Error while Installing Oracle 8i on windows 2000 box

When trying to install the Oracle 8i software, I get the following error from the event log:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( PctSpk ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: PctSpk error: 1063, StartServiceCtrlDispatcher failed..
If anyone have suggestions to solving my problems, please advise.
Note: I've started all possible services that I could think of.

Definitely 8i won't work with windows vista. 10gR2 (10.2.0.1.0) was not certified to run against vista, Oracle had to release an specific 10.2.0.3.0 for Windows Vista. Previous releases are Not supported at all and there are no plans to support them.
If you are planning to use 8i on your Vista OS, it won't be possible, but you can create a Virtual Machine with a supported guest OS for 8i, Windows 2000 is certified for 8i, Windows XP is not supported for 8i, but I have been working with it for years without any issue (this is not a suggestion for production environments).

    It might be possible that I'm using wrong installation source for the same. It would be nice if anyone can lemme know which link from http://download.oracle.com to access for Oracle 10g R2 source on Windows 7?
    Can anyone pls help me out to solve this query??
    Thanks in anticipation.

    At which point did it occur to you that Windows 7 was developed and released after any version of Oracle 10g and was both uncertified and untested on this platform? ;)
    10g will fall off the cliff into desupport in just two weeks. Toss it out and install 11.2.0.1.

  • JRE Error : while Install oracle 10gR2 on Windows Server 2003

    Hello,
    I am trying to install a Oracle 10gR2 on windows server 2003.
    I have unziped the files and when I run the oui.exe it gives the below error:
    cannot find any matches for wildcard specification "../stage/components/oracle.swd.jre/1.5.0.0./1/DataFiles/*.jar
    Error : JRE missing in Scratch Path
    I tried changing the oraparmaini file but it did not allow to make any changes.
    Not sure if its looking for any particular java files.
    What should i edit ,to specify the java location.
    Thanks

    What exactly did you unzip? This error occurs if there are several zip-files extracted to different target locations. But - if I remember correctly - 10gR2 database is only one zip-file, so you should not face this issue. JRE for OUI is part of the downloaded software,so you don't need to specify a location for JRE, OUI knows where to find this.

  • Error while Installing Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server

    I downloaded "Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal Edition for Windows NT/2000/XP" and installed the personal edition. It did not install successfully and gave this error message:
    Error while Installing Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server
    The specified key was not found while trying to GetValue
    - stop installation of all products.
    - stop installation of this component only.
    The installation of Oracle 9i Database was unsuccessful
    The Integration tools and client installed just fine from the same download. Why didn't the database install successfully? All the other components seemed to install just fine and the database appeared to be created - but I could not open it and there was not start menu option for DBA Studio.
    I am running Windows 2000 professional with Service Pack 3 on a 2 GHz Pentium4 machine with 512MB Rambus RAM, 32bit color graphics ATI All-in-Wonder card, about 40GB of disk space, a local peer-to-peer network via cat5 cable to another Win2k P3 machine, and Creative Soundblaster Audigy card. Do I need to adjust any network settings? Would it help or hinder if I installed MS IIS? WinNT has a Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) but Win2k has COM+ instead; does that make a difference in terms of the installer looking for MTS? Do I need to configure COM+ in some special way / change settings?

    HI Salman,
    I am doing the following.
    1. I am installing Oracle 10.2.01 Database(Not Client) on my windows Xp laptop. While installation i Choose the custom option and Check the Oracle Windows Interface. In that i check the "Install Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction server" checkbox. The installation goes on fine till 99% and when it tries to install the
    Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction server it gives an error saying that "Microsoft Transaction server" was not found on the system.
    I had previously installed the same on my laptop and it was working fine. but after uninstallation when i try to re install i get this problem.
    If i go to the services.msc option in windows i still see the OracleMTSRecoveryService option even when i have uninstalled oracle. But when i try to start the services i get the following error
    Could Not start the OracleMTSRecoveryService on the local computer.
    Error 3: The system cannot find the file specified.
    Any help on how to resolve this issue will be highly appreciated

  • Error while installing oracle 9i(9.2.0.1.0) on Red Hat Linux 8

    hi
    friends,
    i'm getting error while installing Oracle 9i(9.2.0.1.0). this eror was came when linking process was going on. Error is as follow.
    "Error in invoking target install of make file"
    /home/oracle/product/9.2.0/plsql/lib/ins_plsql.mk"
    /home/oracle/product/9.2.0/precomp/lib/ins_precomp.mk"

    /home/oracle/product/9.2.0/network/lib/ins_oemagent.mk"
    pls. help me what to do?
    Dharmesh

    See this :
    I saw this error only in connection with Oracle 9i (9.0.1) installation.
    Edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh and change the following line (people have sent me emails pointing out that this also works for Mandrake 8.1 and Mandrake 8.2):
    LD_SELF_CONTAINED="-z defs"
    to read:
    LD_SELF_CONTAINED=""
    Then run the script $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh as the user "oracle" and not as the user "root". Also make sure you have all the Oracle environments set! (I got so many emails because people were not doing this)
    $ su - oracle
    $ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh
    Created /opt/oracle/product/9.0.1/lib/libclntst9.a
    $
    After that hit retry in the error popup. This always worked for me.
    (I was told that this also works for SuSE 8.0.)
    Here is Oracle's official solution for Oracle 9iR1 or 9iR1 iAS on RedHat 2.1 Advanced Server:

  • Error While Installing Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Win 2003 Server

    Hi,
    I am getting following error while installing Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Windos Server 2003-
    ORA-12546: TNS: Permission Denied.
    Above error pops-up during database configuration phase. Oracle docs says- "Acquire necessary privileges and try again." But I am installing as administrator.
    Thanks in advance,

    I can't tell you why this error is occurring but you are installing a desupported version of the Oracle database that may well not be supported on your version of the o/s.
    Check the support matrix and metalink and see if you can install a supported product such as 10.2.
