Oracle 10g Express Installation

Please help with installing Oracle 10g Express. These are the steps I've done:
1. Click "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition for Microsoft Windows"
2. Click "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Western European)
OracleXE.exe (165,332,312 bytes)
Single-byte LATIN1 database for Western European language storage, with the Database Homepage user interface in English only."
3. Log in with my email and password I created
4. File Download window appears and has the options to "Find" or "Save"
Clicking "Find" opens the following web page:
"Windows has the following information about this MIME type. This page will help you find software needed to open your file.
MIME Type: application/x-msdownload
Description: UnKnown
Windows does not recognize this MIME type.
You can search the following Web site for related software and information:
Windows Live Search
Have questions? See these Frequently Asked Questions."
Clicking "Save" - I save to desktop or documents, it saves and then opens the same web page.
Please help, I'm a college student thats just trying to get more practice with Oracle outside of class.
Thanks!

It seems the file is download without extension .exe. Because of this Windows does not know how to open it. Rename the downloaded file to OracleXE.exe and try again.

Oracle 10g Express installation fails

All,
I've been looking in the forum for a solution to my problem but I can't find one. I'm a complete novice when it comes to databases
I have a sevrer with windows 2003 sp2, 2 drives 40B+ free space and 2GB ram
No applications are running on this server
I had a previous version of 10g express edition installed on this same server, which I deleted using oracle uninstall doc and windows clean up utlity.
When trying to install Oracle 10g express edition I get past the install location, DB passoword and ports for function. during the 'copying files' part of the installation the installation just dies/exits.
the user account I'm using is local administator (not domain) on the server.
I've stopped all antivirus services.
The only error in event viewer show the following error
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( IDriverT ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Service stopped.
the install log shows the follow (last few lines of importance).

I running out of ideas. Can anyone help or shed some light as to what is happening. It can't be storage space or memory as there is nothing running on this box.
Thanks in adavnce

You might have better luck on the Oracle Express Forum, which is the only support location for the product.
Otherwise check the registry entries to make sure there is nothing that might interfere.

thz for advance.

It is important to define which OS you are working with.
Making a blind guess I will assume your are working on a windows environment (after this file fragment: "Dir=d:\oraclexe\TEST")
In order to perform a silent install on a windows environment you should:
- download the appropriate installation executable - eg. OracleXE.exe
     - download one of the silent install response file templates
     - edit the template with appropriate values for the install questions
     - run the Oracle XE installation and specify the location of the edited response file using a command similar to the following: OracleXE.exe /s /f1"<location of edited response file> /f2"<location of silent install log>

Oracle 10g Express Edition presentation

Hi everybody,
I'm an Italian university student and I have to make a presentation about Oracle 10g Express Edition for an exam. The points of this presentation will be:
- Portability
- Compatibility with SQL92 standard
- Interfaces
- Installation and hardware resources
- Costs and license
- Security
- Performance
I'm very new in the Oracle world, can anyone help me or suggest sites where I can retrieve the information I need.
Thanks

Si offende qualcuno o semplicemente capisce meno gente? Penso più la seconda, ma mi sembra più "educato" usare l'inglese, in modo che tutti capiscano.

Oracle 10g Express Edition Beta 3 ODBC Driver Always Crashes

I find that if you set up an ODBC Data Source for Oracle 10g Express Edition on Windows XP SP2 using the "Oracle in XE" driver, anything that tries to access it will crash, even the Windows ODBC Data Source Administratior if you click the "Test Connection" button.
Having clicked the button, you get a window coming up entitled "Oracle ODBC Driver" with a yellow exclamation mark in it, with no other text in the window except for an OK button.
If you press OK, then it crashes and goes through the "Please tell Microsoft about this problem" process....

Hi,
Thanks for your comment, but I can't get onto the XE forum.
I found http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/xe/forum.html which says:
Forum registration is possible only by downloading and installing Oracle Database XE. After installation, click on the "Registration" link from the Database homepage.
However I find that the "Database Homepage" does not exist.
Choosing the Oracle XE "Go To Database Home Page" takes my browser to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex which is not available even though my oracle server is running and sqlplus can talk to it.
There's definitely nothing serving on tcp port 8080, as follows:
[dcampbel@clevo]~> telnet localhost 8080
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Oracle 10g Express Edition doesn't works on Win SBS 2011

Deutsch
Hallo zusammen!
Ich ein kleines Problem mit der Installation von Oracle 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0. Zuerst, ich muss die ältere Version nehmen, weil das Programm welches dann auf Oracle zugreift sehr „sensibel“ ist und wohlmöglich mit der neueren Version 11g nicht klar kommt.
Die Version 10g habe ich nun auf einen Server mit Windows SBS 2011 Essentials SP1 64-Bit installiert. Doch leider bekomme ich nach der Installation keinen Zugriff zum Localhost 127.0.0.1:8080/apex. Weder mit IE noch mit Firefox.
Meine Frage wäre funktioniert die Version 10g auf Windows SBS 2011 mit 64-bit überhaupt und falls ja, wo müsste man eventuell in Windows noch etwas einstellen damit man Zugriff auf 127.0.0.1:8080/apex hat?
Vielen Dank vorab!

Hello at all!
I’ve some problems with the installation of Oracle 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0. At first i must take the old version of Oracle, because the program which needs Oracle ist very “sensitive” and i fear this program doesn’t cope with the new version.
So i install the version 10g on a server with Windows SBS 2011 Essentials SP1 64-Bit. Unfortunately i don't get an access to the localhost 127.0.0.1:8080/apex. I try it with IE and Firefox.
My question is does Oracle 10g works on Windows SBS 2011 64-bit and if yes, is there any setting to do on Windows to get the an access to 127.0.0.1:8080/apex?
Thank!

does Oracle 10g works on Windows SBS 2011 64-bitYou can see supported OSes in System Requirements for Windows platforms.
As always, not certified does not necessarily mean it won't work, but if you have problems...

I have a problem with oracle 10g express edition

Hello,
I have just installed oracle 10g express edition and I have a problem with the script editor. I can write anything in the window that appears below buttons undo,redo and find, It is like disabled. I use windows XP, Firefox 2.0 ( I have also tried with Iexplorer and It does not work either). I have javascript enabled.
anyone knows what is the problem?
Later,I have installed it in a virtual machine of Windows 2003 Server and It works well but I`d rather use it in my Microsoft XP
Thank you very much
Fernando Martínez

It looks like you can fix this if you replace the codearea.xbl.xml and codearea.iframe.html files in the
/i/editor folder with files from an Apex 2.2.1 installation - such as the one on apex.oracle.com.
Since I don't know what the licensing implications are, I will let you figure out the details.

Oracle 10g Express Edition / 64-bit client

hi all,
I have Oracle 10g express edition installed on a remote Vista/32-bit machine. I installed the XE Client on a Vista/64-bit and got the following error:
UnsatistifiedLinkError: ocijdbc10.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform.
So, I tried installing the Instant Client (64-bit) and I'm getting a similiar error:
UnsatistifiedLinkError: ocijdbc10.dll: Can't load IA 64-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform.
Using the XE Client, I'm able to login using sqlplus. Anyone have any ideas ??
thanks jim

Hi Jim, unless something has changed recently - the installation instructions for XE specifically state it is for a 32-bit windows operating system. Also, it does not mention using Vista. If you have access to the 10g Express forum they may have more information there for you.
