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.

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]

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.

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?

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.
Thanks JJ

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.

Connecting to Oracle8 Personal Edition from Java

Hi,
I have Oracle8 Personal Edition installed on my system. I would like to connect to it using the java test program that comes with Oracle called Employee.java. Whenever I run the program (on the same machine as the database), I get an error message saying "Connection Refused". I am connecting to Oracle running locally using:
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:orcl",
"scott", "tiger");
Does anybody know what is wrong?

The problem is fixed. It did not work because I did not have a TNS listener running. Now it works fine.

De-installing Oracle personal edition

I've installed Oracle Personal Edition 8.1.6 on a D: drive of an NT 4.0 machine. As it turned out, I really needed to install it on C:. So, I attempted to de-install it from D:. When done with the de-installation using the Universal Installer (and it told me that all the products were removed), I rebooted and proceeded to install on the C: drive. The installer told me that there still was an instance on the D: drive. I attempted to remove all Oracle-related keys from the registry, with no success. There are two services still on the system (listener and the one for the instance). How do I cleanly delete all traces of the previous install?

first you had to stop all oracle stuff of services then you have to de-install the things. Oracle has one disadvantage is if you remove all stuff from regedit then also it'll give some problem for installation.
So better you install o.s. again do the installation it'll work prefectly.
cheers then.

Installing Oracle8i (EE) and Oracle9iAS (EE) on different machines (Windows 2000)

Hi, All:
Greetings! We are new to Oracle9iAS and we need your help.
We want to try all of the Oracle9iAS components for our Oracle8i (8.1.7) data warehouse, so we use two Windows 2000 server machines to do the test. One is for the Oracle8i database (8.1.7) and another is for the Oracle9iAS. However, we have not found the installation guide on the Oracle sites for installing Oracle8i (EE) and Oracle9iAS (EE) on different machines. We have no problem installing the Oracle8i (EE). Our questions are:
1. Is there any installation guide for installing Oracle8i (EE) and Oracle9iAS (EE) on different machines (Windows NT/2000)?
2. Should we follow the steps in the Oracle9i Application Server Installation Guide for Windows NT/2000?
3. Is there anything or tips for the installation we should know?
Please help us if you know anything about the installation. Thanks for your time and kindness!

Hello,
You can install oracle databaes and oracle 9ias on seperate machines which will have less problems indeed.
All the documentation you get in technet is the latest !!!
It is better you have 1.0.2.2 which is the latest release for Oracle 9IAS.
The steps to install Oracle 9IAS in brief are as follows !!!
> Install 8i database (which is not necessary in your case), but notedown the hostname, port, sid etc
> Install 9IAS which requires the info of database which you have noted in step 1
Follow the Installation documentation provided with Oracle 9IAS 1.0.2.2 which has screen shots !!!
Also in technet a new folder 'Oracle9i by Example: Tutorial' has been added which has installation instructions !!!
Hope this helps !!!

You need to install Rosetta from a OSX 10.6 install disk.

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>
