JDev 9i and 10g on Windows 7

Metalink's compatibility certification table does not include these and an SR on this question was answered with a negative answer.
9.0.3.2 and 10.1.3.2 install and run on Windows 7 Home. Creating ADF BC objects and JSP (JSF) pages also work, and running those pages works in the embedded servers.
However, the Business Component Browser (ADF app module tester) freezes and spits out AWT exceptions when double clicking a view link instance to open the link's page. Double clicking a the master or detail page on the ends of that view link works fine. This is true in both versions.
Does anyone have any success or faiilure stories for Windows 7 (native) or Windows 7 Win XP-mode and these two versions?
Thanks,
Peter

Apologies in advance for bumping this thread but I promised to report back with findings.
After testing and following through the long process of a couple of SRs where we asked for help navigating through the maze of certification matrices, we came up with the following results:
- JDev 9i (9.0.3.2) creating and running an ADF web app seems to work under Win 7, but it is not supported. That last phrase is significant and means some risk. We didn't test absolutely everything.
- JDev 10.1.3.2 is also not supported but does not completely work. The ADF application module tester (Oracle Business Component Browser) freezes when you click a view link. The rest of the developer gestures had mixed success due to rendering problems. This problem occurred in 10.1.3.5 as well.
- JDev 10.1.3.2 works for creating, testing, and running an ADF web app under Windows XP mode of Win 7 -- no app module tester freeze.
About XP mode: This is a separate Win 7 install that acts much like a virtual machine. XP mode creates a C: drive separate from the Win 7 C: drive and both OSs are separate but some file sharing between them is possible. You can install XP mode only in Win 7 Professional or Ultimate. More info is here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx
- An upcoming release of 10g (10.1.3.6) may have a chance of success with Win 7 native mode. That came in more as a rumor than as something we read definitively.
- A new career path may open soon for "Oracle Certification Matrices Interpreter"

Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista

Update 12-Dec-2008: Oracle has published NOTE 559067.1 -- How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 - hence 10.1.2.3 - on Windows Vista, 24-OCT-2008 with some installation help.
Update 07-July-2008: Added text at the bottom showing how to find patchsets for Forms 10g.
Update 29-May-2008: This thread was started in November, 2007. In January, 2008, Oracle released Patch 3 for Forms 10g, which makes Forms 10g compatible with Windows Vista. As time permits I'll try to keep the information in this post up to date. Updated information will be inserted as blue text.

Original message begins here:
This is a second thread I am posting to outline the steps I have used to install Forms on a Windows Vista Home Basic laptop. The other thread describes installing Forms 6i:
Forms 6i installed and running on Windows Vista
Please read through the initial part of that post for the background. I realize Oracle has not certified Forms 10g to run on Vista, but the time has come for my associates and I to upgrade our old computers to new desktop/laptop platforms, and I would hate to acquire XP machines and be stuck with them for the next 5 years. (Note: Since first posting this message, Oracle has certified Forms 10g Patch 3 (version 10.1.2.3.0) to run on Vista) So after another person informed me that he had Forms installed and running on Vista, I went ahead and bought one. I found that as long as I set the compatibility mode to run Forms programs as Windows XP (and a few other changes), Forms 6i and 10g run quite satisfactorily.
Update 29-Jan-2008: Unfortunately, it turns out that the Forms 10g Builder running on Vista had a major flaw: If you try to develop a form, the Builder will crash if you try to compile a procedure that calls another procedure in the form that has errors. The problem is reported and described in this thread: Error compiling a form under Vista
Update 12-Mar-2008: Installing Patch 3 on Vista does not help with this problem -- the Builder still crashes in the same situation.
Update 25-July-2008: Applying Patch 7047034 has corrected the problem. See this link within this thread: Forms 10g: Installing Patch 7047034 on Windows Vista
Webutil note: I am stuck in a Forms 6i client/server world, so all my forms must run in that environment. Therefore I have not used any Webutil software, and I do not know whether that part will run under Vista.
Internet Explorer note: On Windows Vista, IE CANNOT be used to run the Web Forms runtime. It crashes immediately when you try to run a form. Instead, I can use either Firefox (Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0 Crashes with Forms 10g) or Netscape, as long as they are set to disable java. [ Correction: IE7 on Vista now runs the Forms 10g forms. You just need to add "?config=jpi" to the browser URL when starting the Web Forms session.

The Oracle Developer Suite download page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html
Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_07//doc/dl/core/B16012_04/toc.htm
The steps below are those I followed to install Forms 10g (version 10.1.2.0.2)
I. Preliminary system changes in Windows
When I started installing, I got the following error message: Install has encountered an error while
 attempting to verify your virtual memory settings.
 Please verify that the sum of the initial sizes of
 the paging files is at least 256 MB.To fix this: Go to Control Panel, System and Maintenance, View amount of RAM and processor speed (under "System"),
Advanced system settings (in left "Tasks" column), Advanced tab, Settings (under "performance"), Advanced tab:
Virtual Memory shows a "Total paging file size for all drives: 2337MB.
Click "change", Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives"
Click "custom size:", set Initial size to: 2048, Max to 4096
Click set button, then OK, get message:The changes you have made require you to restart your computer before
 they can take effect.Restart the computer.
II. Installing Forms 10g
1. Download two files from Oracle:
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1.zip (626,122,752 bytes)
ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2.zip (236,880,881 bytes)
2a. Before extracting, it is a good idea to shut down any virus protection software. It can sometimes prevent some files from being created.
2b. Extract both into the C:\oracle directory, as disk1 and disk2.
3. Using Windows Explorer, change the properties of setup.exe in the C:\oracle\disk1 folder. (In windows explorer, right click, properties, Compatibility tab.) Change the compatibility to run as Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
4. Right click setup.exe and click "Run as administrator"
5. Select "Installation type" = Complete (1.11 GB)
6. Received this message:Windows Firewall has blocked this program from
accepting incoming network connections. If you
unblock this program, it will be unblocked on all
public networks that you connect to.
C:\users\steve\appdata\local\temp\orainstall...
2007-10-29_11-59-08am\jre\1.4.2\bin\javaw.exeI clicked "Unblock"
7. Received this message: "Provide outgoing mail server information" I entered the smtp mail server that I use.
8. A summary screen displayed showing 274 products under New Installations.
I clicked the Install button.
9. Received this message: You can find a log of this install session at:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2007.....log
10. The installation completed. Installed products shows Forms 10.1.2.0.2
III. After the install completed
1. Create a shortcut to the Forms 10 Builder on the Desktop.
On the shortcut line, after the .exe, add *userid=userxxx/pwxxx@orcl* so Builder automatically logs into 10g database. If you do step 4 below (creating an easily-accessible folder to use for your forms) change the "Start in" path on the shortcut so it points to that folder. Otherwise, Forms Builder will not find referenced objects and PLL libraries when it opens a form. Also do the same on the Start, All Programs shortcut for the Forms Builder.
Edit: After applying Patch 3, the following steps are not necessary.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
Set checkbox: "Run this program as as an administrator." (Without this, FormBuilder will NOT open a PLL library.)
Click the "Show settings for all users" and change values there.
2. Copy "Start OC4J Instance" icon to desktop.
Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
The first time it runs, I got a Windows popup to unblock program named Java. I clicked "Unblock".
3. tnsnames.ora:
Rename C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
to: tnsnames_orig.ora
If you created a tnsnames.ora file for Forms 6i, just copy it to the path above. If not, do this:
Create a new tnsnames.ora file, copying entries old file on my old laptop, which contains all the connections I use.
Delete the old laptop entry, replace with new entry for the new local ORCL connection on new laptop from tnsnames file renamed from the c:\oracle\... ...\10.2.0\db_1\ path.
4. Optional: Create an easily accessible folder to store fmb files:
C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
You don't really want to keep drilling into C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms, and then find your .fmb file among the several dozen oracle-supplied files.
To create a folder named .1, you have to open a CMD.exe (Windows DOS) window, and type the Make Directory command:
MD .1
That will create the folder within the current directory -- mine defaults to C:\users\steve
Note: If you also need to use Forms 6i like me, DO NOT EVER open a .fmb file in the Forms 10 Builder from the Forms 6i folder. If you compile it, or even worse, save the .fmb, Forms 6i *cannot ever* access the file. Instead, always use the File Manager (Windows Explorer) to copy the fmb from the fmb6 folder into the fmb10 location.
5. Change the Forms 10g Default.env file using a text editor.
This file replaces all the settings originally written to the Windows Registry (GREAT idea, Oracle! I hate the registry.) No more Regedit. The default.env file is located at: (DevSuiteHome_1 path)\forms\server\default.env
Locate line with: FORMS_PATH= and add:
;C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
Add a new line:
FORMS_MMAP=FALSE
The above allows compiling an fmx while the form is running.
Add a new line:
FORMS_ROWLOCK_OPTIMIZATION=FALSE
(This fixes Oracle bug number 3949854, which prevents automatic skipping if the same value is typed over another value. TAR 4806199.993 Automatic Skip failure...) See bug 4068896
Add a new Line:
FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=False
This allows use of Query-Where window in enter query, after entering a colon in any input field. Without this, Forms returns FRM-40367: Invalid criteria in field nnn in example record. Oracle shut it down to prevent "sql injection" attacks.
6. Jiniator setup:
Run file jinit.exe in C:\oracle\DevSuiteHime_1\jinit\jinit.exe
It installs Jinitiator 1.3.1.22.
I installed it in C:\oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\
For Firefox, make sure a copy of file \bin\NPJinit13122.dll resides in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins.
For Netscape, the path is: C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\plugins
7. Browser settings
See the note above about using Firefox 2 and not Firefox 3!
In Firefox 2 go to: Tools-> Options-> Content
Uncheck the "Enable Java" checkbox
--Firefox terminates if this is not done!
Note: After my system automatically installed updates to either java or Firefox, re-check the "Enable Java" setting. I am suspicious that one of these installs re-enables java in the browser.
Also note: some web sites cannot display properly if java is disabled. Example: U.S. time website: http://www.time.gov Use Internet Explorer to view these.
In Netscape make the same changes as Firefox. Without disabling java, it also terminates when you try to run a form.
Creating a url to use in the browser:
Try this:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
If it does not work, change the 8889 port number as follows:
Open file: C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\install\portlist.ini
Note the number in line:
Oracle Developer Suite HTTP port = 8889
Use the number as the port number.
You can also change the 127.0.0.1 to the computer name:
Control Panel, System and Maintenance, See the name of this computer (under "System"). Mine is "steve-PC"
So the alternate URL is: http://steve-PC:8889/forms/frmservlet
To try out the URL, start the OC4J instance set up above. Then start either Netscape or Firefox, and enter the URL. You should get a welcome screen.
If the above URL works, start up the Forms Builder, and open Edit, Preferences. On the General tab, uncheck the "Build before running" check box (optional). On the Runtime tab, set the "Application Server URL to the url above.
To run a real form, add this to the URL after frmservlet, (with no spaces):
?form={formname}&userid={userxxx}/{passwordyyy}@{connect-string}
but replace the parts in curly braces with the appropriate values. Example:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=ABC&userid=abc123/zyx@orcl
Setting up Forms Builder to directly run a form in the browser:
Run the Forms Builder. Go to Edit, Preferences, Runtime tab.
Set the Application Server URL to:
http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
(or use whatever URL string you developed above)
Set the Web Browser Location to:
"C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\navigator.exe"
(or an equivalent to run the Firefox browser).
8. FORMSWEB.CFG file changes
The file is located at:
C:\ORA_DS_101202\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\server\formsweb.cfg
I changed the following two lines in the file, but these are my personal preferences:
separateFrame=true
lookandfeel=Generic
9. FMRWEB.RES file changes
For Oracle help: Enabling Key Mappings
The file fmrweb.res defines actions (triggers that run) when a function key is pressed while running Forms. The one released has unix-style key mapping, but I prefer keys originally mapped for Windows PC Forms users. There is a fmrpcweb.res in the same folder that can be renamed to fmrweb.res.
In the C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms path, I renamed fmrweb.res to fmrweb_orig.res.
I have a file that I prefer to use, so I put it into the folder as fmrweb.res. The contents are listed below. It is organized so the most important keys are listed alphabetically at the top (URFD column is the sort column), followed by a group of less-important keys. These are keys that are available to users, but they either would not use, or are disabled within most forms. The URFD column in the second set starts with a hex A0 character, which is a high-order space, so collates after normal alphabetic characters. (Note: If you want to copy the text below and use it, the hex A0 character has been changed by the forum software to a space. So you would need to use a text editor with hexadecimal character capabilities to replace the space with the original character. )
My file has special keys defined for F2 (I use it for a debugging Key-F2 trigger in my forms), and a "Cursor to Home" F12 function. All the rest are pretty much the same as in the released fmrpcweb.res file, only mine are organized alphabetically on the URFD column.
The Web Forms fmrweb.res file is editable using any programming editor (NOT MS Word!!!). The old Client/Server key mapping file, fmrusw.res, could only be changed using the Oracle Terminal program (and it is a pain to use).
Here is the main part of my fmrweb.res file:#

I followed your instructions and installed Developer Suite 10G on Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I have Oracle 11G DB running on the same machine.
Two points, Steve:
1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?

Can we install Oracle 8i and 10g on the same windows server?

I would like to install the Oracle server 8i and 10g on the same windows server? Is this possible.
Forgive me if this question is already asked.
Thanks in advance!
Jay.

WHICH Windows version? (There's more than one). It would be useful to be a little bit more precise (NT,2000,XP,2003, 32/64 bit) .
For NT and 2000 it is possible to have both 8i and 10g, for XP and 2003 there's no support for 8i at all.

How to install oracle Forms and Report 10g in windows XP OS

How to install oracle Forms and Report 10g in windows XP OS. Already installed oracle Database 10g in my notebook.
It is working good.
please help me this issue.
please give the steps..............
Thanks
Rajeev

Hello Frank,
for development, you need to install Oracle Developer
Suite 10g. This includes Forms and Reports.this topic interests me too, because I've downloaded Developer Suite and Database (both for 10g) from Oracle website, installed them, but I couldn't connect to a database.
What should be done for me to create a database link and be able to connect locally, in my personal Desktop computer? (Not to a server)
Once it was told me here that I should download 10g Database - I did it, and installed it, but it didn't work. Later, some of my job partners said I should install them in a sequence - that is, 1st the Developer, and 2nd the Database. But it has failed too. And I don't know how to configure a database connection.
Best regards,

Using get_application_property(CONFIG) in 6i and 10g

Hi,
for a short time, our application has to run with 6i and 10g at the same time. We have to use the new constant CONFIG also in 6i. How can I mask this constant that it works correctly. Implementing it like this doesn't work:
PROCEDURE gui$new_session
IS
pl_id ParamList;
form_name varchar2(100);
lo_connect varchar2(250);
lo_url varchar2(200);
lo_conf varchar2(50);
co_config CONSTANT NUMBER := 'CONFIG';
BEGIN
form_name := replace(pdb_anwendung.get_anw_exe('PRAG_MENUE45'), '.FMX','');
IF get_application_property(USER_INTERFACE) <> 'WEB' THEN
RUN_PRODUCT(FORMS, form_name, ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
ELSE
lo_connect := get_application_property(USERNAME)||'/'||get_application_property(PASSWORD)||'@'||get_application_property(CONNECT_STRING);
lo_conf := get_application_property(co_config);
lo_url := 'javascript:window.open("/forms/frmservlet?config='||lo_conf||'&form='||form_name||'&userid='||lo_connect||'","","location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,");self.close();';
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(lo_url,'_blank');
END IF;
END;
Unfortunately, I can't set the constant CONFIG directly into get_application_property (what is working properly used directly in 10g) because then I get a compilation error in 6i. Can somebody help me?
Regards,
Heike

Clearly...
co_config CONSTANT NUMBER := 'CONFIG';... won't work because you are assigning a varchar value to a number. CONFIG (without the quotes) is a built-in constant in Forms 10g that has a value of 221. So you could try this (notice there are no single quotes)...
co_config CONSTANT NUMBER := CONFIG;... but I doubt that will compile in 6i as CONFIG won't be defined. So maybe you could use...
co_config CONSTANT NUMBER := 221;It's bad practice to hard-code a value like that though.

Cannot get ODBC data source to talk to Oracle 10g for Windows

Problem description
I recently installed Oracle 10g on my laptop computer, which is running Windows 7. Everything went smoothly except for one crucial item: The ODBC data source I added keeps returning this error when I click the "Test Connection" button:
Testing Connection
Unable to connect
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed.
I was using the following ODBC driver
Oracle in OraDb10g_home1 (TNS Service Name = ORCL and User ID = scott)
This type of error happened, in one form or another for the three other Oracle drivers I have on my machine
Microsoft ODBC for Oracle
WinSQL Oracle
WinSQL Oracle Wire Protocol
These services are currently running (status = Started)
OractDBConsoleorcl
OracleMTSRecoveryService
OracleOraDb10g_home1iSQL*Plus
OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener
OracleServiceORCL
(NOTE: I entered the foregoing information by hand, since I was not able to copy-and-paste it. So be aware that there is a small possibility of a minor typo in case you plan to cut-and-paste it.)
If requested, I can provide the contents of these files
tnsnames.ora
sqlnet.ora
listener.ora
Other installations on the same computer
ODAC (ADO data provider for Oracle)
SQL Server 2009 Express
.NET 4
Visual Studio 2010
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK, I went ahead and upgraded to Windows 7 Professional and I STILL get the same error messages when trying to get the Oracle ODBC driver to talk to Oracle 10g. Here are some screen shots that show what happened:
1) Select ODBC driver: http://yfrog.com/f3driverselectionp
2) Configure driver: http://yfrog.com/ccoracleodbcfororaclep
3) Test connection: http://yfrog.com/1goracleodbcfororacletestp
I also get the following error when I try to run SQL*Plus from the line command, even with no parameters:
C:\Users\Bruce>sqlplus
SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface
SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly
Any suggestions as to how I might to go about diagnosing (and fixing) this problem?
Thanks,

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.

Oracle 10g on Windows 2003: instance not autostarting

I'm installing Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) on two new Windows 2003 servers, and I'm facing the same problem, even after some full re-installations, on both of them; so this issue seems to be some kind of bug related to Oracle 10g on Windows 2003 and not just some random error.
When I run the installation it completes fine, and the database instance gets created and started without any trouble; I can connect to it using the console, the Java stand-alone Enterprise Manager, SQL Plus or anything else; it works when connecting from clients, too.
As soon as the server is rebooted, Oracle services start but it just seems the instance isn't actually started: any connection is refused by the listener which complains about not knowing the supplied instance name, and the oracle.exe process only uses about 11 MB of memory, which is a sure sign it isn't doing anything useful. The instance is configured to start, the registry keys are properly set, and everything works correclty after the installation... but stops working after the first server reboot.
I tried manually stopping and starting the services, in various orders; I tried re-installing Oracle various times; I tried deleting and re-creating the database instance, both at setup time or manually after the setup was done without creating an instance, I tried anything I could think of.
The only thing I didn't try was applying patch set 10.2.0.3 to the installation, but I just can't seem to find them, even though my company has an Oracle partnership; I find Metalink just a bit too confusing.
Can someone please help?
P.S.
The servers are actually VMWare ESX virtual servers, but I just can't imagine this to be the cause of the problem. The operating system on both servers is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (not R2), italian language, with service pack 2 and all the latest updates from Windows Update. The servers are not domain members and I'm running the installation using the local Administrator account.

I don't have a physical server available now, but I really can't even imagine how the underlying hardware, be it physical or virtual, could affect this behaviour. I'm talking about the Oracle service starting while the instance isn't, this is very unlikely to have any relationship with device drivers.

Upgrade Oracle Client 8.1.7 to 10g on Windows 2003 with IIS / ASP

I am having problems after I install 10201_client_win32 on Windows 2003 which uses IIS ASP application to connect via ODBC to Oracle databases.
tnsping and m/s access can connect but for some reason my ASP application can not connect but doesn't give me any error messages just hangs during ASP database connection
I have a mixture of 8i and 10g DSN connections which I use, I'm not sure if I need to un-install 8.1.7 driver or remove all 8i ODBC to enable this to work
Should ASP be able to connect to a mix of 8 and 10g drivers?
Perhaps some DLL incompatibility or install issue.
Note it works ok on XP workstation but not so far on Win2003 server.
Any help to verify install or things to check would be appreciated
Paul

Since 8.1.7 was never certified on Windows 2003, it's entirely possible that it would cause some problems and might interfere with the 10g client.
If you are confident that the setup on your XP box is identical to the setup on the 2003 box, I would tend to suspect that the 8.1.7 client was causing the problem.

How to install SOA 10g on Windows 7 64-bit platform?

Hi Friends
How to install SOA 10g on Windows 7 64-bit platform ?
I've downloaded the 64-bit version downloadable from OTN and able to run the irca.bat on DB 10.2.0.3 however the SOA Installer fails at BPEL Config Assistant step with errors :
deploy-applications:
Deploying Oracle BPEL Process Manager ...

This is typically the result of an invalid deployer URI format being supplied, the target server not being in a started state or incorrect authentication details being supplied.
More information is available by enabling logging -- please see the Oracle Containers for J2EE Configuration and Administration Guide for details.

Hi,
We know now why SOA Installer fails...
Now we need to know why you can not start OC4J properly. What do you see in the log files?

Problems installing Oracle Developer Suite 10g in windows 7

Hi Experts;
I have installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g in windows XP, but now I change to windows 7, 64 bits, I was trying to install this product and I'm having a lot of problems, apparently this product is not compatible with windows 7.
My question is, is there any product, like Oracle Developer Suite 10g for windows 7? I was looking for in the Oracle page, and I couldn't see anything, may be the name is diferent.
Thanks for your help.
Al

First off, Oracle Developer Suite (ODS) 10g is no longer supported so Oracle has discontinued improving the product. While ODS is not certified by Oracle for use on Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit), you can install and use on Windows 7 (32/64 bit). This is a commonly asked question so a search of the forum would have given you several solutions.
The limitations of the Oracle installer are:
1. You must have Administrator rights to install.
2. Windows 7 is not a supported version (it's version 6 and it is looking for version 5), so the installer exits.
3. It's unable to recognize Windows Managed virtual memory.
To get around these limitations you must do the following:
1. Modify your Virtual Memory settings and define a specific Min and Max amount. Look at this MS article if you need help making this change: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/change-the-size-of-virtual-memory
2. You must run the Oracle installer in compatibility mode for Windows XP. To do this,
- Right-click on the setup.exe and select the Compatibility tab and click "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP SP2"
3. While still in the properties and the compatibility tab, select the option, "Run as Administrator" and click OK.
Now run the Oracle setup.exe and your installation should succeed.

Installation of an Oracle Developer Suite 10g on Windows XP doesnt work

Hello.
I try to instal Oracle Developer Suite 10g on Windows XP. I run setup.exe from DISK1 directory. Universal installer starts and Welcome screen appears. I click "Next" to "Specify file locations" screen. But when I choose Source Path and Destination Name and Path and I click "Next" again, nothing happens. In installation log I can see strange error message. You can see it in part of log bellow:
*** Welcome Page***

Can anybody help me? I am very confused about this error message.
Thanks very much.

Are you logged in as an administrator?
I wouldn't install in Program Files anyway. I'm not sure, but I have a gut feeling that Oracle doesn't like spaces in file and directory names. Install in C:\Oracle directory.

Install developer suite 10g on windows 7

hi to all,
I would like to install developer suite 10g on my notebook windows7 32-bit. It 's possible?
thanks
Silvia

Silvia,
Yes, it is possible to run Oracle Forms 10g R2 on Windows 7, although, it is not officially supported by Oracle. Oracle has only certified Forms 11g (Oracle Fusion Middleware (OFM) 11g) for Windows 7. If your development requires a supported Oracle environment, then I suggest you upgrade to OFM.
The key to setting up Forms 10g on Windows 7 is the preparation. First, the Oracle Installer doesn't recognize Windows managed virtual memory so you will need to change your system virtual memory settings from "Windows Managed" to a specific size (typically 2048mb minimum). Second, you will need to change the compatibility to "Windows XP" for the Forms 10g installer and run the installer as "Administrator" for the installation to succeed.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)
