Help...! trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 Client on win2kPro.. no Go?

Hello,
I have tried installing multiple version (after removing the previous of course) of Java Runtime environment and none seem to allow me to install the Oracle 8i 8.1.7 client. Once I double click the "setup.exe" under win32, an hour glass comes up and then goes away. Any help would be appericated.
Thanks,
Sean.

Do you have a Pentium 4? There is a well-known issue with the Symantec JIT compiler that's packaged with the 8.1.7 installer where it doesn't recognize the CPU. If you rename (or remove) the file symcjit.dll, the installation should succeed.
Metalink document 131299.1 has more information on this particular error.

  • Please help: trying to install Oracle 8.1.6.0 on Mandrake 8.1

    Hi, I am trying to install Oracle8i that comes with "Oracle for Linux Starter Kit" on Mandrake 8.1. Could someone please give tips or pointer how i can accomplish this? The Universal Installer starts fine, but then a dialog pops up about compiling sqlplus. here is a piece from the log file:

    I had the same problem with Oracle 9i on Mandrake 8.1. I am not sure if the same fix will work or not. See my 9i on 8.1 notes at:
    http://members.home.net/joseph.j.flynn/oracle.htm
    snip---
    You will get a link error after all of the copying and unpacking has been done somewhere in disk 3. Leave the error message up on the screen and go edit the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh script. Blank out the LD_SELF_CONTAINED env var. Save and execute the script. Hit the retry button on the installer. The alternative approach to this involves downgrading the binutils but that seemed to get awfully messy to me. (thanks to a post from Helmut Seruega for this fix)

  • Error while trying to install Oracle 8.15 on Redhat 6.1

    I have been trying to install Oracle 8i (8.15) on my machine but I got an error while trying to run runInstaller:
    Initializing java virtual machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre. Please wait
    Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
    : Bad Address
    FYI:
    - I downloaded the Oracle 8i from the technet download site (I am not using a CD)
    - I am using Redhat 6.1
    - I downloaded and installed JRE as advised in the documentation.
    - My machine is a AMD K6, so is non-intel but I have not noticed any other problems using Redhat.
    - I currently only have 96MB RAM as opposed to the recommended 128MB.
    Please Help!!!
    null

    (All comments are based on redhat 6.0, not sure about other distros)
    If u are only using one linux machine, then I don't think you need to have 'DISPLAY' defined. Unset it then. This variable tells X clients where to display its X output. If unsetting does not make it work, then try 'export DISPLAY=ip_address:0.0' and then 'xhost +ip_address', where ip_address is the IP of your machine, or try 127.0.0.1.
    If u have two linux machines, like what I did:
    * Ran X on client machine (192.168.0.2).
    * Telnet to server machine (192.168.0.1 - where 8i will be installed), login as 'oracle'
    * On the telnet session, I 'su' as root then mounted the CD, then 'exit' to return to the 'oracle' login on the telnet session.
    * On the telnet session, I did 'export DISPLAY=192.168.0.2:0.0' - telling it that all X clients on this telnet session will send its X output to the host on 192.168.0.1.
    * On the client machine (where X is running), opened another shell, did a 'xhost +192.168.0.1' - telling the X server on the client machine to accept X connections from the server machine (192.168.0.1).
    * Went back to the telnet session to the server machine, then ran the installer.
    In short, everything you do can be done remotely, apart from putting the CD on the server machine.
    The installer runs on the server but send its output to the client.

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the reply Rohini.
    The SYS password is change_on_install and SYSTEM password is manager. It still causes the same problem. The database I am using is an Oracle 8i database which is automatically created while installing Oracle 9iAS.
    I also tried to install Oracle Portal on an Oracle 9i Database on the same machine and this comes out with a different error. It tells me the SHARED_POOL_SIZE is less than 31457280 whereas as I checked through SQL*Plus its actually much more than that!
    Can you please help?
    Thanks,

    Hi, I currently have Personal Oracle 8i installed on an HP Pavilion Win98. I have taken a class called Personal Oracle and have bought a few books and have been learning SQL, SQL Plus, and trying PL/SQL. However, I also want to learn some development skills and have tried to install Oracle Forms 6i (the version I have is for 95/98/NT, so at least I know I have the correct platform compatability). When I try to install Forms I'm getting 'missing file' errors that prevent the installation. Does the Oracle Home 'Name' and 'Location' have to be the same as the Personal Oracle installation, do they need to be different? Everything I'm doing for now will be done entirely on this machine, so location of data is not an issue. These are the files missing when I try to install:
    jre11.map
    rsf73.map
    cdesql60.map
    I had the 'cdesql60.map' missing file error first. Then I did a couple of other things (don't know what the heck I did) and then I get the 'rsf73.map' error, then the 'jre11.map' error. I tried using the universal installer but there seems to be no 'products.jar' file on the Forms 6i disc.
    Can anyone please help me figure out how to get this Forms disc installed?!
    Many thanks in advance...
    Please drop me an email at:

    Forms 6i have to installed on a separate oracle home than the oracle DB as it overwrites some dll files already existing in the 8i oracle home. Install Form 6i on a separate oracle home.

  • I am trying to install Oracle 9i on Windows Server 2008

    Hi
    I am trying to install Oracle 9i on Windows Server 2008.
    While installing third CD it shows the following error message
    "jrew.exe has stopped working"
    Please guide me what to do next as early as possible.
    Thanks

    Why?
    The general policy of Oracle is very simple:
    it certifies against the current version of the OS.
    It never re-certifies against new releases of the OS.
    Windows 2008 didn't exist when Oracle 9i was released.

    I do not know about the oracle 10g client that which version is that on.
    For your information actually error is ORA-03134: connection to this server are no longer supported.
    The error which i am getting is on SSMA a tool by microsoft to migrate oracle to sql 2008. So that tool is displaying this error when i am trying to connect to oracle by the help of SSMA.That tool may be displaying the error, but it is only passing what it was given by the underlying Oracle client. The MS product really has nothing to do with the underlying problem, and can do nothing to fix it.
    I believe Schavalli is right, you may need to get a 9.2 client in there as an intermediary. I once had a system where the app was built in pro-C and the source was lost so could not be recompiled/relinked. We had to host the db on 10.2 to take advantage of certain security features. Ended up having to have an intermediate 9.2 database for the 8.1 client (and there's where we had to patch up to 8.1.7.4) to connect to, and all of the "tables" in the 9.2 were really just public synonyms to db_links pointing on to the 10.2 database.
    please suggest sth?
    Thanks for help
