Corrupted 10g - Universal Installer won't Start - what do I do now?

Its a sorry tale!
Installed 10g - no problems, went fine.
Developed OCCI app against 10g. Set up test DB eventually getting some good results!
Realize I need 9i compatibility. Installed 9i client.
BIG MISTAKE - I think I installed in same home as 10g.
Now nothing works! Have even tried recovering PC to earlier checkpoint. Oracle still wont start.
Not even the UI will start!
What I would like to do is a COMPLETE and clean removal of 10g and start again!
I would be very grateful for any advice.
Many thanks.

Success!
I did a full uninstall and followed the clean up advice.
I re-insatlled and rebuilt my DB.
My OCCI application is now back under development!
But, just out of curiosity....why does the Oracle uninstall not provide an option to clean up and remove everything?
Thanks for your help and advice.

Oracle10g on Fedora Core 3 - Universal Installer Won't Start

With all users, environment settings, and files configured as specified, I am attempting to run the Oracle Universal Installer for Oracle10g on Fedora Core 3. Every time I do this I get a series of messages and the installer is never run - please help! The messages are shown below.

I have downloaded and installed the Java Runtime Environment from the Sun website, since I thought this could be the problem, but that didn't help. Any further thoughts...?
Thanks!

HT4061 my iphone dose not start it was stuck in restoring mode then it shut down and it won't start what shall i do

my iphone dose not start it was stuck in restoring mode then it shut down and it won't start what shall i do

If this has happened more than once the problem is likely on your PC.
See here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/

My iphone 3g has been restored but it went under safety mode and now it won't start, what do I do?

My iphone 3g has been restored but it went under safety mode and now it won't start, what do I do?
It just has a picture of the usb cord needs to hook up to i tunes but itunes says the problem about being unable to start it under safety mode

It's in recovery mode. You need to plug it into your computer running iTunes and restore it.

So my ipod touch won't turn on and I've tried to reset it but nothing i do seems to work. Also, I can't even get the Apple Logo to appear. It really won't start. what can i do?

try pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or battery symbol appears.. this worked for me when my ipod touch didnt turn on or show the apple symbol.. hope this helps

My download won't start, what to do?

My download won't start, what to do?

Close and relaunch iTunes.
Reboot the computer.
Try a different USB port and cable.

Plugin installer won't start.

I got an applet which when loaded on systems without the version 1.5 of the pluging it will prompt the user to download the latest version. It works find in 18 out of 20 computers. The last 2 are laptops and the installer won't start and the applet won't appear.
Anyone know why?

Tim,
I encountered the same problem. Are you installing on a server with
a Pentium 4? If so, the problem is with the Pentium 4.
I found the workaround posted on Intel's website. Check this url:
http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/9011824413236561-prd24.htm
The work around is that the Oracle installer uses a program called symcjit.dll and this program does not properly function on a Pentium 4. Here is Intel's workaround:
If you are installing into Windows* 2000, one workaround recommendation by Oracle for this problem is:
1. Be sure that you have installed the latest Windows 2000 Service Packs.
2. Create a temporary directory on your Intel Pentium4 processor server (e.g. \TEMP).
3. Copy the contents of the Oracle Server CD to the temp directory created in step 2.
4. Search the directory structure created in step 2 for the existence of the filename SYMCJIT.DLL.
5. Rename each copy of the SYMCJIT.DLL to SYMCJIT.OLD.
6. Run the SETUP.EXE from the \TEMP\install\win32 directory and install Oracle 8.1.x.
I hope this helps

10g Universal Installer kernel errors while installing on Solaris 5.10

Hi all,
I have been trying to install Oracle 10g on a Solaris 5.10 machine (32-bit) as per the official Oracle Documentation for a couple of days now. It seems that the Universal Installer fails it's pre-installation steps and throws up error at the following kernel parameters:
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
I have followed the Oracle Documentation which says to change the kernel parameters using the resource control facility. For this I already have a project "oracle" which the user "oracle" has been assigned to:
$ id -ap oracle
uid=100(oracle) gid=100(oinstall) groups=100(oinstall),101(dba) projid=100(oracle)
Following are the snapshots from the prctl command on the current state of the kernel paramters:
For Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295; found no entry. Failed <<<<
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
privileged 254MB - deny -
system 16.0EB max deny -
The Oracle recommended value is 4GB - I expect Universal Installer check to fail for this, so I change the parameter using the resource control facility by logging in as root in a new terminal and keeping one oracle session active.
# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 4gb -r -i project oracle
I can see that the parameter has been set correctly when I do:
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
privileged 4.00GB - deny -
system 16.0EB max deny -
For Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
$ prctl -n project.max-sem-ids -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-sem-ids
privileged 128 - deny -
system 16.8M max deny -
The Oracle recommended value is 100 - I do not expect Universal Installer check to fail at this parameter
For Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-ids -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-ids
privileged 128 - deny -
system 16.8M max deny -
The Oracle recommended value is 100 - I do not expect Universal Installer check to fail at this parameter
Also when I try to issue the command:
$ prctl -n project.max-sem-nsems -i project oracle
I get:
prctl: failed to get resource control for project.max-sem-nsems: Invalid argument
Oracle recommends I should set a value of 256.
After setting up all this I still get the following errors from Universal Installer:
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Now when I modify the kernel settings by editing the /etc/system file without even a reboot I'm can see all my Universal Installer Kernel checks as passed.
Not sure if I'm missing out some crucial step while setting up the kernel parameter using the resource control facility?
~ Somjit

It is bug in OUI.
OUI is looking at /etc/system to check the kernel parameter settings, but this file is not used (by default) in Solaris 10
It should check the kernel parameter settings using the prctl.
Check metalink note 363436.1
workaround is to
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
or as You already did, change /etc/system as well.

Oracle Universal Installer doesn't start on Windows2000 prof. with P-4 processor

Hi all,
the problem is that when I try to install Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 EE on my computer with P-4 processor with OS WIndows2000 simply nothing happens. The installation process just starts up end exits after several seconds without any error messages.
Earlier I succefully installed the same program on the Windows2000 with P-3 processor. Have anybody encountered already such problem?
thanks for any help, Igor

Thank you very much. Finally some good advice that works.
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Joseph Conti ([email protected]):
I had the same problem, here is what worked for me and why.
The root of the problem the that older versions of the 1.1.x jdk don't function properly on a P4. See:
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/download-jdk-windows.html
Notice they indicate there was a problem running Java 1.1.x on Pentium 4 machines and that JDK 1.1.8_008 has a fix for it.
The problem is specifically with a file named SYMCJIT.DLL although this isn't clear from reading the java site. The 8i installer includes this file twice, search for it. The version provided with the Orcale installer is older then the one provided with JDK 1.1.8_008 even though if you inspect the properties of these various files they all appear to be the same.
Download the JDK 1.1.8_008, find this file and replace the installer versions with it and all should be well!

Universal Installer won't run in Linux

When I try to run the Universal Installer from the hard drive in Red Hat Linux I get the following message
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /tmp/OraInstall2004-07-12_03-18-48PM/jre/bin/java. Please wait...
/tmp/OraInstall2004-07-12_03-18-48PM/jre/bin/i386/native_threads/java: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
How do get OUI to run in Linux?

We reinstalled Linux per puschitz.com's instructions (ie. load the software development options), installed j2re1.4, then modified the ini file that OUI uses to point to our jre install instead of the busted jre that ships with OUI. That finally got OUI working. Thanks to everyone that replied to my inquiry :-)

My iPod won't charge and start, t happened when i came home from camp. it puts the apple sign but it just stays there i tried lots of cords and still won't start, whats going on

My iPod won't start up when my battery died i tried charging it and it won't start. I trird various cables. It has the apple sign on it though. It turns on but stays on the apple sign. I charged it over night too... Doesn't work :(. Please help!

If you are stuck on the Apple log you may need to restore.
Before you do, try this
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears
If that doesn't help, restore:

Desktop Software installation won't start

I downloaded version 4.7 Desktop Software w/o media manager for XP SP3. When I run it, it extracts the file, and the installshield starts up in the lower-right corner of the screen. When it gets to 100%, it disappears... and then nothing else happens. No installation screen comes up. There aren't even any processes running related to the installation.
I also tried opening the self-extracting executable in Winzip and manually extracting it to a separate folder. I ran "BlackBerrySetup.exe", and exactly the same thing happened.
I tried downloading the Desktop Manager software from Verizon, as well, with the exact same results. (I'm not sure which variation of v4.7 this was, but it was over 300 MB.)
Anyone have any idea of what's going on here? Thanks for your help!
EDIT: I tried disabling McAfee VirusScan, too, to see if that was conflicting, but it didn't make any difference.
Message Edited by bdr127 on 02-24-2009 12:24 PM

I've got the exact same problem... :'( I had to flash my phone, and subsequently got an upgrade I'd been longing for... to 6.0. When I upgraded my desktop software to match my new phone upgrade, the software on my laptop JUST WOULDNT start!! The screen stays white. I've tried reinstalling from - the internet, and from -the cd, but it stays the same. I decided to try a different approach, and connected the phone to my laptop, and now I cannot find my BBMessenger app, or my APPWorld button. If I could find AppWorld, I'd probably just re-download BBM, but now they're both gone! ...What do I do? Go back to version 5 on both counts? Does that imply I'd have to flash my phone again? Just so *frustrated!!

Itunes installer won't start

Itunes 64bit installer wont start on my Windows vista/7 64 bit computers.
You double click and nothing happens. You right click and run as administrator nothing happens.
I've tried formatting the machines and re downloading it from apple.com and still nothing happens.
Anyone else having problems?

You double click and nothing happens. You right click and run as administrator nothing happens.
I've tried formatting the machines and re downloading it from apple.com and still nothing happens.
This one can be caused by the installer getting damaged on the download.
What browser are you using for the download? Does it make any difference in the performance of the installer if you user Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa)?
