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.

  • Installing Oracle 10g personal edition

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Oracle 10g personal edition on ubuntu. After installing I ran the following command: /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure and by mistake gave a port number for HTTP port on which already another server is running. But now I am unable to change my configuration settings.
    Everytime I give the command /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure it says "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition is already configured"
    How can I change the configuration setting now? Do I need to reinstall it? Would be a great help, if somebody can tell me.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I think that Feedbak forum is not the best place for this problem.
    You should ask this into
    => Installation Forum : Database Installation
    or
    => Linux Forum : Generic Linux
    Anyway, you can find an install doc here :

  • Cannot install Oracle BAM with Oracle XE 10.2.0.1

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install Oracle BAM 10.1.3.3.0 on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition. I've previously installed Oracle DB XE edition (10.2.0.1.0) on another machine and checked all the software requirements.
    I have no problem with the first installation step regarding Oracle Client for BAM. When relaunching setup.exe for installing the other components, I have the following error : "Database version at parameter#1, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1521 should be 9.2.0.7 or higher, 10.1.0.5 or higher, 10.2.0.2 or higher."
    However, according to the installation's guide:
    "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Oracle Database XE) version 10.2.0.1.0 may
    be used for non-production purposes. See the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition
    Web site for more information "
    So here is my question: Is Oracle BAM  10.1.3.3.0 really compatible with Oracle XE?
    If so, any suggestions to resolve this issue will be most appreciated!
    Thanks.

    No Oracle XE is not compatible due to its version. Oracle BAM need 10.2.0.2 or higher as it comes in the POP Up while installation.
    I also faced the same issue. Unfortuntely I could not find any version upgrade also for Oracle XE.
    I hope this help!

  • Cannot install Oracle 10g rel. 2 on Win Server 2003 SB

    Hello,
    I cannot install Oracle 10g rel. 2 on Win Server 2003 SB, because when the the configuration assistant installer try to copy the db files, it stop with the following errors:
    ORA-24324 Service Handle not Initialized
    ORA-24323 Value not authorized
    ORA-28547 Connection to Server failed probable Oracle NET ADMIN errorRegards
    Siyavuş

    You should be connected as a local administrator to perform the install process.
    Try to perfom a software only install, then once you make sure the installation was successful, launch the dbca. It is important for you to use a local account to perform the installation and db setup process, otherwise, if you have authentication problems, even if you comment the authentication line at the sqlnet.ora file you will be facing issues that will make fail the assistant, since it is designed to work assuming the user is OS authenticated.

  • Installing Oracle BI EE 10.1.3.3 on Windows XP

    Oracle Business Intelligence is not supported on this Windows version. Oracle Business Intelligence is only supported on Windows XP x86, Windows 2003 x86, Windows 2003 AMD64, Windows 2003 EM64T, Windows Vista x86, Windows Vista AMD64, Windows Vista EM64T, and Windows 2000 x86.
    Anyone ever experienced the same problem?

    Thanks.

    Here's the short version of my fix on a Latitude 830.
    systeminfo.exe is dependent upon Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
    I downloaded WMIDiag from Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=d7ba3cd6-18d1-4d05-b11e-4c64192ae97d&displaylang=en
    WMIDiag identified problems.
    After some analysis, I decided that Broadcom ASF Management Application was the culprit. Yep, this is installed by Dell. http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/smasf/en/port_ug/install.htm
    Next, I removed the Broadcom ASF Management Application program from my machine. WMIDiag OK. systeminfo.exe OK.
    Just for grins, I downloaded Broadcom ASF Management Application R59662.EXE from Dell and installed. WMI is OK.

    Can any body help me to say thet "How to install Oracle Applications 11i(11.5.10.2) on Windows 2003 R2 X64 bit ' . Hi,
    I believe, 11i installation on Windows 2003 X64 is not fully supported.
    what is your os version:
    if it is windows 2003 32 bit, then it is supported on X86-64 servers for both database and application tiers
    If it is windows 2003 64 bit, then only datatabase tier is supported on x86-64 servers

    Your early help will be highly appreciated.
    thanks and regards
    Hassan

    You said, "...+I would like to install Release 2(11.1.1.2.0)+ ...". Be careful. 11.1.1.2.0 is not Release 2. The version for Rel 2 is 11.1.2.0, notice that there is one less "1". Also, there is no way to patch from Release 1 to Release 2.
    In EDelivery, this is what you should find if you search on "Oracle Fusion Middleware" for "Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)":
    First look for this link then drill into it:
    Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit)
    In this section you will find the following:
    This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 2 (Forms & Reports)
    Oracle Forms and Reports 11g R2 (11.1.2.0.0) for Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) V28761-01
    This is the full product installation of FMw 11 Release 1 (includes Portal, Forms, Reports, and Disco)
    Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) (Part 1 of 4) V18785-01

    This is the FMw 11 Release 1 patch set that will bring the above 11.1.1.2.0 installation to 11.1.1.6.  This is NOT a full product installation - just a patch
    Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Patch Set 5 (11.1.1.6.0) for Microsoft Windows x86 (64-bit) V29850-01

  • Can we Install Oracle JDeveloper 10.1.2.1.0 on windows 7?

    Hello,
    Can we install Oracle JDeveloper 10.1.2.1.0 on windows 7? I tried to run copy of JDeveloper on windows 7, few features were not able to view or run. For example, few items in menus were not appearing. On clciking on view, the tree sturcture on left side was not expading.
    Is there any other way so that i can run my JDeveloper 10.1.2.1.0? Plz help me

    You can try installing the newer version of JDK1.5, you can get it from
    http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/5.0_22/index.html
    then, once you have installed it, rename ${JDEVELOPER_HOME}\jdk to ${JDEVELOPER_HOME}\jdk_old, and put your newly installed jdk in ${JDEVELOPER_HOME}\jdk
    I resolved some problems doing that with my windows 7 and JDeveloper. Problems are caused by Aero.
    Hope this helps

    It is not possible installing Oracle in WINDOWS ME platform, because this won't support for ORACLE. Unfortunately ORACLE also have no version for WINDOWS ME. If possible, upgrade your OS to WINDOWS 2000 or downgrade to WINDOWS 98 and try it.
