Lock up during install on WIN2K Advanced Server

I am trying to install Oracle8i Personal Edition ver. 8.1.7 on Windows 2000 advanced server. When I try to install using the Universal Installer it locks up about 20% of the way through, with no error message. Is anybody aware of any known issues. Please Help.
Thank you

Oops, that was 512Meg , not 512K...
I've downloaded the 9.0.1 zip 9iFS_90110.zip (105,219,938 bytes)
and tried to install on 2 separate servers with no success.
I follow the install instructions:
"1. Launch the Oracle Universal Installer from the CD, located
in the following
path:
<CD-ROM>\install\win32\setup.exe "
..but nothing happens. There is a brief flurry of activity of
the drive, but nothings shows up in the Windows Task List and it
absolutely doesn't start... on either server. One is 512K which
might be tight but the other is 1G ram which ought to be
sufficient.
I can find no log entries or error messages.
The only anomoly I can see is that the downloaded zip file is
102,754 KB, not the 105,219,938 bytes advertised.
Any suggestions?

Link error during install of O9i Application server

Hi there.
I have a problem when installing Oracle 9i Application Server rel. 1.0.2.2.0 on SuSE 7.3.

I had a similar problem when installing the database server software. This was fixed by editing the LD_SELF_CONTAINED parameter in
genclntsh. This, however, does not help in this case.

Oracle 9i on Win2K Advanced Server

I wonder if anyone had simmilar problem?
When I run installer (either through autorun or manually) the cursor turns into hourglass for few seconds and then the program terminates with no error messages.
Good old P4 installer problem right?... Except I got dual P3
Went through the usual walkaround (copy to HDD, rename simcjit.dll, etc.
Run again, same result.
Downlaoded OUI, works fine untill the point where I click install... then terminates with no error messages
I have another machine right next to the W2K P3. This one is P4 WinXP. Installer runs out of the box, no workaround necessary.
Any idea, anyone?
Any help will be very much appriciated.

No that wasn't it. I have SP4 installed.
I did find out what was crashing installer.
If you got Dell computer with NVidia Video card and have Win2K - make sure you install the "Nvidia diaplay software update" when you run your "windows update".
I got no idea what video driver got to do with Oracle installation, but it works like a charm... Uninstall Nvidia - Oracle crashes, Install it back - Oracle runs.

ZFDAgent.msi installer locks up during install

I have some laptops (Compaq 6715b laptop and a Macbook Pro) that during the install the zfdagent.msi installer process freezes. This happens on multiple different laptops of the above varieties. Hardware/memory test fine on them. Verified windows xp sp3 is fully updated & OEM drivers are the latest, even tried latest vendor specific drivers for nic/video/etc. Date on the zfdagent.msi is 9/15/09, so it should be the one from ZDM7SP1IR4_HP1.zip. No previous version of zfdagent currently installed.
Seems to work fine on other laptops & desktops, just the above are giving this issue.
Included is a zip of the installer log produced by
Novell Documentation
Any thoughts? Thank you.

Same issue with the zfdagent.msi in ZDM7SP1IR4_HP2!
I notice there are a slew of msiexec.exe running in the background, and if I
kill one of them (usually the smaller of the two run by SYSTEM) the install
completes.
Same story about killing the smaller system msiexec.exe when *uninstalling*.
Also, just tried to replicate this on my xpsp3/ie8/allupdated vmware
workstation 7 vm....it installed without issue as it should.....

Installation problem on Win2K Advanced Server

I am getting the following error while installing the Java COM bridge:
"Error while registering J2EE Client Access services COM bridge registry keys."
Any suggestions on how to work around this?

A search for this error code produced a sizeable list: http://search.java.sun.com/search/java/index.jsp?qp=&nh=10&qt=Error+while+registering+J2EE+Client+Access+services+COM+bridge+registry+keys&col=javaforums&x=31&y=11

Meta5.1 installation on Win2k adv server

I have same problem with the original message.
Meta is 5.1 and DS is 5.1 also. There seemed
no problems during installation, but after rebooting followed by the installation, the fatal error message, httpd undifined error, occurred, consequently, the meta admin instant was not loaded.
I tried other three win2k server box, but I got always same error message

I have had no problems with my Win2k advanced server. I used it to check the AD connector (which sux bigtime!!) It works... ok.. "it functions as designed" grin
Dont forget you need two packages.. Directory Server and Meta. You need to install the iPlanet/SunOne directory server first.. and then install meta 5.1
The install process of meta will remind you to use a different install folder from the DS.
on my winbox I use iDS 5.1 sp2 and meta 5.1

How to Install OPS on Windows 2000 Advance Server??

I just try to install Oracle Parallel Server on Win 2000 Advance
server, but it seems that the installation is not success.
I am using 2 Compaq Proliant ML530 PIII/Xeon as a hardware and
Windows 2000 Advance Server for Operating System.From the
vendor's tools checking, it stated thad clustering service is
already installed (ok!)
When I install Oracle Parallel Server, the default drive for
installation is already drive V (share disk), and Oracle
Parallel Server has been selected on the available product
components page, but I don't see node selection for install.
(According to Installing and Creating an Oracle Parallel Server
Database manual, I must select the nodes to which I want to
install the software from cluster node selection screen page)
Also when creating database (using Oracle database configuration
assistant), it does not displays database creation selection
(OPS or single instance configuration)as the first page, but
directly go to the second page (create/delete database).
Is the problem caused by wrong step of oracle Installation or OS
itself (ie: Cluster Manager)??
Anybody have experience on it can help me?
ps:I am using Oracle 8.1.7
Regards,
Suryanto

Please check whether you have installed the OSD layer (
Operating system dependent layer). Such layer can be obtained
from your hardware vendor ( eg compaq). You should have such
layer in your system before installing the OPS.
If you have such layer installed, you can see other nodes during
installation of Oracle and OPS.
Hope this help!

Use a different SSO Server than the one specified during install.

Hello,
I found on documentation that OAS Portal Configuration Guide would tell me how to use a different SSO Server than the one specified during install. I need to tell an existing Portal installation to use a new Identity Management infrastructure server I installed.
However, documentation does not mention anything related to that. It states that ptlconfig would do the trick, but ptlconfig instructions are not clear on how to accomplish this.
Could anyone that has done this before, help me out? Thanks in advance...

Hello jlubbers,
That is exactly what I am talking about, the ptlconfig does not model SSO components. So I assume it is incorrectly referenced on several points of documentation as a tool to work with SSO parameters or configuration.
I need to know how to tell my Portal to look at the new SSO server. If someone has done it before, please let me know.
Thanks again.

Do you have experience installing Oracle db on UNIX? It seems to me that you did not even create a group and user with proper rights. Those shell scripts couldn't run.

Nstalling Windows Home Server 2011 on a ProLiant ML350e Gen 8 Server (Nothing appearing in Operating System Selection During Install)

We just purchased Windows Home Server software that required a new server to be purchased. We went with the ProLiant350e Gen8 Server. IUpon starting up the new ProLiant server I booted from CD-Rom and got to the Windows Install program. I clicked "Install
A New Server" However, as soon as this page loads it gives me an error that says "Load Driver" "A required CD/DVD Drive Device Driver is Missing. If you have a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now." It gives
me the option to browse or click okay. Browse only brings up the (x:) Boot drive and VID. It doesn't find the driver in VID Than if I click okay it gives me a message that says "No Device Drivers were found. Make sure that the Installation media contains
the correct drivers and then click ok" I have tried to use smart provisioning but this fails as it cannot recognise the media from the DVD drive.
Thanks in advance,

You should use HP smart start DVD to install the Windows Home Server. If you are booting directly from the Windows DVD it would some times not detect the drivers because of the hardware compatibility issue. You should contact the the vendor and seek help
from him.

Error During install Exchange 2013 through Powershell on Server 2012 "Mailbox role: Client Access service"

Any advice please !!

I can't answer your question but I had a similar issue when I was trying to move our mailbox database off the C: drive. Our environment still has an Exchange 2007 server in it and when I was trying to move the database on the 2013 server, I would get
error messages saying the database does not exist. It seemed like it was trying to move the database on the 2007 server from the similar error messages that I was getting. To get around it, I deleted the database and created a new one on the drive
where we wanted it.
I discovered this when I was configuring the Antispam settings. I deleted our 2007 settings, added them to the 2013 shell, the settings appeared on our 2007 server. The shell on 2013 was making changes to 2007.
I'm not sure if there is a "Get|Set or New" command that I/we should be using when this happens. Or maybe my issues will be fixed if I just remove the Exchange 2007 server? I'm not ready to do that yet because I can't configure the spam filtering
on 2013 yet with its shell not being able to make the changes that we need.
I don't know if your environment is in coexistence mode like mine.
Hopefully someone else out there has an answer or can tell us when/how the shell can make the appropriate changes to the 2013 server. Does this happen after the 2007 server is removed?

Installing Oracle 8i client tools on Windows 2K Advanced Server SP2

I am having issues with installing Oracle 8i client tools on W2K Advanced Server SP2. The CD I have is labeled Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition, Release 3 (8.1.7) Win NT/2000 CSI# 2224188. The error message I get is that a dependency exist on having ORACLE.SWD.JRE 1.1.8.10.0 installed and the universal installer cant find it. The disk has a folder named ORACL.SWD.JRE with a subfolder named 1.1.7.30 which leads me to believe that the version of the file that shipped with this media is version 1.1.7.30.
Questions:
1. Why would Larry ship a CD with the wrong version of a file...just venting.
2. Where do I get the correct version?
3. How do I install it?
Any help would be appreciated.

If you have Pentium IV do following: find file symcjit.dll file in the oracle installation folder and rename it to symcjit.old.
try to run setup.exe located in the install/win32 folder.

Install service pack 2 or higher
Virtual memory between 800 and 900 MB ( Recommended )
if for any cause setup.exe does not make anything,
try to make click on autorun.exe
