Burning and installing 8i Personal Edition after download

Hello,
I downloaded the Orcale DB 8i Personal Edition (nt817personal.zip) for WinNT/2000/XP.
I extracted the zip file and burned the contents on a CD ROM. During the burn software file scan, I got a message saying that the directory depth exceeds the ISO limt (8), and it could cause problems reading it on old operating systems. Since I intended to install it on Win2000, I chose to continue.
When I tried to install from the CD, the installaion stopped with no error during "analyzing dependencies" stage.
I copied all the files from the CD to the HD and tried again, but encountered the same problem.
Only after I downloaded the original file again, extracted it localy and installed from the HD did the installation go through.
I would like to have a CD copy of the installation file, what should I do ? should I burn the zipped file and extract it locally each time I need to install ?
BTW - I used EZ CD Creator to burn the CD.
Thanks,
Flash

The problem is that Personal 8i isn4t compatible with Windows ME. But don4t worry. There4s a solution. Before you install it, modify the WIN.INI file, in the section [Compatibility95], adding Jrew=0x00080000. Reboot your system and try to install it again. Good luck.

I am attempting to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on a PC with Windows ME, 192MB RAM, and 15GB of HD space. The installation is on my D:\ partition and I simply cannot get past specifying a valid "destination" directory. The default destination directory specified by Oracle Installer does not work. I keep getting an error message telling me to check the path. I have tried changing it with no success. I leave the "source" directory as-is by default.
Does the Oracle Home need to be installed on the same drive that the OS directory is located on (C:\)? What am I doing wrong? Are there any pre-installation steps?
Thanks for any help!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

  • How do I re-download and install Acrobat 11 Standard - after I wiped my system installing Win 8?

    How do I re-download and install Acrobat 11 Standard - after I wiped my system installing Win 8?

    There is no trial version for Acrobat XI Standard. What Leonard suggested would work for Pro however.
    If you purchased Acrobat via a download from Adobe, you can re-download by going to the "My Orders" page on Adobe's web site (https://www.adobe.com/account/account-orders.html). You would also find you serial number there. If this does not work, you can download the software from here: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X - if you've registered your software, you can lookup your serial number here: https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html#MyProductsHeader

  • Installing Oracle8i Personal Edition, Version 8.1.5 on Windows XP Pro

    I am trying to install Oracle8i Personal Edition, Version 8.1.5 on my system with Windows XP Pro on it.
    After copying the CD content to the Hard Drive and renaming symcjit.dll to symcjit_back.dll, and running the setup from the oracle folder on the C drive, I am having the following error message:
    " Invalid srttaging area. There are no top level components for Windows NT available for install from this satging area".
    Any clue?

    You may want to search the database forums or All forums categories first to see if this question is already answered. I see at least 6 threads in the database category level and 21 threads when I searched all categories for "invalid staging area."

    Just found this on the be.comp forum: Will try it tonight.
    Oracle 8.1.5 Personal Edition
    Oracle does not support installing version 8.1.5 PE into
    Windows Millennium.
    As an unsupported workaround, you may add the following line
    to the [compatibility95] section of win.ini prior to
    installation:
    Jrew=0x00080000
    After setup is complete, Oracle will recommend a reboot.
    There is one additional step necessary prior to reboot;
    Oracle may add a non-standard path statement to the
    autoexec.bat file. Please modify this SET PATH
    statement to use short-filenames if you find a quoted
    LFN string represented as part of the path. You can
    confirm that the path was merged successfully into the
    registry after reboot by examining the PATH variable
    in the registry at
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Environment
    Symptoms of a missing Oracle path statement in the registry are that Net8 Easy Config will not launch.

  • Installing 8i Personal Edition on WindowsXP Professional

    I have an IBM Thinkpad A20m which was running Win NT Service
    Pack 6.0 and Oracle 8i Personal Edition. I was able to run the
    sample database without any problems until I installed Windows
    XP Pro. After this, I was getting all types of errors including;
    ORA-01034
    ORA-12560 TNS:protocol adapter error
    ORA-27101 shared memory realm does not exist
    I tried to uninstall & reinstall several times with no luck!!
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    Also, I notices that the version I had previously
    included "Partitioning and Java Options" but the new install
    did not... Is this an option I forgot??

  • De-installing Oracle personal edition

    I've installed Oracle Personal Edition 8.1.6 on a D: drive of an NT 4.0 machine. As it turned out, I really needed to install it on C:. So, I attempted to de-install it from D:. When done with the de-installation using the Universal Installer (and it told me that all the products were removed), I rebooted and proceeded to install on the C: drive. The installer told me that there still was an instance on the D: drive. I attempted to remove all Oracle-related keys from the registry, with no success. There are two services still on the system (listener and the one for the instance). How do I cleanly delete all traces of the previous install?

    first you had to stop all oracle stuff of services then you have to de-install the things. Oracle has one disadvantage is if you remove all stuff from regedit then also it'll give some problem for installation.
    So better you install o.s. again do the installation it'll work prefectly.
    cheers then.

    From TS3694:
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, and 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • Installing oracle8i personal edition on windows ME

    I am having a problem installing oracle8i personal edition on windows ME.
    The error on running the setup.exe was "jrew has caused an error in javai.dll. " A fix was reported on the internet for this , which is adding a line ": Jrew=0x00080000" to compatibility95 in the win.ini file. Appaarently this fix worked for few people, but it is making no difference for me.

    New to the Apple and I want to set up a user account that will not delete the guest users files and allow and preserve their personal settings after log out. Is this possible?

    The built-in guest user account will not do this. Simply create a new standard account and call it "Guest" or "Guest Users" or whatever you like.
    Go to System Preferences > Users& Groups, click "+" to make a new account.

    i just update my ipad 3 software to ios 8 , on the setting it was icon down to Cellular called Personal Hotspot , and i lost personal hotspot after updating  , how or where i can find it again ?

    Hello SHenoudabak,
    It sounds like you are trying to find the Personal Hotspot option in your Settings. You were close. The option is directly under Settings, and not in the Cellular section of Settings:
    Go to Settings > Personal Hotspot
    Personal Hotspot - iPhone
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
