Istalling oracle 11g on windows vista

Hi,
i need to install oracle 11g on windows vista, unfortunately i cannot able do to that, becase after double cliking on the setup a messege like this one came out:
OUI-10151: There was an error while loading library.generalQueries. Stop installation of all products, Stop installation on this component.
I've found on internet some work around of this problem BUT only on linux machine, no one as telling me some way to fix my problem on windows vista.
I also tried using oui to deinstall any previews installed version but oiu tell me that there's not any installation of oracle.
any suggest is really appreciate
regards
Francesco

By 11g I am assuming you mean 11.1.0.6 (11gR1). Pl post which Vista version you are using - 11gR1 is certified to be installed only on Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions.

ChangePerm.sh file does not exist in Oracle 11g installation

Hi All,
I have done successful Oracle 11g installation. After installation I noticed that Oracle 11g/installation does not have changePerm.sh file. Did anyone of you seen that?
Without executing changeperm.sh file, the binary files have 751 permission level. ChangePerm.sh script make change in file permission to 755.
Oracle support is not answering me why there was no changePerm.sh file under Oracle_home/install directory.
Thoughts/suggestions..
Thank you
Suresh

I'm not finding this to be the case reliably. I have both a 10G and an 11G install on one particular machine and the 11G installer initially creates the directories with a 755 permission, then right before the prompt to run root.sh, and at the same time it locks down any 10G home it finds (someone please explain that!) it locks down the 11G home too.
In true Murphy tradition, this hasn't happened on any of my testing machines, just my production.
Whatever silly contrived mechanism Oracle wrote to re-lock 10G when installing 11G is also locking down my 11G.

ORACLE 11G INSTALLATION PROBLEM ON WIN7 32 bit

okay i intalled the 11g edition but quite unsuccesfully . This is the view of start menu entry
start->allprograms->oracle 11g express edition->empty
Well, it shouldn't be like this !
Can't figure out why ?

i have the folder named oracleexe and app folder inside it . so this is what i should get as installed folders i guess !!Yes, that's what you can expect after a successful installation. Take a look in the direct ".\oracle\product\11.2.0\server" below the "app" directory. Do you see some url-link files there? (Despite several other subdirectories, of course...)
Two of them should be the "Database_homepage" and "Get_Started". Try to call them.
And Oracle XE service is started . Well, that's great. Sounds like all you lack is the links in you task menu.
i couldn't quite get you here . which software/ programs are you referring to ? The start menu entry created is shown already as it is in the problem above and installation folders are there as i mentioned above . what else ,you refferring to ?I just wanted to check whether the installer has registered the database in the Windows list. This is part of a successful installation and would offer you the opporunity to uninstall (and perhaps reinstall) the whole package.
Also , i am not sure which lOG file to check there because there are a lot of them !!As your database seems to be running as noted above, it doesn't seem to be necessary to go into these details.
You should be able to access your database, either by using the links mentioned above, or, if these failed to be created, by calling the URLs by hand, e.g.
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4950 for "Get_Started" and
http://127.0.0.1:8080/htmldb for the "Database_homepage".
You should also be able to use the command line tool by calling sqlplus from a command window.
If that doesn't satisfy you or you face any errors, you could try to reinstall.

Oracle 11g Installation How to select Database Character Set

Hi,
I am Installing oracle 11g R2. After installation I had verified the character set it was AL16UTF16 but I wants to set AL32UTF8 charater set at the time of oracle installation only. I can't see the character set setting opetion at the time of installation because I am selecting the installation option " Install database softerware only" and after installation of oracle software manually I am creating the database. Please help me how can I set the character set at the time of oracle installation or at the time of database creation.
My question is-
How can I set the AL32UTF8 character set in above scenario?
Why It is showing AL16UTF16 character set even I did not define any thing?

But is there any choice to set the NLS_CHARACTERSET at the time of manually database creation. Actually For creating the database i am using one shell script for seting the parameter values in init.ora file so can I set the parameter at that level(at the time of creating init.ora using manually database creation). like

Make sure you unzip both zipfiles into the SAME directory, e.g.:
cd /<whatever>
$ unzip aix.ppc64_11gR1_database_1of2.zip
$ unzip aix.ppc64_11gR1_database_2of2.zip

Oracle 11g installation on Linux Enterprise 5 remains hanging at 43%!

Hi all,
as per Subject, I have installed a Linux Enterprise 5 OS downloaded by Oracle Download Center and it is now installed following the nice Guide here.
I have added the missing Linux packages and set up the kernel parameters as per Guide quoted above.
If I launch the Oracle installation, it completes the packages and parameters check fine, install goes fine until 43% and then hangs.
It's not freezing as the Installation window shows ongoing animations, if I try to stop installation it responds immediately asking for confirmation.
It just hangs up!
The Linux machine is actually on a VMWare image on a MacOS Leopard host.
I have tried it on my laptop and desktop as well, but the hang point keeps being the same.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

I will copy more that last 10 lines as last 10 lines do not look too descriptive to me.
This will contain also my Installation abort.

Oracle 11g installation Kernel version error

Hi
We are inprocess of installing oracle 11g on solaris 5.10. Our current Solaris 10 is with kernel version (5.10-2008.03.24.13.19). . It requires kernel version (5.10-2008.10). What patch need to be installed for us to achieve this. Please advice.
The following are the operating system requirements for Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2):
* Solaris 10 U6 (5.10-2008.10)
When I check with my OS team they says the currently have kernel patch ID 142909-17, which already Solaris 10 U9.Thus this Domain already fulfill the requirement

You could post to the Installation forum : Database Installation
But you should also log an SR with Oracle Support.

Oracle 11g installation on Oracle Enterprise Linux, 64bit version.

Hi
I want to install oracle 11g on Oracle Enterprise Linux, 64bit version.
Do I need to set kernel parameters in this operating system, since it is not standart Linux editions.
or
Can I have a step by step documentation for installing oracle 11g on this operating system?

Hello,
Yes you do need to set kernal parameters in order to meet pre-requisites, otherwise your installation will fail and oracle might not work or unstable.

I used several versions on Linux but not that one.
That said the error :

So you are missing at least one of the "extra" packages needed for an Oracle install.
I found some posts that make me believe Cent 6 isn't quite ready for Oracle 11 :

Upgrade from Oracle 8i in Win98 to Oracle 11g in Window Vista

Hi,
I have an existing system that runs in Window98 using Oracle 8i as database. We are planning to convert the system from using Oracle 8i to 11g, and this new converted system will be running in Window Vista.
What I have in mind is doing export and import from Oracle 8i to 11g, but it is quite troublesome. Is there anyway I can upgrade the db to 11g in Window Vista?

Hi,
When upgrading from 8i to 11g, you cannot perform direct upgrade anyway.
If you want to upgrade (not using exp/imp), you can install 9i (9.2.0.4 and up) on the win98 machine, and upgrade the database to 9i.
Then you can take the database files, copy them (like cold backup) to the vista server, and you will able to upgrade it to 11g.
Note that you cannot use the DBUA in this scenario, you will have to upgrade it manually.
