Installing Oracle 8i on Windows XP Home

Hi All,
Has anyone been able to install 8i (8.1.7) on Windows XP Home yet ?
I have gotten as far as 98% complete and then the install just hangs.
I have a P4 laptop and knowing about the P4 bug I've already renamed all copies of symcjit.dll and even tried using 9.2 versions of symcjit.dll, but the install still hangs at 98%.
Any ideas from you clever folk will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

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 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??

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.

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.

XP Home is not supported, despite of this some people get oracle to work.
But in your case, possibly your machine has simply not enough resources, 12549 is a very generic error. Check the hardware requirements in the installation guide.

Install Oracle 11g on windows 7 Home Premium?

All,
I'm trying to install Oracle 11g on windows 7 home premium edition? Is there any one installed successfully?

Do you have any specific issues with your installation? I don't see why you shouldn't be able to install Oracle 11g on Windows 7. Found a quick blog post for you:

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.

Re: Install Oracle 11g on windows 7 Home Premium?

Can any one let me know whether windows 7 home premium supports oracle 11g 32bit version?

Welcome to the forums !
No - Home versions of Win are not supported for any Oracle installs. One option you have is to create a Linux VM on your Win 7 machine and then install 11gR2 in the Linux VM - pl see my blog (linked in my profile) for detailed steps

Installation of oracle 10gR2 on Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit OS

can we install oracle 10gR2 on Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit OS ???
While doing sqlplus from command prompt,
it's giving error like
'SP2-1503 Unable to initialise Oracle Call interface'
'SP2-0152 Oracle may not be functioning Properly'
How to troubleshoot the above errors,
Has anybody tried it ???
Plz assist.

No Oracle product is certified against any Windows Home OS.
As Vista was released after Oracle 10gR2, 10gR2 is not certified against any edition of Vista.
You need to downgrade to XP, or install Linux.

Oracle 9i and Windows XP home version

Is it possible to install Oracle 9i on Windows XP home version? I have heard that the O/S has to be Windows XP PROFESSIONAL version. Is this true?

I installed oracle 10g on my XP Home and it works great. I can even config the net manager connect from my another XP Pro to this XP Home oracle 10g.

INSTALLING ORACLE APPS 12X ON VISTA HOME BASIC

ive been spending too much time struggling to newly install oracle R12x on windows vista home basic on my laptop HP 4GB RAM but in vain. I successfully installed VMWARE but i cant get it launched, the IE fails to start from there i really dont know whats wrong. Can somebody pls help with the step-step process how to install this apps on the mentioned platform..appreciated in advance.

I tried several times with windows desktop vista as host with vmware as guest operating system but in vain i gave up. What is the guest OS? Is it a supported OS? If not, do not expect the installation to run successfully.
also i dont have account-access to metalink so pls dont refer me there since its not free. Pls if you are not sure dont fill-up my space with unhelpful messages. For correct working steps i will give you a big credit rating...appreciated in advance.Without having access to MOS docs, do not expect to get the complete steps. Plus, we cannot post the contents of MOS docs since this violates Oracle Support agreement policy.
I am not sure what do you mean by "Pls if you are not sure dont fill-up my space with unhelpful messages. For correct working steps i will give you a big credit rating" but I should mention few things here.
- All the replies above are helpful, but you insist to use unsupported OS (you are wasting your time and ours by doing this)
- If you did install a supported OS, please mention the OS along with the complete error message
- You do not have access to MOS website, which is a must for anyone who wants to do Oracle EBS installation
- What does "not sure" mean in your line? We do not fill-up any space with unnecessary messages (I agree sometime people do, but NOT in this thread)
- If you really need help, then you better review your replies and respect that you are getting help from people who volunteer to do so without getting any credit in return
Thanks,

Oracle 9i for Windows XP Home Edition

Would like to know which version can be downloaded to install oracle 9i for Windows XP Home Edition .. Would like to download Oracle 9i Developer as well...

I can only comment on the database installation. Oracle has now supported 9i for XP professional (no previous versions will be supported). XP home will NOT be a supported platform for Oracle products.
NOTE: There is a bug with 9i installations that the OUI will fail if the CLASSPATH has been set by installations from previous Oracle installations. Before installing 9i you will need to clear the CLASSPATH and then proceed with your installation. Once the installation is complete you can restore the CLASSPATH with your original settings.

Cannot Install Java JDK on Windows 7 Home Premium

Hello all, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question. I have an issue trying to install ANY JDK on Windows 7 Home Premium. When I run the install it throws an Error: 1722. I've tried looking around on Google but haven't found much. Has anyone else has this error?

I tried to install the windows7 64-bit jdk on my windows7 64-bit computer with 2 browsers, chrome and firefox. There was no difference between browsers. Then, I repeatedly installed and uninstalled many, many times, trying to figure out what was wrong.
After an easy install, I click on the jdk program to try to use it, and I get a pop-up saying something like, you have already installed this, do you want to install it again? That is all I get from the installed jdk program, there is nothing else the program will do, only give me that pop-up.
I then read and studied all the online info from all the java websites. Their website info does not mention this problem. Then I did all the you tube videos that deal with this problem. After watching a you tube video, I clicked start, and typed in cmd, and then typed javac; the message I am given is that javac is not recognized as a command.
Then, I tried to contact the java/oracle company many different ways, with chat and email, and got NO response; they are not addressing or responding to this situation in any way.
Last night, I contacted my computer company, and after speaking with them, they are saying they will go into my computer and make the necessary software changes to the windows 7 so that the java jdk will be properly working. Sounds great, but - they want to charge me a lot of $$MONEY. I got two price quotes, $80 and $89. It is not free, which is frustrating. The java download is free, but I do I have to pay to get it properly installed on my computer? Can anyone provide wise advise? Is there any way I can get it properly installed for free?
Also, someone mentioned that maybe my Norton Antivirus is preventing the proper jdk install, but I doubt it, since the norton antivirus has never before given me any problem.
Please help. Thanks!

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.

Cant install oracle 8i in windows 2003 server

hi,
I am a newbie in Oracle.While Im trying to install Oracle 8i in Windows 2003 server , setup is not running.It didn't show anything.When trying to run from auto run, after splash screen nothing came.I formatted hard disk,changed two more hard disks,.changed machine...but cant install it in no way... It is the same case in Windows XP home edition.
But it is running in one of my friend's machine(windows 2003 server)
Please help me with valuable solutions.
Thanks in advance

Did your friend install on W2003 or upgrade from an older version of the OS?
When trying to run programs on an OS that is not certified for the programs, it is hit-n-miss whether the OS actually has the support files needed for the programs.
Think about this: the Oracle environment needs OS support in the form of DLLs and other files. The contents of the DLLs are made visible as APIs. Each time Microsoft releases patches, it is possible that the APIs that Oracle used are changed. This is extremely true when a new version of the OS is released, and even more true with stripped versions such as XP Home.
If your friend installed and then applied patches, [s]he may have hit the proper API combination. If you appled patches first, you may have skootched your APIs to the point that Oracle can not longer install.
Even if you happen to get it installed, you run the risk of getting clobbered any time you install a new Microsoft patch. The risk is minimized when you use a certified combination of the OS and application.
