Oracle 8 personal edition - Installation problem

Dear Sirs,
I want install on windows xp the database Oracle 8 Personal Edition.
I select to install only the database standard without the reply.
Start the installatin and when dependency analysis oracle give the error:
stopsrvc.vrf{78}: Type mismatch in argument '0' when calling 'contains'
stopsrvc.vrf{78}: 'STRING' expected when 'LIST' found.
Can you help me?
I know that this version of DB is not supported. But I must a test.

This combination, to my knowledge, was never certified. If I am not wrong, you need to find a Windows 98 SE/2000 setup for running this personal edition successfully.

Oracle 8i Personal Edition Installation on Windows ME

Hi,
I am assuming that Oracle 8i Personal Edition for Windows 98 will work on Windows Me too. First of all, is this assumption valid ? If yes, then I am facing a problem right at the start of the installation. After specifying the File location path (For source path, the default is 'C:\Program Files\Oracle\STAGE\products.jar'. I have not changed this. For destination path,(oracle home path), I am specifying it as 'C:\Program Files\Oracle'. After this I get an error as follows - 'There was a problem in accessing the staging area. Please make sure the specified values for 'Source' and 'Destination' are valid.'
I am stuck up at this point. Please let me know what could be the problem.

I had this same problem with this same installation on ME. After a smooth installation with PO 8, I suspected spaces in path names, since the 8i install appears to be java based. If you go into windows regedit (Win ME does not read from autoexec.bat), and search for oracle home, and all 'home' paths you have tried specifying in the initial 8i install interface, upon editing your oracle home path, you may find a space character discreetly tucked at the end of that path name. What's more, just correcting your paths through regedit may only temporarily solve your problem. Also search/correct your prompt. A quick verification of this is if, from a dos window, your prompt looks like:
C:\> _
(notice the space between the > and _ characters) I think this is either a MS bug, or an image disk install bug, and suspect, after reading of your same problem, it comes from MS.
Hope this helps,
KJ

Oracle 9i Personal Edition Download Problem

Hi there,
I'm currently attempting to download Oracle 9i Personal Edition, however upon clicking on the file link, I'm being constantly presented with the login page (even after having logged in). I checked my browser (MSIE 6) and cookies are enabled. Trying the same procedure for other files yielded the same unsuccessful results. Can anyone help please (my username is [email protected]). Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Johan

Download it again. I had the same problem the first time. It happens when there is a problem in your internet connection. The second time I downloaded it, it worked fine.
Hope this helps.

Oracle Personal Edition installation on Windows ME

Cannot install Oracle 8i (Personal Edition) 8.1.7 on Windows 98 (Second Edition)

Hello,
I am unable to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on my Windows 98 (Second Edition) system. I have selected "typical" install. All the files get installed (100% complete) but then the Configuration Tool install phase fails to complete when installing Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. I get the following error message :
java.lang.NullpointerException
at DropOracle.QueryDB(Compiled Code)
at DeletePanel.InitControls(Compiled Code)
at DeletePanel.<init>(DeletePanel.java:100)
at DBCreateWizard.<init>(DBCReateWizard.java:569)
at DBCreateWizard.main(DBCreateWizard.java:1422)
The system just hangs with the "in progress" message.
The previous step -
The Net8 Configuration Assistant install completes successfully
(return code 0).
If anyone can help me resolve my problem it will be greatly appreciated.
Or if you could tell me which Oracle email address (or phone number) I should address my problem to it will be appreciated. I do NOT have a Oracle Support Licence (I only purchased the evaluation CD pack).
I have installed Java 2 (JDK 1.3) in a separate directory - but I understand Oracle 8i has its own version of JRE 1.1... in its own subdirectory structure ... so my JDK 1.3 should not be interfering with the Oracle 8i installation programs.
Many thanks in advance.

What is your RAM? I ran into the same problem, even though I had more RAM then required. I had to shutdown everything, make a very basic wallpaper that did not put too much strain on the system, then it installed.
Unistall Oracle, remove all the remaining files and the directory by hand. Also you have to remove any trace of Oracle in your regedit. Check if path to Oracle is still in autoexec.bat; if it is delete it - the Oracle path not the file. Reboot and then do Alt-Ctr-Del and turn off all the unecessary programs and try installing it again.
Hope it works.

Oracle 9i Personal Edition for Windows 98

I am having problems installing Oracle 9i Personal Edition for Windows 98. The install is hanging at the same place every time.
The installer works fine, but at the end of the install, when the Oracle Configuration Assistant tries to create the new database, the system "hangs". On a Gateway PC, there were fatal exceptions about VxD and vVMM. I finally had to power down the PC. I tried again and got the same error.
On a Compaq PC, when the Configuration Assistant started, it tried to access my floppy drive and opened a console window with "Abort, Retry, Fail". I chose "Abort" and the configuration continued, but the system hung when trying to start the Oracle instance.
I am evaluating different software packages and need to install Oracle in order to test them.
Thanks for your help.

if you go to iSelfSchooling.com, you will find Oracle Installation Issues on Windows. It gives a list of "default usernames and passwords" and also states that you can leave the HOST name blank to get at the starter database.
