C:\
    See the Install missing components section of the user tip for more information on this step.
    Triple click the first line from the relevant batch below that corresponds to your setup file.
    Press Ctrl+C on your keyboard to copy the selected line.
    Press the WindowsLogoKey (between Ctrl and Alt) +R to open the run dialog.
    Press Ctrl+V on your keyboard to paste the selected line.
    Press Enter/Return on the keyboard.
    Follow any on screen prompts.
    Repeat for the next line.
    You will end up with 5 or 6 text files on your desktop which are the installation logs.
    You should review the log for any component that failed to install correctly using Notepad or Notepad++ looking for keywords such as error or failed.
