Installing Oracle 8i on Windows Millenium

Can anyone out there please help me?
I tried installing Oracle 8i Enterprise edition on a PC but it wouldn't install as it kept on going back to the previous "Install/Deinstall" products screen. I tried it with Windows 98 and it worked first time.
Can Oracle 8i not run on Windows 98 or is there a patch that should be run before loading Oracle 8i?
Thanks!!!

It is not possible installing Oracle in WINDOWS ME platform, because this won't support for ORACLE. Unfortunately ORACLE also have no version for WINDOWS ME. If possible, upgrade your OS to WINDOWS 2000 or downgrade to WINDOWS 98 and try it.

  • Ora-00604 while installing Oracle 10g on Windows XP SP2

    I was installing Oracle 10g on Windows XP but the dbca was failling. So I tried to create a database manually.
    But every time I launch this:
    "SQL> startup nomount pfile="C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\XP10G\scripts\initXP10G.ora";"
    I always had:
    ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
    ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION
    I tried to change some memory value in the init*.ora without more success.
    So if anyone has been had such issue; he would be an help for me.

  • I am trying to install Oracle 9i on Windows Server 2008

    Hi
    I am trying to install Oracle 9i on Windows Server 2008.
    While installing third CD it shows the following error message
    "jrew.exe has stopped working"
    Please guide me what to do next as early as possible.
    Thanks

    Why?
    The general policy of Oracle is very simple:
    it certifies against the current version of the OS.
    It never re-certifies against new releases of the OS.
    Windows 2008 didn't exist when Oracle 9i was released.

  • Install Oracle 9i on Windows Vista Home Premium

    I have a problem Installing Oracle 9i on Windows Vista Home Premium, I cant install it because it throws me an error message saying that is incompatible with my version of Windows. It is possible to install it with some patch or something??
    Message was edited by:
    user599646

    The only patch I know of is called Windows XP.
    In case you have not done any internet searches on this, even Oracle Database 10g was not compatible with Vista until Oracle applied some heavy patches and re-released it.
    And since Oracle9i is officially deprecated (nearest thing to obsolete as to make no difference) I see no reason for Oracle to backport the patches.

  • How to Install Oracle 10g in Windows 7 Home premium 64bit operating system

    Hi,
    I am using Windows 7 Home premium 64bit operating system. While i was installing oracle 10g i got error and not able to install. How to install the Oracle 10g databse on this operating system. Is there any patch to install this or i have to use other version of oracle with window 7 operating system?
    Thanks in advance

    The argument would be who wants to install Oracle database on Windows 7. I think most probably by the developers who wants to "Try" something prior deal with a production database, right?
    For a developer, installing database using the hack is more than NOT having a local database running from the local system. I installed all the products mentioned with windows7bugs post and used the following tools to successfully connect and retrive data from the database instances.
    Toad 9.7.x.x
    SQL Developer
    SQL/Plus
    Developer 6i (Another hack, please check this link http://windows7bugs.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/installing-oracle-developer-forms-reports-6i-on-windows-7-64bit/).
    I think the discussion about whether all the features of client/server are still available with such a hacked installation is meaningless as far the information requested was strictly for Windows 7, not for a Server OS.

  • How to Install Oracle 11g on Windows Vista

    Hi Everyone, this is Abhinay here i am a Graduate Student from Electronics and i am planning to shift to CS background the main thing i want to know from you guys is " A structured procedure of Installing Oracle 10g on Windows Vista"- So can any one of you guys help me out??????????

    Hi, how are you doing ?
    Just one advice about it. If you want to work with Oracle databases, it will be better to install it on certified OS's. Doing so, you will get better experience and more realistic experience on it.
    Following the Oracle database documentation, you will get all that you need to successfully install the database in the certified OS.

    2. Create the database from the first node
    in this case, The second node can see the database as it is available?,
    and what about the IP adresses?
    If you can point me to some documentation, or help in any way, I would appreciate it.
    Thanks for any help.

    Installing oracle 8i on windows xp. will this work properly

    You may already know this, but the 8.1.7 Server install is not supported on XP, although the Client install is. You may want to install Oracle9i instead.
    Having said that, I have heard that people have managed to install 8.1.7 on XP, but it isn't always successful.

  • Install Oracle XE on Windows XP Embedded

    Can I install Oracle XE on Windows XP Embedded?

    I'm not sure that anyone has tried that before.
    Are you going to have enough memory? I think the answer might be along the lines of installing on XP Home... it could be done, but it will take a lot of time and a fair amount of voodoo. It also won't be supported.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Error during installing oracle client on windows XP

    Hi everybody,
    I want to install Oracle Client on Windows XP. I downloaded and installed Client version 10g on several PCs. But one of them gives me error - 'oui.exe - error'. Cant start oui.exe. Is it problem of Windows XP or ? I just cant start GUI of OUI.exe...
    regards,
    rustam

    1. Check the administrative privilege of that windows machine.
    2. Copy the binaries of client again in your machine. It may be corrupted.
    3. Restart your machine and try again.
