Cant Load personal edition 8.1.5 on Windows ME

Is there a way out to install Oracle personal edition 8.1.5 on Windows ME. Is it true one can't install personal edition on Win ME. If any one had sucess, I would be glad to hear how. Thanks

Oracle doesn't support Windows ME at the moment.
If you visit some of the Oracle newsgroups, there are folks that have figured out how to install Oracle on a Windows ME box. This would be an unsupported configuration, however.

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.

Oracle 8i (8.1.7) Personal Edition on Windows Millenium wont install

I try to install Oracle 8i (8.1.7) Personal Edition on my
Windows Millenium laptop (PIII, 256MB, 30GB). When running
universal installer, after first initial screen when installer
has loaded G:\stage\products.jar (G drive is my CD drive), I got
the following message (I translated from french, so english text
may be a little bit different):
Invalid intermediate area. No top level component
for Wondows 95 is available to install from this
intermediate area.
The original french message is:
Zone intermidiaire non valide. Aucun composant de
niveau supirieur pour Windows 95 disponible pour
linstallation ` partir de cette zone intermidiaire.
I don't know what to do to correct this problem ! I searched
thru provided documentation without finding anything about this
problem. Note that the message talk about Windows 95 but my
system is a Windows Millenium (4.90.3000) with latest upadtes
from Microsoft installed and with IE5.50.
Any help appreciated...

Not only the Oracle Personal Edition but even the Oracle Client
can not be installed on WinMe. I suspect this may be because the
JVM matter. You can try to install JRE1.3.1 and see if it works.
Remember to add in path and Classpath in Autoexec.bat.

Personal edition

Can anyone explain to me how to install the personal edition of Windows ME?
Is it possible or should I just load NT or Windows 98 on my machine.

I would like to get the latest edition of personal edition for Oracle's database product. (I am a complete and utter newbie.)
I have searched and searched and cannot find the link for a download. 11g or even 10g I am sure would be fine.
Can anyone send me a link or tell me how I can find personal edition?
For learning purpose, Oracle corp allows to all download the Enterprise Edition itself from the Oracle Technology Work. This is a free download which comes with development and sort of patch and/or bug fixes would require to purchase the paid support contract. If you are newbie , you just download the software from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html#database
You can choose whatever edition you want to install from the installation media that you would download. There is no use as such to play with Personal Edition because many features are going to be working only on Enterprise Edition or on Standard Edition only.
Now, that said, if you want to purchase Personal Edition, this can be a very good investment as it would let you use the paid support portal MOS(My Oracle Support) as well. But as mentioned already, its only for Windows.

The Personal Edition includes the training database as a standard db. Just go into SQL*Plus without a host string and away you go.

Personal Edition's Password

I download the Personal Edition, but when I start the database, it ask me a password. What's the password?

Yes, I can connect just fine via SQL*Plus. I also can connect fine in the Connections tab of JDev, and going through the TopLink steps of the tutorial to load up the schema in the data model works fine with the 11gDB. I don't have any problem until I try and run run SRList.jspx, that's when I start getting password errors if connected to the 11g, but it's fine if I flip the connection to a temp 10g DB.
Is there any documentation that points out how to configure a new JDBC into Jdev for 11g DB connectivity? I've found the JDBC driver in OTN, but not much on configuring JDev to use them.

8i Personal Edition OS requirements

Can someone please tell me what OS can be used w/8i PErsonal Edition? Specifically, Windows 2000? Thanks.

To install Oracle 8i on Windows ME, before you install it, modify the WIN.INI file, adding in the section [Compatibility95] the string: Jrew=0x00080000. Reboot your system and try to install it. 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.

Install Oracle 8i (8.1.7.0.0) Personal Edition on Windows 98 (Second Edition)

Hello,
I am unable to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on my Windows 98 (Second Edition) system. I have selected "typical" install. All the files get installed (100% complete) but then the Configuration Tool install phase fails to complete when installing Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. I get the following error message :
java.lang.NullpointerException
at DropOracle.QueryDB(Compiled Code)
at DeletePanel.InitControls(Compiled Code)
at DeletePanel.<init>(DeletePanel.java:100)
at DBCreateWizard.<init>(DBCReateWizard.java:569)
at DBCreateWizard.main(DBCreateWizard.java:1422)
The system just hangs with the "in progress" message.
The previous step -
The Net8 Configuration Assistant install completes successfully
(return code 0).
If anyone can help me resolve my problem it will be greatly appreciated.
Or if you could tell me which Oracle email address (or phone number) I should address my problem to it will be appreciated. I do NOT have a Oracle Support Licence (I only purchased the evaluation CD pack).
I have installed Java 2 (JDK 1.3) in a separate directory - but I understand Oracle 8i has its own version of JRE 1.1... in its own subdirectory structure ... so my JDK 1.3 should not be interfering with the Oracle 8i installation programs.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
My actual requirement is to move the catalog database(8i) which is running on one windows server 2003 to another windows server 2003.
catalog db :8.1.7.4.0 (crman)
and we have different target databases(8i, 9i and 10g) which is using the above db as catalog db.
Here is an example:
old server name : yyyyy :
new server name : zzzzz
Under Old server we have the following oracle homes
ORACLE_HOME - 8.1.7 - which is created under the user "ora817"
ORACLE_HOME - 9.2.0.7 - which is created under the user "ora920"
and the catalog database name : CRMAN which is a 8i database but for backups it is using 9i rman executables.(because in the script for rman backup they are setting the 9i home and backing up the data's)
I need to move the same setting to the new server. I dont know how I will proceed on this. I'm in a confused state. If anyone have the same experience
please share your ideas.
Thanks, Muhammed.

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.

Differences between Oracle Personal Edition and Enterprise Edition

What are the differences between the databases of Oracle Personal Edition and the Oracle Enterprise Edition..?

I have just looked at the metalink document and see that Oracle are still blatantly lying about the availability of analytical functions.
We chose standard edition on the basis of this document and were very annoyed to find we could not use analytical functions.
The document is about 8i. Of course we are all on 9i these days aren't we ?

Personal edition vs standard edition

I am new to oracle and am planning on installing oracle (personal or standard) onto a standalone desktop in my cube for test and develop(and learn) on.
My company is currently using Enterprise on sperate database servers that eventually I will probably get access to as admin for database yet to designed.
So my question is why not just use standard edition for my test and development on instead of personal edit.? Since it is cheaper for standard.
Also what is min desktop necessary for a small test and devel database in either of the editions? I will be using NT 4.0.

the Oracle software that you have ,Personal Edition or otherwise has documentation about the features available in each version of the Server, enterprise, standard and Personal.
That should give you an idea whihc version is best for ur desktop.
Also you will find the system requrements for the installation .That should help.
