Installing Des.6i on already existing 8i home

Hello All,
I have Windows 2000 client with Oracle 8i client tolls already installed, I am trying to install designer 6i which needs another oracle home other than Oracle 8i home. I have created another Oracle home by editing registry and the designer 6i installation gets terminated with a message explaining that it cannot work with multiple oracle homes.
The remedy that I can only see is to remove all existing oracle homes with the products and then start with installing designer 6i first followed by Oracle 8i into its own home.
I want to install designer on a few clients where the 8i already exists and if you guys know any other easier way please do let me know so that I can avoid de-installation.
Thanks in advance

You may do some tricks with the Windows Registry or just wait for Designer 6i Release 2 which supports multiple homes.
According OTN it should have arrived last December. If you beleive in Oracle's commitment wait a bit. Can't tell how long.
The product was due couple of months ago...

  • Home network name already exists in Home Hub's dat...

    Hello,
    How do I delete this database as it's causing so much trouble/problems by assigning multiple names to same static IP address. How do I connect to the database and delete all the record or create new static address assignment. Each time i tried to rename it back, i keep getting the error "Home network name already exists in Home Hub's database." Remote desktop is now connecting to different machine due to this issue
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. I have some computers with static IP physically assigned to them (not via home hub but on physically on the computer itself), when I go to Hub manager, advanced settings and home network, the device name with static IP are mapped to wrong IP, if i click on the name and change it, I then get errorr about the database. I am not talking about or refering to DHCP/DHCP table. My problem is with static IP I physically assigned to some devices but coming up on Home Network with a diffrent name mapped to assigned IP on those computer. Really I should be able to change the name to the right one and click on save.
    I have some server with static IP and when I RDP (using netbios name) into them, they're connecting to wrong system, checking the hub gave me visibility that those system are mapped to those IP of connected system
    Example:
    System A - IP 10.10.10.10 (physically assigned on the machine)
    System B - IP 10.10.10.11 (Physically assigned on the machine)
    RDP to System A, you get system B desktop, checked Home HUB, system A is mapped to system B IP (not sure if I'm making sense here)
    Please forget about DHCP, those are all fine and not really worry about those one
    My question is: How do I clear Home Hub database as described in the error, is this possible

  • Install db9.2 but already a oracle home

    Hi,
    I want to install Oracle Database v.9.2.
    Currently i am working on a business laptop with several Oracle homes.
    (home to Oracle forms, Discoverer, etc.).
    Can i install a new Oracle database version 9.2 and not destroy my current homes, thinking about TOAD, Discoverer, etc.
    Thanks in advance,
    Charles.

    You shouldn't have problems, just use a different (new) Oracle Home.

  • When I try to install Lightroom 5.6 I get a "Object already exists" message. I can't install it at all

    I updated Lightroom to 5.6 before going away for the weekend. When I came home I was unable to access lighroom all together. After searching I finally found how to chat with customer service (which I can't figure out again) and they told me to uninstall Lightroom, make a new Admin on my computer, and re-install it on the new Admin. When I did this I still get the same "Object already exists" message and it won't even install now.

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * Delete the files and folders in the %temp% folder.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Oracle9iAS Installation (Home already existed)

    I installed the Oracle9iAS and the Oracle8i 8.1.7 Database Server on the same machine.
    There is no problem when I installed the Oracle9iAS Standard version. But when I installed the Enterprise version, there is a error occurs with a error dialog:
    Home already existed
    After closing the error dialog, then the installation progress stopped at 81% forever.
    Can anybody help me to solve the problem? Thank you in the advance!

    After I installed the Oracle8.1.7, I was going to install the Oracle9i Enterprise Ed. There was no any Oracle9i installed before.
    Thank you!

  • Installing WebCenter in existing Middleware home next to UCM

    Hello!
    I've been tasked to install WebCenter with Spaces and have it interact with our existing UCM 11G install. I already have Middleware Home directly, and the UCM server in that. All is working well.
    I know need to install WebCenter separately on the same machine. As part of the installation of WebCenter it tells me that I need to create schemas for Spaces and install Content Server. Do I really need to do that, or can I use existing schema for UCM and an existing Content Server?
    If that needs to be a separate schema for Spaces, how the new and existing systems will interact?
    Thank you!
    Anya

    You can do it but it willl reauire some additional configuration. When you install UCM together with Webcenter, it will configure UCM for WebCenter. You need to install a few components and so on. Now you will need to enable these components seperatly.
    When you run the RCU, you don't need to create the UCM schema's. When you extend an existing domain, you will need to point to an existing UCM schema, just specify the values for your existing UCM schema's and everything should be fine.

  • Why am I told Bing is already installed when it does not exist on my computer????????

    I removed Bing from my computer as I did not like it much. Since Google has now become such a useless piece of junk I decided to re-install Bing but each time I try I get the following message.
    Quiote:
    Firefox could not install the search plugin from "https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/54407/bing-20090601.xml?src=category" because an engine with the same name already exists.
    This engine does no show up anywhere on my computer except for an XML file in Firefox/searchengines. I have deleted them but it makes no difference. The files do not show in Tools\addons nor in about:config. Please don't tell me that Firefox is become as useless as Google...............I don't want to have to use IE.

    Bing should be installed as one of the default search engines (bing.xml in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox program folder)
    If the file is there and you do not see it in Manage Search engines then click the "Restore Defaults" button to restore the default search engines.
    If that didn't help then delete the search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • I am trying to install iTunes 12.0 on my Windows 7 PC to sync my iPhone6. I am getting error message, "Item already exists" on installation of iTunes 12.0.  Apple has no fix. Help???

    I am trying to install iTunes 12.0 on my Windows 7 PC to sync my iPhone6. I am getting error message, "Item already exists" on installation of iTunes 12.0.  Apple has no fix. Help???

    Item or object?
    For "Object already exists" or "Access denied" errors when installing try opening Control Panel > Programs and Features > View installed updates then checking for Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2918614). Uninstall if you have it, then reboot and try installing again.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • How to deal with "Error 1001. The specified service already exists" when install a service using installer package?

    Hi everybody,
    I wrote a "Class Library" project which is a service using Visual Stodio 2008 recently, then tried to use a Visual Studio 2008
    Setup Project to install it.
    Here is what I did for the "Class Library":
    1. Finish the program.cs, Service.cs
    2. Add Installer
    3. Change the serviceInstaller so that "StartType" to be Aotumatic
    4. Change the ServiceProcessInstaller2 so that "Account" to be LocalSystem
    5.
    6. Click in F5 (Start Debugging)
    Here is what I did for the Setup Project:
    1. Add the exe file built from the "Class Library" project to the Application Folder
    2. On the Custom Action Editor, add the exe file from 1 to Install and Commit
    3. Change the property of the project so that "RemovePreviousVersion" to be true
    4. Click on F6(Build Solution)
    Then I tried to run the msi file from the built of the Setup Project. Because I modified the two projects serveral times, I uninstalled the Class Library using "Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs" before I reinstall. Two things I notived:
    1. After unstall, the registry was not cleaned up about the installed program
    2. After several rounds install/uninstall, I got "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"
    My questions are:
    1. How to cleanup the registry when uninstall a program?
    2. How to deal with the "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"?
    3. Did I do anytbing wrong with the "Class Library" or the "Setup Project"?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Simon, not a problem!
    I spent some more time on this and here are few more notes:
    it is called Major Upgrade, when you are installing new version of the product upon a previous one and
    MSI supports 2 strategies:
    Strategy 1. Install a new version and uninstall previous one. (Install a new version right upon previously installed version (file merging is performed based on dll version number) and the delete previously
    installed files)
    Strategy 2. Uninstall previous version and install a new one (Delete all previous files and install from scratch new files.)
    From the first look it seems that 1st strategy is weird and buggy. But, remember, MSI is great because it's transactional!!! That means that if once some of the phases (Installation, Uninstallation, Rollback, Comit) fails, your machine
    will be reverted to the previous state and it'll be still functional. 
    Let's consider both strategies:
    Consider you have installed product_v1.msi and you want to install product_v2.msi.
    Strategy 1
    1. MSI engine copies files from Product_v1 directory to TEMP directory
    2. MSI engine merges files based on the assembly version (between v1 and v2)
    3. Once merging is completed successfully it removes files in TEMP (RemoveExistingProducts  action triggers it) and you got product_v2 installed, otherwise if it fails MSI engine revert machine to V1 and copies previous files from TEMP.
    Strategy 2
    1. MSI engine tottaly removes all files from v1.
    2. MSI engine installs v2 files and if something goes wrong you cannot revert back, because RemoveExistingProducts  allready worked out and MSI doesn't have files to revert machine back
    I recommend to everybody to use Strategy 1 and leverage MSI transaction functionality. And you can set this strategies by defining sequence of RemoveExistingProducts action. See more info
    here.  So, I think it's not even a bug in VS as I said in the upper post it is default recommened behaviour.
    AND, you got "Error 1001. The specified service already exists"
    because if we follow Strategy 1 MSI engine tries to install Windows Service on top of the existing service and OF COURSE it fails MSI engine (StopServices, DeleteServices actions are executed before actual
    installation and  they look at ServiceControl table). In order to stop service first and delete them you have to fill ServiceContol table of the MSI (and then StopServices, DeleteServices actions will recognize what to they have to stop
    and delete), like this:
    *clip*clip*clip*
    ' see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371634(v=vs.85).aspx for more info
    ' Update the Service Entry to stop and delete service while uninstalling
    query = "INSERT INTO ServiceControl (ServiceControl, Name, Event, Arguments, Wait, Component_) VALUES ('MAD_Service', 'Service name', '160', '', '1', '"
    + componentName + "')"
    Set view = database.OpenView(query)
    : CheckError
    view.Execute : CheckError
    ' Update the Service Entry to stop and delete service while installing
    query = "INSERT INTO ServiceControl (ServiceControl, Name, Event, Arguments, Wait, Component_) VALUES ('MAD2_Service', 'Service name', '10', '', '1', '"
    + componentName + "')"
    Set view = database.OpenView(query)
    : CheckError
    view.Execute : CheckError
    *clip*clip*clip*
    We can uninstall service first by following Strategy 2, but then we lose transactional support.
    So, Simon did I encourage you to change your code a bit?:)
    And, btw, if you don't want to change the strategy, please don't rely on SequenceID in MSI table, it can be change, you have to get the at the runtime.
    Hope it will help to everybody!
    See also more advanced explanation of how MSI works
    here.

  • Won't install java 1.8 says version already exists 14.9

    I'm trying to create a database in Open Office which I was able to do fine this morning, but now after updating OO it is telling me "no java installation could be found". When I go to oracle to download the latest Java version the machine tells me I already have version 14.9 installed which as far as I can tell from google searching is  not an actual version of Java since every link is in another language. I've gone through the forums to see how to delete the version of "java" that I do have off the machine. Opened the terminal and cut and pasted in the command from this post: When trying to install newest Java, computer says a newer one already exists? But it says I need a password to run the command. There is no solution on this thread. So I'd really love for someone to tell me what the heck give here. (I'm running 10.9.5 and trying to use OO 4.1.1. I've gone through the OO forums to no avail as well.)

    How I was able to overcome the Java 14.9.0 problem
    My iMac (late 2009) was yesterday updated to  Mountain Lion 10.8.5 and today  I updated Java through Apple Store, which resulted in Java 14.9.0 and it was unable to run.
    After researching, I found the following path that was 100% successful to delete Java 14.9.0 and able to install Java 10.8.40.
    On the  System Preference for Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5 go to section: 
    1. Personal -> Security Privacy -> Firewall -> turn it off
    2. General-> Check "Allow application downloaded from anywhere".
    (In case if Norton Firewall is on: check it  Disabled)
    On Finder -> Devices -> Macintosh HD and localize Java Applet Plugin.plugin and move it to trash:
    Finder -> Devices -> Macintosh HD -> Library -> Internet Plug-Ins -> JavaAppletPlugin.plugin
    Go to www.java.com and install Java version 8 update 40.
    After following the  steps, verify its installation.
    Go back to System Preference and localize in the section Other  "Java Control Panel". Click on its icon and go to Security and check "Enable Java content in the browser".
    Check browser to activate Java Plug in: Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons ->Plugins -> Java Applet Plug-in - Java 8 Update 40
    Check "Always Activate " or "Ask to Activate"
    Hope these paths help you.

  • Getting Object already exist error when installing adobe reader

    I'm unable to install any Adobe application programs on my Windows 7 machine.  I tried Adobe Reader XI, Lightroom 5.6, Photoshop CC, etc.  All resulted with "Object Already Exist" error.  I searched on Adobe site for fix, and there was one to delete Crypto file.  However, this resulted with the same error.  How can I install Adobe Reader?

    Your approach is correct in identifying the error.  I used ProcMon from Sysinternals (now Microsoft) and came up with the following events leading up to "Object already exists" error.  The error occurs after opening C:\Users\%account%\AppData\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-....... file.  If the Crypto directory is missing, MSIEXEC.EXE will create along with RSA subdirectory and file name starting with S-1-5.....  There were five NAME NOT FOUND events, and their sequence is
         Windows Installer Logging item in HKLM\SOFTWARE registry
         C:\Users\%account%\AppData\Local\Temp\MSI7058d.LOG (this file was created at the next step)
         Windows Installer Debug item in HKLM\SOFTWARE registry
         FontSubstitution in HKLM\SOFTWARE registry
         CTF Known Classes item in HKLM|SOFTWARE registry
    I don't know which one causing the error, but my suspicion is the last one. But I don't know how to fix it.  Is there anyone who can give me insight to what is happening and how to fix it?

  • Installing Bootcamp onto already existing drive

    Looking to install Bootcamp then WinXP onto an already existing MacBookPro that is in daily use. Can this be done w/o having to backup, wipe clean and restore my Mac side?
    I will of course backup my Mac data just to be safe, just wondering if I have to reformat my entire internal drive just to set up a Windows partition?
    TIA

    That is exactly how it is done and that is WITHOUT having to wipe out your Leopard installation. You would run Boot Camp while in Leopard and create a Windows partition on your current HD. Ensure that you have enough space to do so.
    The installation guide (which you should print out and read) is available [HERE_|http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/Boot_CampInstall-Setup.pdf].

    There is definitely more amusing endeavours in this world, than trying to understand why an SQL Server install failed. The log files are verbose - but somehow the real information about what went wrong seems to be hiding. Never have proverb about not being
    able to see the forest for all the trees felt more appropriate.
    Nevertheless, this is where things go sour:

    What account? I supposed you have already asked yourself that and just shaken your head.
    But there is another error code 2203, NET HELPMSG 2203 says "The password parameter is invalid." And I note that the source is apparently on a share.
    So where is my guess: the MSI installer - which runs as a service, somehow does not have permissions to read the installation from the share. Or is trying to log on to the share with your username/password? No, I don't know, I am just speculating widely.
    But my advice would be to copy the installation directory from the share to a local disk.
    Maybe that CryptAcquireContext is significant as well - I don't know.
    Oh, wait, here is something just before the section above in the log:
    MSI (s) (F4:EC) [09:04:15:729]: Note: 1: 2205 2:  3: Environment
    MSI (s) (F4:EC) [09:04:15:729]: Note: 1: 2228 2:  3: Environment 4: SELECT `Name`,`Value` FROM `Environment`,`Component` WHERE `Component_`=`Component` AND (`Component`.`Action` = 1 OR `Component`.`Action` = 2)
    Action start 9:04:15: WriteEnvironmentStrings.
    2205 is "The logon processor did not add the message alias." I see that in a successful log that I have, so that is probably benign. But 2228 seems to be
    "There are too many names in the user accounts database."
    Exactly what that means, I have no clue, but it could be a Windows problem.
