Can I install Oracle XE on a system that has the Instant Client installed?

Hello,
After installing Oracle XE (Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2 for Windows x64) on my Windows 8.1 64-bit system, I can not connect to the "Get started" url (http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950).
The output of "Start database" shows:
The OracleXETNSListener-service is being started.
The OracleServiceXE-service is being started.
The OracleServiceXE-service has been started.
The OracleXETNSListener service refuses to start. Could the presence of the Instant Client have something to do with this?
The Instant Client is installed in C:\Apps\Oracle, with a tnsnames.ora in C:\Apps\Oracle\network\admin.
Oracle XE is installed in C:\Apps\OracleXE.
There is a system wide environment variable ORACLE_HOME, pointing to C:\Apps\Oracle.
In the registry under HKLM\Oracle there are keys KEY_odac, KEY_ORACLE_HOME, KEY_XE, ODP.NET and OracleMTSRecoveryService.
HKLM\Oracle\KEY_ORACLE_HOME\ORACLE_HOME = C:\Apps\Oracle
HKLM\Oracle\KEY_XE\ORACLE_HOME = C:\Apps\OracleXE\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server
Thanks,
George

XE was the last installed Oracle product. I installed it on my development laptop, so I can use an Oracle database when not connected to the company network.
The instant client was broken by the XE install. Uninstalling Xe fixes this, even without a reboot.
The output of tnsping is:
TNS Ping Utility for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production on 21-APR-2015 07:18:00

    You'll have to watch the video and buy a few tools to extract the driive.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
    Then use something like this to connect to the other Mac or PC with MacDrive installed.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/U3NVSPATA/
    You also can get the same adapter elsewhere online for as low as $12 I've seen.
    Likely it's a USB 2,1 which your Mac's can only accept USB 2,1 anyway, no need to pay more for a USB 3 unless you want too.
    No compensation for site or product mention
    You likely should be having a professional or Apple tech attempt to bypass the firmware password if you forgot it, it's the best way to go about things.
    Just because the Mac has a spinning wheel gray screen at boot doesn't mean it's ruined, you just need to bypass the firmware password and then from there fix the machine's cause for not booting, which is likely a software issue from a third party kernel extension file.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    You should know that opening the iMac could likely ruin it and will ruin any warranty or AppleCare, and if it's a Early 2011 model or later you can't replace the hard drive yourself as Apple has proprietary software installed on the drive that needs to "talk" to OS X to control the fans speeds.
    Good Luck.

  • Problems installing Leopard 10.5 on eMac that has 10.3.9 installed

    Hi, my sisters eMac (1Ghz, 512MB Ram, and 500 GB HDD), is unable to install Leopard. The problem is that once the machine reboots, as per the Leopard installer screen that asks you to reboot, the machine is stuck on the grey screen with the apple logo. She left it like that all night, in the hope that it would continue, but no luck.
    Any thoughts, we've tried forcing it to boot to DVD by holding down the option key at restart, but that isn't doing anything either.

    IF you have a repair disc run a repair disc and optimizer..sounds like you have a conflict. If you don't have a repair disc, there is one built in..do a search.Your files need a tune -up. Once you have cleaned up your hard drive and restarted. then insert the CD and follow the instructions..don't try any fancy custom installations.....You need install on a perfectly healthy hard drive.

    P. S. If you can't figure out what I am talking about..reinstall your original OS this will surely clean up your hard drive...

  • Can I install SAPDings on Windows system that doesn't have SAPGUI installed

    I am working on a Windows system that has never had SAPGUI installed and am dealing with a PowerPoint file that was created on a system that did have SAPGUI, and the author used some SAPDIngs characters but did not embed the TT fonts in the PPT file that he sent me.
    How can I get those fonts installed on my system without installing SAPGUI?  Is it possible at all?  I have tried to email the TT font file from another system that does have the fonts, but neither Outlook nor Lotus Notes appears to want to let me attach the file to an email.
    Any suggestions from the group?

    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. Otherwise you can "deauthorize all" from your iTunes account.
    Open iTunes on a computer
    From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
    Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    Under "Computer Authorizations" select "Deauthorize All".
    Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only use this feature once per year.
    After you "deauthorize all" your authorized computers, authorize each one as required.

  • Backup/restore a system that has 2 OS installed

    Hello Guys
    I have 2 OS –both are windows XP- installed on a machine on 2 different partitions
    Using Rescue and Recovery, I created a backup inside OS number 1,
    I tried to restore the backup, but unfortunately, Rescue and Recovery restored only one OS(and didn’t restore the second OS)
     So my question is:  how can I backup/restore a system that has 2 OS installed
    Thanks

    Dear Sir
    I am a graduate in computer science engineering .For
    the past few months I had training in java. There is
    serious doubt that has arisen & no body in my contact
    has the answer for it.Sounds interesting.
    My doubt is that can JVM be installed in a system that
    has only OS- DOSOS-DOS ? Is that a variant on the microsoft DOS (like e.g. DrDOS).
    1)     If yes then
    ?     Why cant sun Microsystems starts developing a well
    secure OS on that base like Microsoft did.They did, only microsoft failed and Sun worked it out nicely with Solaris (aka SunOS) which is a UNIX variant (which DOS isn't).
    ?     Can applet be run (or developed) in a purely DOS
    based systemYou can develop them, just not run or compile them ;-)
    >
    2)     If not then
    ?     Why java is said to be platform independent.Because it is, the specs are out there, you're free to write a JVM for DOS (I'd suggest version 6.22).
    Hope that my simple doubts will be cleared through tech personals.If those are doubts about a language I'd see you need to straighten out your prioritiets.
    Tech personals? Are those personal advertisements for technical dating or something?

    Thanking you

    No problem.
    p.s. to other guy that posted that IBM wrote MsDOS (aka DOS, the most widely spread version, which I'm assuming we're talking about), no they didn't, microsoft did, that's where Bill Gates got his money with.
    IBM had it's own variant and was pushing the PC hardware market (the ancestors of our pc's were either IBM or IBM compatible).

  • Installing and using the instant client

    Hi, we are having some troubles with understanding how to use the instant client.
    We are using a windows client, connection to our Oracle database via odbc, so we can make some staticstics.
    We used to use the full oracle client 8 install, but when that gave us some troubles, so we wantedto switch to a newer release, and saw that there was an instant client. Thinking that i didnt need to install the full oracle client i downloaded the basic package and the odbc addon.
    I unzipped the two archieves in c:\oracleodbc on a clean computer.
    I added the c:\oracleodbc path to the %path%
    I added TNS_ADMIN system variable pointing to c:\oracleodbc
    i ran the odbc_install.exe program.
    I would now think that i could access the oracle database via odbc without having to install the full oracleclient, but it does not work.
    When i try to add a odbc connection in microsoft odbc manager i get the following error when i choose the oracle odbc driver:
    "The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient10_2 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126"
    When i click ok to that i get a new error window with the title: "Driver's ConfigDSN, ConfigDriver, or ConfigTranslator failed" and the error text:
    "Could not load the setup or translator library"
    I was not planning to use any TNS files, but just use the quickconnect string, to connect to the right oracle service.
    Do i still need to install the full client for it to work or what ?
    Hope someone can help out.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm replying to an old thread, but did any of you ever got this resolved?
    I've got a fresh Windows 2003 Server install, from which I'd need to establish an ODBC connection to an Oracle database.
    I've downloaded Instant Client Basic and ODBC add-on, unzipped them into D:\oracle\instantclient10_2\ , added the path into PATH, TNS_ADMIN and ORACLE_HOME environment variables and run the odbc_install.exe successfully.
    Trying to create an ODBC connection (System DSN) results in "The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient10_2 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126".
    I don't have MFC71 on the server and I couldn't figure out where to get those - I won't install MS Visual .NET just for this. MFC42 appears to be included in the OS.
    Where can I get an older version of Instant Client instead?

  • Automation scripts for Instant client install\ add TNS entry

    Guys,
    I'm trying to develop an VB application,which uses data from an Oracle server residing in my neighbour's system.
    My system doesn't have oracle client installed.
    So, I've made use of Oracle Instant Client package-OCBC.
    Now, I'm looking for an automation script that would do the following in order
    1)Uzip the instant client into a directory. (say C:\ondemand\instantclient)
    2)Add this directory into the PATH environment variable
    3)Set up Service Names with tnsnames.ora ie. Create a TNSNAMES.ORA file to configure my Oracle instance connection.
    4)Set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to be the path to the tnsnames.ora
    Can someone help me out with automated scripts?
    Thanks,
    Bhagat

    Don't worry. I've solved it.
    One of the files I was using stated: Always set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable or registry setting to the full path of the tnsnames.ora file.
    I took that to mean including the "tnsnames.ora". It doesn't. It really does mean just the PATH part.
    However, with this corrected, I got the pulldown populated. But with only the first part of the name, from the tnsnames.ora file. tnsnames.ora had mydb.<domain>.com. The pulldown only had mydb. Manually adding the .<domain>.com to it worked.
    Now on to the next problem. <GRIN>
    Cheers,
    Eddie

  • Why can I not open a attachment that has the suffix .mpe?

    A friend and I both received an email with an attachment that has the suffix .mpe.  When I try to open it I get a message that Quicktime can not open the file- that it is in a format that Quicktime doesn't understand.  I wrote both the friend and the sender and they say their machines open the attachment.  If I drag the attachment to my desktop and change the suffix to .mpeg I can open the file.
    I don't know if it is relevant, but they are both using mountain lion and I am using snow leopard.
    Is there a logical explanation for my inability to open the .mpe attachment?
    Thanks
    Dave

    I am hesitant to believe that the reason they can open the file and I can't is because they are running mountain lion and I am not.  It would seem to me that Quicktime is Quicktime no matter which operating system one is using, or...?
    Incorrect. It's not so much the system itself, but rather the QT structure embedded in the OS together with the different player apps. They are probably running QT X v10.2 (603.6) while you are likely using QT X v10.0 (131) and there have been some major changes between the two during the interim. E.g., try playing "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 content to see the difference in audio support between OS v10.6.8/QT X v10.0 and OS v10.8.2/QT X v10.2. Another major change was the disabling of legacy codecs—they're probably still enabled on your system but disabled by default on their systems unless they re-enabled them. To say the least, QT is constantly changing and that is why so many people are here trying to find out why something works or doesn't work in one instance but is totally backwards following a certain OS upgrade or app/security update.
