Oracle 11g Client Installing - invalid entry size

Hello,
I am trying to install the Oracle Linux 11g r2 client (Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86 ) on Fedora 17.
The following was prompted by the installer:

OS: Red Hat Linux v5
DB Version: trying to install Oracle Database Software 11g2 Enterprise Edition
I have completed successfully the preinstallation requirements as described in the installation guide for Linux.
During the installation process, at stage "Copy files" I receive the error:

Sambityes, possible; but minor challenge to manage dynamically

Signed jar: java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid entry size

Hi, I have written an applet using Java 1.4. The applet contains multiple .class and .gif files. I jared the files to produce a single .jar file with the manifest. Then I signed that jar file with jarsigner that produced a self-signed jar with the certificate. When I run the applet in IE6 on my computer (Windows XP) it works fine - I got the certificate dialog box popping up and the applet loads normally. My computer does not have a Web server installed so everything happens locally.
As soon as I move the html and signed jar files to the server and try to call it from my PC, the Java console displays the following message:
java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid entry size (expected 1342177310 but got 7728 bytes)

     at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
etc... it's huge
I have been through the forums, some people have similiar problem while trying to sign their jar, well, mine signs OK, it's just the fact that it doesn't run ... I've tried to kill the manifest and then re-sign the jar. I also tried to jar the files with -0 option - nothing worked. I do appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks

I have managed to work this one out: UNIX servers don't like jar files FTPed using ASCII. They should should be transferred in binary mode. I have installed an FTP client on my PC, switched to binary mode and re-transferred the jar file and it worked straight away.
Thanks.

How to remove Oracle 11g client from Windows 7 64-bit workstation.

When the Oracle 11g client was installed on a Windows 7 64-bit workstation, it was mistakenly installed as "Administrator".
We do not wish to do this; instead we want to install this client as a user with Administrator privileges.
PLEASE NOTE THE DIFFERENCE BEFORE REPLYING TO THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!
When I try to install the client, I get a message sending me to this directory:
F:\app\Administrator
I do not know why this message is produced; the directory it refers to DOES NOT EXIST.
My suspicion is that there extraneous entries in the registry which have not been removed; the obvious ones such as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE have been deleted.
What I believe I need is a COMPLETE list of entries placed in the registry upon installation of the Oracle client.
The obvious problem is that the Uninstall feature of Oracle client does NOT FULLY remove all of the above entries.
As a side note, the Oracle client software installation needs to be revamped to detect situations such as this and provide a course of corrective actions.

I've not done it yet with 11g, but prior editions, there are 3 things that have to be done to eradicate an oracle client installation from Windows, after running uninstaller
1) delete the registry key HKLM\software\oracle
2) delete the ORACLE_HOME directory from the file system
3) delete c:\Program Files\oracle

Danny,

at what point in time during the installation you get this error?
did you checksum the downloaded installation files? there's a checksum for every file you can download, which gives you the opportunity to check if your download wasn't corrupted.

Invalid entry size

When I install oracle 9i on linux 8, there is a problem "Invalid entry size( expected 42992435 but got 42992437 bytes)". After installation, I ran dbca to create a new database. The problem is still there. What is matter about it?

Error(5): java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid entry size (expected 2875 but

Hi all!
I'm getting this error when I try to execute my application in JDeveloper: Error(5): java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid entry size (expected 2875 but got 2845 bytes)
This started to happen after I had checkout my application to CVSNT.
Any help?
P.S. I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3 with CVSNT 2.5

My cvswrappers file (CVSNT):
*.cab -kb
*.class -kb
*.doc -kb
*.dll -kb
*.ear -kb
*.exe -kb
*.exp -kb
*.fla -kb
*.gif -kb

*.swf -kb
*.tar -kb
*.tlb -kb
*.vsd -kb
*.xls -kb
*.war -kb
*.wmz -kb
*.zip -kb Via Tortoise client I can add and commit zip (jar) files in binary format and everything is OK.
If I do that via Jdev, anybody who checkout that module from cvs have zip exception, because JDev didnt sent in binary format. How to setup that?
Thanx

Oracle 11g client installation on Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

I'm having trouble installing the Oracle 11g client installation on Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) machine.
Can Oracle 11g client even be installed on the Windows 7 Home Premium 64?
Thanks!

Hi;
As mention here home OS not supported, so as mention here again if you make some googling you can find link&blog which is mention to create WM machine, install linux(you can use OEL linux which is free and can be download from e-delivery site) than you can make 11g installation on it

Invalid entry size using internal CVS

Using internal CVS in jdev 10.1.3 i get "Invalid entry size" when a binary file is checked out from the repository. The cvs serve has the right flag set for zip file .
Any ideas?

Are you using a CVSNT server?
We have an open bug about some incompatability between the internal client and CVSNT when using wrappers.

Oracle 11g client installation on Solaris in non GUI mode

Hi,
I want to know if there is a way i can install Oracle 11g client on Solaris 10 machine in non GUI mode (ie. i want to do it from a command based terminal)
Thanks
Anup

Hi Anup
You have two ways to install it
1) Client installation without response file
Please Refer to Doc ID 885643.1
2) With Response file
Refer to the document available in Document library
Document Oracle® Database Client Installation Guide
11g Release 2 (11.2) for Solaris Operating System
Note: from 11gR2 onwards you can create a response file from GUI also and then use it later on for silent installation.
Hope this is helpful for You
Regards
Sudhir

Oracle 11g Client Installation on Ubuntu

Hi, I tried to install the Oracle 11g Client on my Dell Inspiron laptop running ubuntu, the thing is that I did every step described in the Installation Guide but when I ran the ./runInstaller file, at the installation point the assistant raises an error and prompts for an action (Ignore, Retry, Cancel), and even if I choose ignore it keeps raising the same error, then I noticed in my terminal that the errors was because ubuntu couldn't find some commands used in the installation script, and that there was no installation steps for ubuntu in my guide, so I think the Client Installer I downloaded wasn't for ubuntu... could be the reason why I can't install the client? is there a script or some way to install the client on ubuntu?
Thanks!

Unfortunately there's no (official) installation guide from Oracle,because it's not supported. If you want to continue go to the Linux Technology Center on OTN and follow the instructions for unsupported platforms (under Installation Guides):

Oracle 11g client Configuration

Hi All,
I have Oracle 11g Server installed on my Linux box.
I want to use Oracle client 11g on my windowsXP access to the Server that on my linux box.
when i go to "Oracle-oraClient11g_home1","Configuration and Migration Tools", "Administration Assistant for Windows". I couldn't find the server that i want to add.
Here is my client configuration on my windowsXP:
tnsnames file
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\app\msokadmin\product\11.1.0\client_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
ORACLE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = "myoracle server name")(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
listener file:
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: C:\app\msokadmin\product\11.1.0\client_1\network\admin\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = "it's my client Machine")(PORT = 1521))
Sqlnet file:
# sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: C:\app\msokadmin\product\11.1.0\client_1\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
# This file is actually generated by netca. But if customers choose to
# install "Software Only", this file wont exist and without the native
# authentication, they will not be able to connect to the database on NT.
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (EZCONNECT, TNSNAMES)
My windowXp is joined to the domain (ex. zzz domain).
Anyone who know and can help me about this, it will great.
Thanks to forum.

1. On your Oracle client side, you don't need listener.ora file
2. If you want to configure TNS Names on client, you run "Net Configuration Assistant" not "Administration Assistant for Windows"
3. You will not see a server drop down list like SQL Server did. No matter your join the domain or not. You need to enter the server hostname, port and Service name manually.
