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]

  • 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.

    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.

  • Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows 8.0.6

    I’m a naïve user in Oracle and would like to know the following details from the Gurus.
    Any information in this regard will be highly appreciated !
    We are trying to use Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows 8.0.6 for some specific reason.
    Some general doubts regarding the installation.
    1.     Is any installation specific to the OS language (English/Japanese) ?
    2.     Say, if I get an installation for Windows, would I be able to use the same for a Japanese Windows version?
    3.     During the installation, choose the default language as Japanese?
    Also, if we would need to install Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows 8.0.6 in a Japanese OS, what should we do?
    Can we procure a license for the same? Oracle8 Enterprise Edition for Windows 8.0.6
    Can we get the media?
    Please advice. Many thanks in advance.

    The best way to arrange this is to contact Oracle sales and talk very nice to them.
    You are asking to have someone provide you with a piece of software that was very full of bugs and made obsolete before year 2000. Oracle will probably not be very happy to do that.
    Besides, Oracle is so upward compatible that - unless you depend on the bugs - you should be able to use any currently supported version. Such as Oracle9i or Oracle10g.

  • Installing Designer 6 on NT With Oracle8 Personal Edition

    According to the Designer 6 For Windows NT installation guide, I can have Personal Oracle 8.0.4 as a local database for use with Designer 6. However I am unable to successfully install these due to:
    1. Designer and the Pre-Configured Repository must reside in the default_home directory.
    2. The Pre-Configured Repository must reside in the same Oracle Home Directory as the local database - therefore Personal Oracle8 must reside in the default_home directory also.
    3. Designer needs the 8.0.5 required support files whereas Oracle8 Personal Edition needs the 8.0.4 required support files to work.
    Thus, is my problem. As I can not install both 8.0.4 and 8.0.5 support files into the same Oracle home, how can I get to use Designer 6 with a local 8.0.4 database on NT, as it suggests in the Designer installation guide?
    null

    These are the steps .
    1. First Yout NT server must have Nt ver.4 with Service pack 5 built in
    2.All Y have to do is to Installed Web App
    Server on Different Physical location(With Oracle 8i) as different NT user with administrative privileges(Different from the user Y installed 8i RDBMS ).
    3. Set TNS_ADMIN parameter for NT Server.
    4.Set up the tnsname.ora and sqlnet.ora file
    on web app home ,(ie %ORACLE_HOME%\net80\admin ) as same as those on your Oracle DB HOme ,(ie %ORACLE_HOME%/network/admin )
    After this if You follow the installation guide ,Post installation task ,
    Every thing will work..
    Good luck ..

    Thanks. A couple of questions. Did you place the OAS in separate homes? If yes did you set enviromental variablesin System and user. Last Did you have to set the IP address in the winnt\system32\drivers\host.
    Still have not got it working. It seems to have installed. The node Listners is running. It could be a problem with my browser setup. Any ideas.

  • Can't install Oracle 8.1.7 Personal Edition on Windows ME

    I am trying to install "Oracle 8.1.7 Personal Edition for Windows 98" on Windows ME. I can't install it. During the install on the Oracle Universal Intaller, on the part where it asks for the Source and Destination, after I click "Next" to install, it gives me a error message: "Invalid staging area. There are no top level components for Windows 95 available for install from this staging area". So I can't proceed with the installation.
    The computer I am using is a Pentium 3, 700mhz, 128mb Ram.
    On my other computer, it is a Dell Dimension Pentium 4, 1.3 GHz, 128mb ram. When I attempt to install it, while running the D:\setup.exe, before it even loads the install program, it gives me the error message: "Jrew has caused an error in JAVAI.DLL. Jrew will now close. If you continue to experience problems, try restarting your computer". Restarting my computer does not solve the problem.
    Can anyone help me out, I really would appreciate it. Thank you.

    There is supposedly a fix for this 'stage error' but I tried one of them and it doesn't work. What i have found is that you either create a dual boot Win ME/(98 or 2000 pro) or dump ME as I did and run 98 or 2000 instead. It is painful but unfortunately, seeming necessary. I made it a bit less painful by using Symantec Works to back up all of my other loaded APPS (and Registry entries) Most reloaded to 98 even though they were running in ME.
    Good luck.

  • Problem With Oracle Personal Edition On Windows XP

    I am trying to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on Windows XP Professional, Installation was successful. But when I try to login through SQL plus it says "ORACLE not available" User Id I used is Scott/Tiger and System Manager.
    Even I checked the services started but some of the Oracle services are still in "starting" staus
    Can any one help me in this?

    Those 'starting' services must switch to 'started' before things will start to happen.
    What are the machine specs? Hopefully you have a decent CPU speed (>500MHz) and amount opf memory (>512M RAM) or things can be unsufferably slow.
    Is there a particularily good reason for using Oracle8i? After all, it is an unsupported and obsolete version of the database.

  • 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>

    Hi,
    I am Ritesh Kothari.Currently doing my MS in computer science from Ohio University. I want to install Oracle Personal Edition on my Win98 machine. Currently I have 1 GB of hard disk free.I have downloaded the Oracle9i Personal Edition Release 9.0.1.1.0 for Microsoft Windows 98

    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.
