Install Error (Operating System User Error)

Hello,
I am having a problem installing Oracle 9ias application server. I installed it once and then thought I messed the install up because I couldn't log on to the application manager. Anyway I deinstalled it using the product installer software they supply and then I rebooted and now I continue to get the following error. I am the only user who has ever tried to install the software.
All Oracle 9iAS installations on a host must be installed by the same operating system user. The initial Oracle 9iAS installation located at C:\ora9ias was installed by a different operating system user. Please exit the install, log in as the user who installed the inital Oracle 9iAS installation and restart the install.
Any ideas?

Hi,
you must drop manually the references in regedit to old iAs orcle home. Then you must drop the key 'em_loc' in regedit located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>ORACLE if this key is pointing to Oracle 9iAS home.
I have done this and I've installed my ias instance right in W2K.

  • "boot device not found. please install an operating system on your hard disk error on Dm3 1030us

    Hi
    I have the following computer:
    name: hp pavilion Dm3 1030us
    serial number: {Removed for privacy}
    product number: VM073UA#ABA
    when i boot up my laptop it says "boot device not found. please install an operating system on your hard disk."
    this laptop does not have a cd drive but I do have a external one. since it does not have a cd drive therefore they didnt give me a recovery cd.
    It had Windows 7 on it.
    Is there a way to get the issue resolved

    You would have to call in to HP tech support ( 1-800-HP-INVENT) and have them order you some RCD's.

  • Oracle installed under which operating system user?

    How can I know, under whıch operating system user does the oracle installed?
    Oracle 10gXE and windowsxp

    You can find it ..following the next steps:
    1) Control Panel
    2) Administrative Tools
    3) Computer management
    4) Click on 'groups' sub-folder of the 'Local users and groups' folder
    5) on the right pane .. search for the 'ora_dba' group... This group is automatically created by Oracle and puts in the O/S user you have logged on the system at the time of the db installation....
    6) Dbl-click on this group to find out the O/S username....
    I'm not sure for the above steps if you have installed OracleXE...

    I bought a second hand Macbook Pro and colorful stud
    Only after a few months I decided to reformat it
    Bad movie started here I did not get it with a disc and I come to install the operating system
    And he asks the name of Apple's user ID financed had been bought Lion OS Now
       And who sold me does not answer then I found the phone number of his mother
    She said he lived in USA and paid him more than the lion version of the MacBook and now I can not install Lion
    And I'm not from USA

    Unless you go back to the original owner, yes you need to pay for it again.
    You're entitled to the OS that shipped with the device from Apple, but if you don't have that media there's nothing you can really do.  If the system originally shipped with 10.7 or 10.8 then when you boot it to Internet Recovery, it will automatically offer you that OS version (as the serial # is registered with Apple).  If it shipped with an older OS, then you need to enter the Apple ID that purchased 10.7 or 10.8.  You didn't purchase it so that's not you.
    The options you have are to buy Lion for $29 US (I don't know the price in Palestine), or Mountain Lion for $19 US (don't know the price in Palestine either), and install from scratch.
    And it's a good idea to know you have restore media before you reformat your machine.

  • How do I re-install the operating system on my BlackBerry Torch 9800 - I am sure it is hacked.

    Greetings,
    Can someone point me to instructions on how to re-install the operating system on a BlackBerry Torch 9800 and then upgrade it to the latest release?
    I have done this several times in the past, due to recurring hacking, but have lost the instructions. 
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Regards,
    Jean-Pierre
    P.S. I would preffer a releas of the OS without any pre-install applicaitons such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, 
            and above all, Whastapp. Thank you.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
    1) Make sure you have a current and complete backup of your BB...you can find complete instructions via the link in my auto-sig below.
    2) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
    3) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
    http://us.blackberry.com/software/desktop.html
    4) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/downloa​d_sites.jsp
    It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
    5) Delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    6a) For changing your installed BB OS level (upgrade or downgrade), you can launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC.
    6b) Or, for reloading your currently installed BB OS level as well as for changing it, bypass the Desktop Software and use LOADER.EXE directly, by proceeding to step 2 in this process:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste​...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC.
    If, during the processes of 6a or 6b, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:
    KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software
    Good luck and let us know!

  • HP Pavilion dv-4087CL Notebook receiving : Boot Device Not Found-Please install an operating system

    My Duaghter is out of the country studing abroad.  Her PC would no longer boot up so she took it to a support shop. They replaced her hard drive, fixed an over heating issue and reloaded her PC.  Now she is getting this new error message and she is desparate to get this fixed.  We have owned this PC for only 2 years. I am sure it is out of support.
    HP Pavilion dv-4087CL Notebook receiving : Boot Device Not Found-Please install an operating system on your hard disk.
    She took it back to the support shop and they upgraded her bios, but that did not fix the error message.
    Please help!  What can she do  now.

    Hi:
    Normally that means the hard drive failed.
    I know it was replaced but maybe the replacement drive went out too.
    There is a hard drive diagostics tool your daughter can run in the BIOS.
    I suggest she run it (enter the BIOS by tapping the F10 key as soon as she sees the HP welcome screen).
    Then once in the BIOS, there should be a diagnostics menu..one for memory and one for the hard drive.
    She should select the hard drive diagnostics application and see what it reports.
    Then go from there based on what is reported.

    Hi @Darren104
    Welcome to the HP Support Community. I saw your post regarding the Boot Device not Found error message. This HP document Resolve Boot Device not Found Error Message will show you how to reset your BIOS. This will force the BIOS the look at the hardware and it might see your new hard drive. Another reason that it might not be seeing the hard drive is because there is no bootable operating system on the hard drive. You might need to look at taking it out and installing an operating system on it via another computer.

    i wiped my computer clean and re-installed the operating system on my macbook pro because it's old and i hadn't done it in a long time. now i'm putting all of my old software back onto the computer. everything else had no problem. adobe lightroom 2 will not let me re-install it and keeps giving me an error message, telling me to contact the software manufacturer. the cd is not damaged at all and i have the serial number for the software, etc... what's wrong? why can't i put it back on my computer? i've done this at least twice before and had no problems.

  • File Permissions on Oracle Directories for other Operating System Users

    Hi,
    I am trying to export the table data to flat file using a pl/sql function using UTL_FILE package and directories created using 'CREATE DIRECTORY' command. The function is called from a stored procedure which in-turn is called from a Java program using JDBC and the Java process runs as different operating system user. The problem for me is the file exported is being written as 'ORACLE' user with 'OINSTALL' group and '-rw-r--r--' linux file permissions. When I try to read this exported file from the java program it throws me a file access error.
    I would like to know if we can specify any additional parameters either in
    1) Database parameter file
    2) UTIL_FILE.FOPEN function
    3) CREATE DIRECTORY command
    so that the files written to the DIRECTORY have a read write access.

    Since you attempting to read the file from Java, you are constrained by the OS.
    Write a stored proc to read the file, since PL/SQL does have the correct permissions to read/write to files.

  • After restore from 3 different media, all I get is "please install an operating system."

    The hard drive quit in my stepson's notebook. I bought a new one, installed it. I've tried to re-install Windows 8 from the USB stick he created when he got it. Didn't work. I tried from another USB stick restore image from an identical model, didn't work. I PAID for the DVD recovery set from HP... didn't work. I tried a Win 10 DVD... didn't work. All have the same problem, When the install is "finished", every time I get an error message saying "Please install an operating system" on what should be the first boot up.  After hours and hours of this crap I'm just about ready to throw the **bleep** thing away. There is no reason for this to happen, none. The only thing different is the size of the hard drive, it's 500GB instead of the original 350.  Extremely frustrated and hoping for some insight, Ken 

    Welcome Blue.
    You can clone the drive and change the product key.
    You must make sure that they both have the same version of Windows COA's.
    After you have the cloned drive booted go to START then COMPUTER then SYSTEM PROPERTIES.
    At the bottom of SYSTEM PROPERTIES you will see CHANGE PRODUCT KEY.
    Click on it and put the product key in that is on the bottom of that laptop.
