Can't install 11g client on Windows 7 64 bit

I downloaded both of the following files.
win32_11gR2_client.zip
win64_11gR2_client.zip
I unzipped them to
c:\OracleClient32
c:\OracleClient64
If I attempt to run setup.exe from either location, I get nothing. And I mean nothing.
Nothing in the event log, nothing in the %temp% dir. No window pops up. Nothing.
I've read the documentation, and I can't find anything wrong.
Here's my system info:
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit SP1
Intel Core i5 2.5Ghz
8GB Ram
232 GB free on C:
16 GB Swap
What is going on? I've never had so much trouble installing something before!

Wow, I found the issue.
It was so simple, it's just astounding.
My (failed) install steps:
1. download zip file to c:\OracleClient32
2. double click zip file, it opens in Winzip
3. drag and drop files from winzip interface to c:\OracleClient32 folder
4. double click setup.exe, nothing happens.
My (working) install steps:
1. download zip file to c:\OracleClient32
2. double click zip file, it opens in Winzip
3. click "extract" in winzip, choose c:\OracleClient32 as the target
4. double click setup.exe, it works perfectly
For some reason, Winzip loses the folder structure when you drag and drop, but not when you extract.
I don't even know why my corporate image has Winzip installed...isn't it pretty much useless now? I know that I'll never use it again.
I found the error by downloading Process Monitor and filtering for "setup.exe". It was encountering an error when looking for the c:\OracleClient32\Install folder.
It would be nice if setup would actually display error messages instead of silently ignoring them and wasting my time.
This is officially the longest it has ever taken for me to install anything. In fact, this took me one day longer than the first time I compiled and installed the linux kernel from source.

CAN'T INSTALL ITUNES 9 ON WINDOWS VISTA 64-BIT OS

Hey guys!
I'm having a reaaaallly hard time installing iTunes on my Windows Vista 64-bit OS. Everytime I think it's about to finish installing, it shows me this message:
What does it mean?? Can someone PLEASE help me, I haven't had music on my iPhone for 4 weeks now!

Curses ... you did everything right by providing the screenshot, thanks. But we really need to see the error message number that shows up after the "HRESULT" bit for one of those, and it's deciding not show us that.
Okay ... people who get these error messages for iTunes installs typically are also getting Windows updates failures too. So we'll try to work out what the iTunes/Updates issue is by checking your Update history.
Go into your Windows Update and click "Update History". Have updates been failing for you recently? If so, doubleclick on each failure to bring up a small window showing some info about the failure.
What error message codes are you getting for the Windows Updates failures? (For example, 0x8007000B, or something else?)

Issues installing 11g client on windows 2008 R2

Hi I am a windows admin and have been asked to install oracle SQL developer and oracle 11g client on a windows 2008 R2 server.
However it will not work.
After having issues and having to manually set environment variables and creating the folder path network\admin for the ora files, we still get the following issue
"IO Error: The network adapter could not establish the connection"
We have tried both 64 and 32bit versions.
Any help here would be very much appreciated.
Paul.

Thanks for everyones response to this.
First issue was the server we were installing this on is not on the domain and doesnt point to our internal DNS. Hence it couldnt resolve the Host name in the tns file.
I added this to the hosts file, then we had to modify some of the registry entries and path manually.
We were then able to succesfully make a connection.

How can I install Siebel Client in Windows XP or Windows 7?

Hi,
I try to install Siebel Client 8.11 in Windows XP, choosing SQL Server for server database,but it requires SNAC. And I try again in win 7, the result is same as xp.
How can I do for this?
Thanks

Can you tell me what 'SNAC' is?
If you can install the client by selecting a different DB platform, you can go into the CFG file and set the connection details appropriately, after installation.

How to remove Oracle 11g client from Windows 7 64-bit workstation.

When the Oracle 11g client was installed on a Windows 7 64-bit workstation, it was mistakenly installed as "Administrator".
We do not wish to do this; instead we want to install this client as a user with Administrator privileges.
PLEASE NOTE THE DIFFERENCE BEFORE REPLYING TO THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!
When I try to install the client, I get a message sending me to this directory:
F:\app\Administrator
I do not know why this message is produced; the directory it refers to DOES NOT EXIST.
My suspicion is that there extraneous entries in the registry which have not been removed; the obvious ones such as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE have been deleted.
What I believe I need is a COMPLETE list of entries placed in the registry upon installation of the Oracle client.
The obvious problem is that the Uninstall feature of Oracle client does NOT FULLY remove all of the above entries.
As a side note, the Oracle client software installation needs to be revamped to detect situations such as this and provide a course of corrective actions.

I've not done it yet with 11g, but prior editions, there are 3 things that have to be done to eradicate an oracle client installation from Windows, after running uninstaller
1) delete the registry key HKLM\software\oracle
2) delete the ORACLE_HOME directory from the file system
3) delete c:\Program Files\oracle

Can't install Solution Center on Windows 7 64 bit to PSC 5140 printer shared from XP computer.

I recenntly got a laptop with Windows 7 64 bit installed. I have a HP Photosmart C5140 All-in-One printer installed on a Windows XP desktop as a shared printer. I am able to print to the printer from my Windows 7 laptop without a problem. I want to install the HP Solution Center app so I can scan, etc from my laptop. When I try to install the Solution Center on the laptop, it starts the install process fine but then gets to the dialog where it wants to know how the printer is connected. The only options it provides is direct connected (USB) or network connected. I choose the network connected option. It asks for the IP address of the printer which isn't available since it is installed on the XP machine using USB. I have tried using the standard MIcrosoft fully qualified network name (can't remember the technical term right now) for the XP computer where the printer is installed (i.e. \\computer_name\printer_name) but it still won't allow me to continue with the Solution Center install. Possibly this type of install is not possible? I thought I did something similar a year or so ago with a Vista laptop I had.

More than likely, you are receiving the access denied error because there may not be a HomeGroup in place.
To handle networks securely with Windows 7, Microsoft took a different approach. A HomeGroup essentially creates a trust among all the devices in that home group. If a device is not in that homegroup, then that system will essentially be denied access.

HELP Can't install itunes 9 on Windows 7 64-Bit

I've just bought an iPod Touch and can't install itunes on my notebook. (Which means I can't use my iPod)
I've downloaded itunes for 64bit, but each time I double-click it, a window opens and say "The windows installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running windows in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."
and it says the itunes installer encountered an error before itunes completely installed.
I went to Asus service center, but they said that itunes is not compatible with the new Windows 7 and I should bring it to Apple iBox instead.
I've gone to 2 iBox and they don't understand the problem at all, and they didn't find any way to help me.
This is so disappointing. I can't even find an email address to contact Apple directly.
Help is so much appreciated. Thanks..

iTunes 9.0.x is certainly compatible with Win7 64 bit since I use that exact setup on 3 different PCs. Two suggestions for your installation problems:
1)Download a new copy of the 64 bit installer from Apple then, instead of just running the itunes installer right click on it and try 'run as adminstrator'. In my experience that clears up a world of problems with program installation in Win7 and Vista. This is necessary even if you're already logged in as an administrator.
2) Try the previous version of iTunes (9.0.3). You can get a copy at http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php?old_itunes=54 again right click on the file and "run as administrator"
Good luck, hope this helps.

How can I install Apple BootCamp with Windows 8 32-bit then upgrade to 64-bit?

I am trying to install Apple Boot Camp on a MacBook Pro 13-inch, bought in early 2013. I have Windows 8 pro 32-bit install package and an install package for 64-bit upgrade.
I received my Windows licenses for free (because I work for a nonprofit). I only have the Windows 8 Pro 32-bit install package. However, I also have the install package to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro 64-bit. The problem is that I can't install the Windows 8 Pro 32-bit on BootCamp to start and then upgrade.
Is there a way to install Windows 8 Pro 32-bit on Apple BootCamp and then upgrade to 64-bit?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

bootcamp don't have any drivers for 32bit win8 I believe
your best bet is to use virtualbox or another of the virtual machine software and install it there

I can not install iTunes on my windows 8 64 bit laptop

I have been trying to install iTunes 11.01 on my windows 8 64-bit laptop and I keep getting the same error "Microsoft .VC80.CRT type="win32". version="8.0.50727,6195", public Key Token="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b, processor Architecture'+x86'". I have tried using different links and the troubleshoot compatibility and nothing still. I have tried downloading other versions of iTunes but still nothing. I do not know what else to do, please HELP!!!!

Not Windows RT then . When you say "I've tried both" do you mean the 32- and 64-bit installers for Windows? In the first instance you should go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ - this should detect the version of Windows you are running and offer the correct installer. It'll look like this:
Click on Download Now - this will download the correct installer for you to run and install iTunes.
There is, however, some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded. As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe
of which you'll need the second one. See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation; you may also need to consult HP's helpdesk as the error message you report may be symptomatic of a Windows issue, not an iTunes one.

Can't install Captivate 3 on Windows 7 64-bit machine

When I try to install it using the installer (even setup calls the installer) it looks like it's installing until the very end. Then it suddenly rolls back it's changes and ends up not installing the software (btw, this does not have an issue on a Windows 7 32-bit machine). Has anyone else run into this issue? If so, how did you get around it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Thanks for the response. I figured out what the issue was. Even though I was saying "runas Administrator" for some reason it still wasn't able to run. I then logged on as Administrator and was able to install it without issue. The only problem I have now is it won't let me activate the product because it wants me to deinstall it from the pc it was running on and that pc is about to die and won't let me deinstall it from there (it's a very very old xp pro desktop). Any ideas?

Can't Install bluetooth driver on Windows 8 64 bit. MSI GE620DX

I cant install the provided Windows 8 64bit Bluetooth driver from the MSI download page. Tried many times, Reboot Uninstall current driver, install again, and ETC.
I had sent a question to MSI already, it's been a month already since I sent a ticket and I still got no update or fix from MSI Support.
Does MSI support usually take this long to provide fix or reply for this kind of issues? I felt disregarded cause I haven't got any reply aside from the advise to download the driver on the MSI download page; which is the driver that is not working. I've already sent them a message that It won't work. -_-
The Bluetooth function of my Laptop is useless as of now.
Does anyone here encountered a Driver problem similar to mine?

I finally got this fixed. I uninstalled all Bluetooth related drivers and programs using Ccleaner and clean all its traces in the registry as well, rebooted and tried installing the provided Bluetooth driver provided on the MSI Download Page and succeeded.

Error DW030 - Can't install Adobe Flash Builder Windows 7 32 bits

Hey everyone!
Could someone help me with this error?
Here is the log:
Exit Code: 6 Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example, ERROR: DW030 ... -------------------------------------- Summary -------------------------------------- - 0 fatal error(s), 1 error(s) ----------- Payload: Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 4.7.0.0 {8376E54D-7232-4443-A075-7938ABA2DB1A} ----------- ERROR: DW030: Custom Action for payload Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 4.7.0.0 {8376E54D-7232-4443-A075-7938ABA2DB1A} returned error.

Now managed to get Flash Builder installed. Turns out it was my computer user name that caused the problem. I had a special character in my name ( the special character was ' ). I set up another user account without any special characters and installed Flash Builder using that user account and it installed without any problems.Hope this info helps.
