ODBC: Oracle Universal Installer Crash on Windows 7 (Workaround found)

Clicking 'next' on first screen in the 10g installer makes the installer crash, showing a message 'Abnormal program termination. An internal error has occurred. Please provide the following files to Oracle Support: "Unknown" "Unknown" "Unknown". Goal for the moment is just to install ODBC. The read me in the ODBC driver 10.2.0.2.0 .exe says: This section assumes the following: Oracle Universal Installer shipping with 10.2.0.0.0 has already been installed on your system. Presuming that 10.2.0.0.0 is referring to another ODBC installer, this exe is not available, so how to install this? Since the installer from 10g is crashing, tried older ones, without success. What is going on? Is it a windows setting somewhere? How to just simply install the Oracle ODBC? Really no problems installing any other software. Avoiding of space in pathnames does not make any difference. Selecting optionbutton 'basic installation' and 'advanced installation' in installer gui both crash when continuing with 'next' ('advanced' does not have any values in that stage).

How to just simply install the Oracle ODBC?Probably what you're after is an oracle client install, no need to install a database if you just want ODBC. There is a small Express client on the XE download page, although I'm not sure if it includes ODBC drivers. The full 11g client software is at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/112010_win32soft.html
There is a support note 781054.1, if you're on 64-bit hardware with some how-tos on getting to the 32 bit ODBC drivers.

Oracle Installer crashes in Windows XP attempting to install 10g database

I downloaded the file "10201_database_win32.zip" from oracle, and attempted to install it on a Windows XP Professional 2002 with SP2. It crashes immediately, giving me no information at all. It starts with messages:
No pre-requisite checks found in oraparam.ini, no system pre-requisite checks will be executed.
Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from C:\DOCUME~1\Windows\LOCALS~1\Temp\OraInstall2006-06-21_08046022PM. Please wait ...
Immediately after that, I get the windows messagebox saying:
oui.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
The only other information I can find is the InstallActions log file, which contains:
Using paramFile: C:\Documents and Settings\Windows\My Documents\Doug\Internet Updates\Oracle\10201_database_win32\database\install\oraparam.ini
No pre-requisite checks found in oraparam.ini, no system pre-requisite checks will be executed.

If anybody can give me any help, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

The Installer crashes, then it surely should be something to do with memory issue...or the explorer.
Is your windows xp stable?
plus do you have enough free space in your c drive ?!
It has nothing to do with the OS admin..login...
The installer is exiting and should be an OS resource issue..
i would have checked for space and memory ...then looked at my OS. Any back ground crazy internet programs running....
I would look at OS since oracle successfully installs in windows xp without a hitch!

ODBC 8.1.7.4 - Oracle Universal Installer v. 1.7.1.3.0

Hi all,
Situation
I'm trying to install ODBC 8.1.7.4 - however when having selected the products.jar the OUI (1.7.0.something) says that this package needs OUI 1.7.1.3.0 to be installed.
Problem
The OSP (which is the only component I can find on OTN that has the OUI) on the OTN download - is version 1.7.0.something).
Does anyone know where to get the latest - required - OUI ??
Extra Q
Do I need more than the ODBC to connect from a W2K to a SUN based Oracle ?
(I saw something about Net8 - but have no clue if that's part of the ODBC package)
Best regards and (urgent :-) thanks
Vitus

The ODBC driver relies on a lot of different libraries that are part of the Oracle client. The Net8 protocol, the NLS libraries, etc. in addition to the Oracle Universal Installer. If you do a custom install of the Oracle client, you can get the minimal set of libraries required by the ODBC driver.
Client/ server systems like ODBC, however, aren't designed to be particularly lightweight. A protocol like JDBC, which is designed to be used with thin clients, is designed to be used without the Oracle client.

Oracle Universal Installer tries to install an older Java Runtime

I downloaded the Rdb ODBC Driver for Windows with Oracle Universal Installer. The Installer would install JRE 1.3 but I already have 1.5.
How can I avoid this?
Thank you.

I installed the ODBC Driver with the Oracle Universal Installer.
Now I have the directory C:\Programme\Oracle\jre\1.3.1. This means that the installer has not detect my Java 5 installation and uses its own JRE 1.3.
I remains one question:
Who has done this?

Oracle 10g Installation issue on Windows 7

Hi,
I tried to install Oracle 10g downloaded from the below link on my laptop which runs in Windows 7.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/10204-winx64-vista-win2k8-082253.html
The Oracle version is 10g release 2 for windows 7. I got this DB version no. for Windows 7 from this forum only. But still, I got the error message stated below and unable to install 10g.
------------------------------------------------------ Error --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could you please let me know how I can fix this issue? Or is there any other oracle 10g release/patch to fix this issue? I need to install only Oracle 10g and not 11g.
Also, I need to install Oracle Forms 10g too.
It would be great if you could guide me on installing these two softwares in my laptop.
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks,

Welcome to the forums !
This issue has been discussed many times before. Pl use the search feature. The only versions supported in Win 7 (Professional or higher) are 10.2.0.5 and 11gR2. 10.2.0.5 is only available on My Oracle Support, while 11gR2 can be downloaded for free from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html

P6v7 Web Services Oracle Universal Installer Error Setting Java_Home veriab

Hi,
I am installing Primavera P6 v7 web serivces on a Ms Windows 2003 SP2 server machine but it gives error "error setting Java_Home environment variable" every time i run the oracle universal installer setup of P6 v7 web services. I have already installed Java JRE1.6.0_14 and set the JAVA_HOME variables in both system and user variables. I have also tried manually setting path of JAVA during setup but no luck so far everytime same error. I have been looking at the log file in oracle inventory folder but did not find any hint to resolve the issue.
Please suggest a solution or workaround.
Regards,
Shahid

r u using 32bit or 64bit java?? better to use 32 bit java. Create 3 variable for EPPM P6
1) variable name: JAVA_HOME Value: c:\Java32\JRE1.6.0_27
2) variable name: JRE_Location value: c:\Java32\jdk.1.6.0_27\jre
3) variable name: p6_java_home value: c:\Java32\jdk.1.6.0_27

"Oracle Universal Installer" instead of "Oracle Webcenter Suite 10.1.3.2.0"

Hi,
I've installed HTTP_Server from [Oracle HTTP Server (Apache 2.0) (10.1.3.3.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)|http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111060_win32soft.html] ; unfortunately, I was unable to control the installation process (select advanced install, password, hostname, port number...), because I got the "Oracle Universal Installer" instead of the "Oracle Webcenter Suite 10.1.3.2.0 Installation" screen, as shown in the installation documentation.
Although I suspect I'll be able to configure via the various configuration files, I've had to install every single component, instead of just the one I need. Has anyone encountered the same problem and know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Chris.

Actually, my problem is that I was not prompted to choose between basic and advanced; that's in the "Oracle Webcenter Suite 10.1.3.2.0 Installation" screens, as seen in the installation instructions. But the "Oracle Universal Installer" screen that I get when I click setup.exe doesn't give you that choice.
This isn't actually a big deal, because HTTP_Server was still correctly installed, but I had to configure it manually. I'm just trying to figure out why it is that I didn't get the correct installer.
Does anyone know how I can get the "Oracle Webcenter Suite 10.1.3.2.0 Installation" application instead of the "Oracle Universal Installer"?

Oracle Universal Installer (10.1.0.4) Hangs

I am trying to remove 'Oracle Application Server - Reports and Forms Services' using Oracle Universal Installer (10.1.0.4)
OS: Windows XP professional
folder: c:\oracle\FRHome_1
The uninstaller hangs and progress remains 0%.
Kindly let me know how to remove the software.

Are you trying to remove the specific components? or are you trying to remove the whole installation? Well bear in mind that removing a component is not as easy as removing it from the OUI, this has also been registered against the Identity Management (IM), so you must de-register it first, prior to attempt to remove it. If you just deinstall it, the OID will still be aware it has the component and you won't be able to reinstall it.
Proceeding directly to remove regedit entries without considering the previously recommendations may leave your installation corrupted and you may have to reinstall your Infrastructure (IS) and your Middle Tier (MT)

Oracle Universal Installer response files and platform independency

Hi all,
The Oracle Universal Installer is a platform-independent system, to what extent are Oracle Universal Installer response files platform-independent? For sure it's not completely platform-independent, because path definitions aren't portable - Windows versus Linux for example. My hope is that all possible variables within response files are exactly the same as on different platforms. Also the possible values for the variables should be portable, except for the path definitions, of course.
Can anyone confirm that my thoughts are true?

Hi,
This problem frequently occurs because of the wrong DISPLAY settings. Please perform the steps on a X-term terminal screen;
1) under root user
2) xhost +
3) su - ora<sid>
4) echo $DISPLAY
5) setenv DISPLAY <client ip>:(result of echo $DISPLAY) (for example setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.100:0.0)
6) xclock (test X-Client)
If it works then you will be able to run "./runInstaller", for example
cd /oracle/stage/102_64/database/Disk1/SAP
./RUNINSTALLER
You can check the [installation guide|https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000359232008E], also. Search for "4.4.3 Running the Oracle Universal Installer" title and read the details,

Oracle Universal Installer doesn't run

Hi,
I had Installed oracle 9i and Oracle 8i (firstly) on the same machine and the same drive, then I deinstall oracle9i using Oracle Universal Installer. Some months later I need to reinstall Oracle 9i but the Oracle Universal Installer doesn't run even on the Installation CD (CD_Drive:\Install\win32\setup.exe).
Can you please help me to fix that.
Thanks,

JVM's JIT of an old Oracle Installer version has a bug, so it crash in PIV based computers. A work around is to copy CD to hard disk and delete SYMCJIT.DLL file, and start installer again. I hope this helps.

Cygwin X Server to run Oracle Universal Installer

Hi,
I used to run Oracle Universal Installer on my unix server using an Exceed X Server on my Windows laptop. Recently my laptop was upgraded to Windows 7 and I can no longer use my version of Exceed on this version of Windows.
Therefore I was going to try and use the freeware Cygwin X Server on my laptop instead.
I connected to the Cygwin X Server site http://x.cygwin.com/ - I wasn't sure what to download, so I downloaded the following using their setup.exe program ( which gets downloaded to my windows pc )
- X Console
- Xhost
- Xinit
- Xorg Server
- XTerm
Q1. In order to run the Oracle OUI, I am not sure I needed anything other than Xorg Server - is that correct ? I am not really sure what the others do
Q2. I was surprised when I downloaded these components they were supplied as packages with an extension of *.tar.bz2. To me these are components you would not / could not install onto a windows pc ?
All I am simply trying to is - to run an X Server solution ( in this case I was hoping Cygwin ) on my pc, set the $DISPLAY ( as approrpiate ) on my backend unix server, launch the OUI on the unix server and have the OUI appear on the X Server running on my pc.
But alas I am a bit stuck around getting the correct Cygwin X Server solution for my pc
Any ideas where I am gong wrong ?
thanks,
Jim

JimAs sb alluded to by giving a link to the site, you can use xming as your x-server. It's free, lightweight, and drop-dead simple to install. No bells and whistles. Just a solid x-server.
And once I discovered x11 port forwarding, I no longer even have to set DISPLAY to match the ever-changing DHCP-assigned ip address of my pc. I use PuTTY as my ssh client, and configure the session to allow x11 port forwarding. I can't remember the last time I had to monkey around with DISPLAY.
