Installing Oracle 10g on Windows 2008 SP2 64bits

Hello,
I downloaded this version: 10204_vista_w2k8_x64_production_db. The setup starts fine, I set the location for the Oracle Home directory to (C: \oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1), click next, the setup continue and then stop with the following message: "the name Oracle home directory is invalid. Oracle home directory can not exceed 128 characters ....>> (translate from french)
Other info:
- I set the local administrator account on the machine
- I downloaded twice the archive (I thought it was corrupt)
- This install was within a VMWare VM, I tried on a physical W2K8 server and same message popup
- The latest Windows update are installed on the server
- I searched on Google but people who have encountered this problem had indeed spaces or invalid characters in the path.
I really don't what I did wrong.
Thank you for your help.
Chris

The setup starts fine, I set the location for the Oracle Home directory to (C: \oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1), Create this directory manually, and try using the browse button on the installer in order to select this directly.
Try this and see

  • Install Oracle 10g on windows 2008 Server 64bit

    Is it possible to install Oracle 10g on Windows 2008 64bit . I read one post below it says , windows 2008 is not certified for oracle 10g ..
    windows server 2008 Oracle 10G 64 bit
    before I installed 32bit , it is throwing error message on alert log file on every 5 seconds.
    "OER 7451 in Load Indicator : Error Code = OSD-04500: illegal option specified
    O/S-Error: (OS 1) Incorrect function. ! "
    if it is possible which version I want to download is best ..
    and what is the recommendation whether it is 10g or 11g

    You mean to say Oracle 10g 64bit will not work in Windows 2008..?No, i meaned the post you linked was written in year 2008, in that year it's was a unsupported platform for that oracle version. Actually its supported and you can install it.
    Furthermore like Aman told you, It's more recommended install 11gR2 version

    same issue here. I need 10.2.0.3.0 with install software to bring a legacy sid over onto new server hardware that will not support Win 2003. I have Win 2008 32bit loaded and just need the software install ruitine to make the move. My legacy 10g server running on older hardware and Win 2003 works, but is now uncompliant with IA requirements now. We are sandboxing this application. My new server will need to have 2008 on it.
    Will Oracle supply me the software. I have paid maintenace on my account every year. Just paid it for this year in Ocober. Should not have an issue here.submit a Service Request & you'll get your question answered

  • Installing Oracle 10g on Windows Server 2008

    Hi,
    I want to install Oracle 10g on Windows Server 2008. As per Oracle, I should install 10.2.0.3 and then apply patchset 10.2.0.4.
    For that, one has to sign in to metalink which is possible only for customers. I am
    using Oracle only for educational purposes for now. Is there any other way of using Oracle 10g on Windows 2008?
    Thanks,
    Vladi

    Of course if you don't have support and for educational purpose only , you should compromise a little by either install other OS or get virtual machine like VMware.
    Or stay with 10.2.0.3, that should work in most cases.

  • TNS 12549 error on installing Oracle 10g on Windows XP Home?

    Hi,
    I installed Oracle 10g on Windows XP Home by clicking on Disk1\install\setup (NOT Disk1\setup as instructed since that did not work). Everything seemed to go fine except towards the end of the install I got a whole bunch of errors saying that "operating system resource quota exceeded". There were options to Ignore or Abort at most of these stages. I chose Ignore and the whole install seemed to complete but I am not able to connect to the database using sqlPlus. I looked at the log files created where I saw a whole bunch of errors in several files. For example in sqlnet log, I saw this error (among others) appeneded below. It seems obvious that some resource quotas were exceeded but I am not able to figure out exactly what quotas should be increased. Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
