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

  • Latest Oracle 11g Client for Windows

    I was able to download base Oracle 11g Client from
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111060_win32soft.html
    Does anybody knows if this latest what they have for 11g ? Did Oracle release any patchset on top of that?

  • Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold  backup ?

    Hi Friends,
    Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold  backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
    (or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here  - Transporting Data Across Platforms
    (or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
    Regards,
    DB

    HI
    his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
    Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
    To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
    List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
    The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
    1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
    2. Start the database in read only mode
    3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
    4. Check if there are any external objects
    5. Execute the Rman Convert database command
    6. Copy converted datafiles, generated Transport Script and Parameter File to Linux
    7. Edit the init.ora for the new database
    8. Edit the Transport Script and Parameter File changing the windows paths to Linux Paths
    9. Execute the Transport Script
    10.Change the Database ID
    11.Check database integrity

  • How to remove Nokia Phone Browser from Windows Exp...

    Hello :-)
    This is registry hacking and your lawn's going to curl up and die right in front of you if you do that. OK?
    OK -- if you're happy with that, here's information, based on experience with Windows XP Pro SP2 and Nokia PC Suite 6.7 Release 22. It will probably work with other versions of Windows and PC Suite.
    It should be possible remove Nokia Phone Browser from Windows Explorer by going to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideMyComputerIcons\
    and creating a Dword Value named
    {416651E4-9C3C-11D9-8BDE-F66BAD1E3F3A}
    with data of 1.
    That didn't work for me so I went to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\ and changed the name of {416651E4-9C3C-11D9-8BDE-F66BAD1E3F3A}
    (by adding a - on the end) to
    {416651E4-9C3C-11D9-8BDE-F66BAD1E3F3A}-.
    That worked and it's easy to undo the change.
    Best

    This is incorrect. You can turn iMessage off and unregister your phone number from the service.  Actually getting that done, however, is difficult.

  • Oracle 11g Client for Windows Server 2008 Relase2 Operating Stystem

    Hi,
    I am having a server with Operating System as Windows Server 2008 R2 version 64 - bit.
    I am using SSRS 2008 which is 64 bit, for retreiving the data from Oracle (which is 11g - 32 bit), I am unable to create data source for Oracle.
    I had installed ODAC Components of Oracle 11.1.0.7.20 on the server, but still I am getting the following error:
    "The 'OraOLEDB.Oracle.1' provider is not registered on the local machine."
    Does any one know how to install Oracle Client 11g on Windows Server 2008 R2 Operating system?

    Helios,
    It is wonderful that you are polite and encouraging to new people.
    While you are responding, could you explicitly direct people to use the correct forum. This has at least 2 benefits:
    1) Ensures that the person gets the widest possible amount of assistance;
    2) Ensures that the rest of us do not need to waste time on improperly placed questions.
    I suggest 'explicitly' since some people do not get the hint, and keep returning to the original thread.
    This thread belongs in 'Database - General' or 'Database - Install'.

  • Oracle 11g client for Windows 8 - 64bit exists impromptu without error msg

    HI all.
    I just got a new laptop and its running Windows 8 Pro 64 bit os. I downloaded Oracle Client 11g 64bit from the oracle website. After clicking the setup.exe installer a msg box pops up saying '[INS -13003] Environment does not meet the requirement' with no further information. Yet i go ahead and continue becos i was told it was a general error and should be ignored.
    After that, the GUI comes up. I select Administrator (or any) installation type, the language, specify my installation location but on performing prerequisite check, it exists without error. Any help?

    The 12c client install is documented at Contents
    - it is a pretty straightforward process once you have downloaded the software. Did you try to install the full client or the Instant Client ?
    11.2.0.1 install may or may not complete correctly - if it does, there is no guarantee that it will function as expected

    Error: OUI-18001: The operating system 'Windows Vista Version 6.1' is not supported.

    Only for Oracle 10g client installation on win 7 32, 64 bit
    To get going with oracle on windows 7 64-bit. You can install oracle 10g 32 which you use for windows XP. Its unusal but successful. Install 10G it will get installed on program files x86. Then open tnsnames.ora files which will be either in program files x86/oracle/....search or it will be in c:\oracle...write the correct server name in tnsnames and in PB while doing the configuration..write tns:servername in the server textbox. I did that and it got connected...incase u need any help let me know my email address is [email protected]

    Do the following:
    1. As Sarah mentioned, ensure that you have JRE 1.6.0_12 or newer installed.
    2. In the Builder, ensure that you have entered both the Application Server URL and Web Browser Location values. Neither of these fields should be left blank. The browser location should be the complete path to the desired browser and include the exe name. For example if you were going to use IE it would look like this:
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
    These settings are found in the Builder under EDIT > PREFERENCES > RUNTIME

    I know that oracle client 9.2.0 is too old but company about i work have tests which run on this systemIf you are stuck using antiquated versions of software, the company really ought to stick to antiquated versions of the operating system as well. Trying to combine versions of the Oracle client that weren't even certified on Windows 2003 with a bleeding edge Windows 2012 system is a recipe for pain and suffering. Even if you appear to get things working, there are any number of bugs that will likely crop up over time due to the massive version incompatibility.
    If i understood right i can't make connection between oracle 9.2.0 32 bit client installed on windows 2012 to connect to oracle server 10 i?As others have pointed out, you probably can though you'll need to change the firewall rules. As others have stated, the firewall changes you'll need to make should probably be the same for a 9.2 client and a 10.2 client. But if you're determined to work with highly unsupported combinations of software, you're likely to have to embrace the idea that you're going to be blazing some new trails and that you'll have to spend a decent amount of time debugging issues that arise from your very unique combination.
