Installing 8i Personal Edition

I am installing Oracle 8i Personal Edition
on windows 98 and I ran into a problem.
I couldn't install the Database Configuration Asistant. The log reads:
Documents\Downloads\Oracle8i\starterdb is an invalid command line argument
So it is looking in Documents instead of MyDocuments. How do I tell it to look in MyDocuments?

The problem is that Personal 8i isn4t compatible with Windows ME. But don4t worry. There4s a solution. Before you install it, modify the WIN.INI file, in the section [Compatibility95], adding Jrew=0x00080000. Reboot your system and try to install it again. Good luck.

I am attempting to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on a PC with Windows ME, 192MB RAM, and 15GB of HD space. The installation is on my D:\ partition and I simply cannot get past specifying a valid "destination" directory. The default destination directory specified by Oracle Installer does not work. I keep getting an error message telling me to check the path. I have tried changing it with no success. I leave the "source" directory as-is by default.
Does the Oracle Home need to be installed on the same drive that the OS directory is located on (C:\)? What am I doing wrong? Are there any pre-installation steps?
Thanks for any help!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Installing Oracle8i Personal Edition, Version 8.1.5 on Windows XP Pro

I am trying to install Oracle8i Personal Edition, Version 8.1.5 on my system with Windows XP Pro on it.
After copying the CD content to the Hard Drive and renaming symcjit.dll to symcjit_back.dll, and running the setup from the oracle folder on the C drive, I am having the following error message:
" Invalid srttaging area. There are no top level components for Windows NT available for install from this satging area".
Any clue?

You may want to search the database forums or All forums categories first to see if this question is already answered. I see at least 6 threads in the database category level and 21 threads when I searched all categories for "invalid staging area." If you still do not the find the answer, please repost your question in the database forum.

Oracle 8.1.5 Personal Edition
Oracle does not support installing version 8.1.5 PE into
Windows Millennium.
As an unsupported workaround, you may add the following line
to the [compatibility95] section of win.ini prior to
installation:
Jrew=0x00080000
After setup is complete, Oracle will recommend a reboot.
There is one additional step necessary prior to reboot;
Oracle may add a non-standard path statement to the
autoexec.bat file. Please modify this SET PATH
statement to use short-filenames if you find a quoted
LFN string represented as part of the path. You can
confirm that the path was merged successfully into the
registry after reboot by examining the PATH variable
in the registry at
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Environment
Symptoms of a missing Oracle path statement in the registry are that Net8 Easy Config will not launch.
Please note that Oracle does not support the use of this
product in Windows ME, but have authorized these workarounds
for testing purposes only.

Installing oracle8i personal edition on windows ME

I am having a problem installing oracle8i personal edition on windows ME.
The error on running the setup.exe was "jrew has caused an error in javai.dll. " A fix was reported on the internet for this , which is adding a line ": Jrew=0x00080000" to compatibility95 in the win.ini file. Appaarently this fix worked for few people, but it is making no difference for me.
Please provide a solution for this. email:[email protected]

Duh hello....This is a Java forum not Oracle. Place your question in an Oracle forum.

De-installing Oracle personal edition

I've installed Oracle Personal Edition 8.1.6 on a D: drive of an NT 4.0 machine. As it turned out, I really needed to install it on C:. So, I attempted to de-install it from D:. When done with the de-installation using the Universal Installer (and it told me that all the products were removed), I rebooted and proceeded to install on the C: drive. The installer told me that there still was an instance on the D: drive. I attempted to remove all Oracle-related keys from the registry, with no success. There are two services still on the system (listener and the one for the instance). How do I cleanly delete all traces of the previous install?

first you had to stop all oracle stuff of services then you have to de-install the things. Oracle has one disadvantage is if you remove all stuff from regedit then also it'll give some problem for installation.
So better you install o.s. again do the installation it'll work prefectly.
cheers then.

Installing 8i Personal Edition on WindowsXP Professional

I have an IBM Thinkpad A20m which was running Win NT Service
Pack 6.0 and Oracle 8i Personal Edition. I was able to run the
sample database without any problems until I installed Windows
XP Pro. After this, I was getting all types of errors including;
ORA-01034
ORA-12560 TNS:protocol adapter error
ORA-27101 shared memory realm does not exist
I tried to uninstall & reinstall several times with no luck!!
PLEASE HELP!!!
Also, I notices that the version I had previously
included "Partitioning and Java Options" but the new install
did not... Is this an option I forgot??
Please e-mail replies if possible to [email protected]

Burning and installing 8i Personal Edition after download

Hello,
I downloaded the Orcale DB 8i Personal Edition (nt817personal.zip) for WinNT/2000/XP.
I extracted the zip file and burned the contents on a CD ROM. During the burn software file scan, I got a message saying that the directory depth exceeds the ISO limt (8), and it could cause problems reading it on old operating systems. Since I intended to install it on Win2000, I chose to continue.
When I tried to install from the CD, the installaion stopped with no error during "analyzing dependencies" stage.
I copied all the files from the CD to the HD and tried again, but encountered the same problem.
Only after I downloaded the original file again, extracted it localy and installed from the HD did the installation go through.
I would like to have a CD copy of the installation file, what should I do ? should I burn the zipped file and extract it locally each time I need to install ?
BTW - I used EZ CD Creator to burn the CD.
Thanks,
Flash

There4s no version of Personal 8i for Windows ME. However, you can install this version in your system. Before you do this, modify your WIN.INI file, in section [Compatibility95], adding : Jrew=0x00080000. Reboot your system and try to install. Hope that helps you. Good luck.

Installing Oracle 9i Personal Edition on XP

Hi, I am trying to install 9i Personal Edition on my Dell PC running XP. It gets 2% complete and gives me an error "Invalid Staging Area. There are no top level components for Windows NT for installion in this staging area." Another problem is that I am accessing our other oracle databases from this desktop and after this install fails it screws up my registry entries so bad that none of my montoring tools work and I have to manually fix it. Any suggestions?

Do you have any oracle products currently installed?

Unable to install Oracle 8i personal edition into W2K pro

I am unable to install 8i personal edition Release 3 onto my W2K machine. I download the zip file and unzip it into (c:/OracleInstall) a folder I have created on my c:/ drive. When i click on the setup.exe file it opens up. When I click on the install button the GUI disappers and nothing occurs. I have attempted to burn it onto a CD_Rom and install through the control panel and the same occurs.
I am not sure what is causing this problem. Is there any why I could request the software in a CD as opposed to a zip file? What could be causing this problem?
