I have been trying to download Oracle 11 G Release 2 for Windows XP Profess

I have tried downloading Oracle Database 11 G Release 2 both the zip files 1 and 2 but while I have unzip the files, File 2 easily has been unzipped and File 1 gives an error *"_Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive. If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file again"*_
I had spent approximately 15 hrs for downloading the same but evertime it gives the above error. Tell me how should I go about the same and succeeding to install Oracle Database 11 G Release 2. Also this is the same with the Documentation zip file.
Please inform me in steps as to how I should do the installation.
Thanks in Advance!!!!!

Hi;
I heard just now that Windows vista has been stopped by microsoft according to my dealers and Windows 7 is only available.
According to microsoft site, I had learnt that there are various editions:
1.1 Windows 7 Starter
1.2 Windows 7 Home Basic
1.3 Windows 7 Home Premium
1.4 Windows 7 Professional
1.5 Windows 7 Enterprise
1.6 Windows 7 Ultimate For supported platform and OS version please check Srini's post, also you can use certificatin matrix(http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/metalink/index.html)
I would like to whether Oracle 11 G Release 2 will work on which of the above windows versions, so that I would like to buy the correct OS for the same.
Previously, I have done the Oracle 9i OCP Certification course from SQL STAR International and worked as Oracle 9i DBA in the back end and VB and VC ++ in the front end before Year 2008
Now, I have seen that companies have upgraded to latest OS, Databases etc and I will have start learning the Oracle 11 G Release 2 and I will also need the correct book with CD. You can check
Oracle 11g Release 2 (11.2) Documentation Library
