Oracle 8.1.6 EE install to Windows 2000

Using Windows 2000 Advanced Server on a Compaq Proliant 3000, fresh install. Install Oracle 8iR2 (8.1.6) Enterprise Edition, accept default locations, choose typical install. Using the download from the Oracle Technet download pages (have tried downloading several times to make sure) and beginning from autorun.exe.
It doesn't install. I've tried on other machines too. I get an I/O error at the Intermedia install stage (it displays vszip.dll as the current file).
I can't think of anything I'm doing wrong and I've tried on other boxes and with custom install settings.
Any ideas appreciated?

Hi,
I'm new with Oracle, and I'm having problems installing the database v8i on Windows XP-Home. My classmates have successfully installed it with both XP-Pro and XP-Home. The problem is that when I click on the Install icon, the disk spins for a while, then nothing happens, and the installation doesn't even start. When I list the files on the CD and click on the setup file and select Run from the pull down menu, and enter my user name (which has administrator privileges) and password, Oracle opens a window with a message that the registry cannot be modified because I don't have permissions, and closes down.
I know the CD is good, because I tried in a different computer. Are there any settings on Windows that I'm missing? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Oracle App Server 9.0.2 with Windows 2000 Svc Pack 4

DB version required for Content DB install on windows 2000/2003

Hello,
I looked at the certification matrix for content db and regarding the database it looks strange :
o Oracle RDBMS 11.1.0.6.0 (or higher) (see Note#1)
o Oracle RDBMS 10.2.0.2 (or higher)
o Oracle RDBMS 10.1.0.5 (or higher)
I don't know what version should I download in order to install on windows 2000/2003.
the single version available for windows (with the required version number) on the download page of the database is
"Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) for Microsoft Windows Vista"
which is built especially for Vista. or is it ok to use it for 2000/2003 ?
for example in 10g release 1 I don't see any version >= 10.1.0.5. the greatest is 10.1.0.3. is it normal ? or do I misunderstood something ?
thanks,
Florin

We had a similar problem when trying to pre-install the JRE, then run a web page with an applet in it. Apparently there is a bug in the JRE installer (1.3.1_01) that puts extraneous values into the registry (it's in the bug database somewhere). As a work-around, you can delete those values out of the registry. I had to do this in our installer with a simple C++ program.
Delete the INF values under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Code Store Database\Distribution Units\{8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93}\DownloadInformation
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Code Store Database\Distribution Units\{CAFEEFAC-0013-0001-0001-ABCDEFFEDCBA}\DownloadInformation
('0013-0001-0001' <==> JRE 1.3.1_01. Replace with your version)
Hope this helps!

Installling Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 on Windows 2000

Hello,
I am not able to install Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 on WIndows 2000(service pack 2).
While installing Oracle 9i on Windows 2000(service pack 2), installer exits without showing or logging any error.
Does anybody know the reason/workaround for this problem?
Thanks.
Regards,
Hemant

how often did you try to install ?
maybe some log files of your previous installations
reside in your personal folder.
If the installer finds this information it will terminate
without warnings and errors.
Cheers,
Udo

Can I install Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition on Windows 2000 Professional

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have Windows 2000 professional edition loaded on my PC and I'm not sure what it allows. Can I load Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition of the database on this operating system, or do I need to load windows 2000 server software.
Thanks
Ryan

Its a problem with oracle and pentium 4 processors actually. The solution involves renaming or deleting the symcjit.dll in the 8i installation package after you've copied the whole Cd onto your HDD!
I've tried this and it install OK, with a few errors along the way, now I can't get the apache server working, nor on the 9i AS that I've installed as well. Let me know if you get anything useful please?

How to install Oracle 9i EE on a clustered server (Windows 2000)

I need to install Oracle 9i on Clustered server (Windows 2000 Server)with Oracle Fail safe. There are 2 Nodes and one Clustered disk with RAID 5.
The documentation from Oracle is NOT very helpful as it does not specify the installation of Oracle DB on the 2 nodes.Where will the control files reside etc for each node.
Any inputs will be highly appreciated
Thanks
Masih

Hi,
reply to my own question:
In the docs provided with the downloads for Oracle Database Server 9i x64, I found that this version requires either
- Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition for 64-Bit Itanium 2 Systems
or
- Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition for 64-Bit Itanium 2 Systems
So I guess, the only X64 platform being supported under Windows Server 2003 (both Datacenter / Enterprise Editions) is Itanium CPUs ...
... though this is not (!!!) clearly stated in the download link (other/newer versions are listed more precisely - I guess it's a matter of an old link: no Intel Xeon / AMD Opterons were available (???) when Oracle 9i database server was published).
So I'll give it a try with 10g database server ;-)))

Oracle-10g RAC on VMware installed on Windows-7(Host)

Hi,
My host OS is Windows-7. Docs. posted on this forum for RAC on VMware says: your Host OS should be Centos OS and in which you will install VMware and Client tools also. In this way u can clone another RAC2 machine.
But I have Oracle VM Virtual Box installed on Windows-7. Another is VMware Player installed on Windows-7.
I want to install Oracle-10g RAC on my Laptop. Please any suggestions or Docs. related to this.

while this is a documentation of 11gR2 it gives enough information on how to setup a RAC in a VBox environment:

Oracle BI Suite 10.1.3.2.0 does not install on Windows 2000

hi all,
I downloaded the two zip files from Oracle site and extracted on d:\biee.
I launched the setup.exe program under d:\orabiee\Windows\Server\Oracle_Business_Intelligence.
I specified the Complete installation and after creating the OracleBI folder, the installation hungs without any message.
I checked out the install.log file and I found this entry:
STACK_TRACE: 7

As a matter of fact, the C:\orabiee\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\bin folder does not exist (and, of course neither the oc4j.cmd program).
Is there any path/workaround?
Thanx in advance
Viking

Hi Viking
First things first. Here are some things to consider:
1. If using Windows 2000, you need to be using Windows 2000 Professional with SP4.
2. You should not have any other Oracle software running during this install.
3. You also not have ORACLE_HOME, TNS_ADMIN or any of the other Oracle environment variables set.
4. You need to be a local administrator on the machine.
5. You should not have a firewall enabled.
6. You need to have a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) set for the machine.
7. The FQDN should be set in the HOSTS file which you can find in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
8. You need to check the certification matrix for 10.1.3.2.0 and make sure it is available for Windows 2000 and that there are no other prerequisites?
Does any of this help?
Regards
Michael

Intel says there is a bug in oracle's OUI as well other swing based programs. The solution is to copy the CD to local drive and add -nojit as first parameter to JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS e.g. JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS="-nojit -mx32m"
This will enable OUI to run. Even after installing oracle Net80 conf. asst won't start due to same reason.
Go to HOME\admin\tools\ and edit netca.cl and netasst.cl to add same -nojit before -classpath.
Do this for every tool that gives this prob such DBA studio...

Automatic Startup of Oracle 8.1.6.0 on MS Windows 2000

Problem: Database not starting automatically.
OracleService<SID> states "starting" instead of "started".
Database can be opened manually via DBA Studio or via sql command line.
O/S: W2k Service Pack 2
RDBMS Version: Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 for Windows
Tasks previously completed to remedy the problem with no satisfactory results.
The OracleService<SID> deleted and reinstalled using oradim.exe.
Oracle Service startup set to "Automatic";
Registry checked to ensure the path is correct for the parameter file. Path is over 39 characters (another post said older versions could handle only 39 chars - is this still a problem in 8i).
Has anyone else experienced this problem and subsequently resolved it or developed a work-a-round.
Thanks

Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 For Windows/2000 HTTP server

I can not start Oracle HTTP Server after Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 installation . I am getting error : The application or DLL $ORA_HOME\Apache\JServ\ApacheModuleJServ.dll is not a Valid Windows Image . Bad dll file in install disks ?
File ApacheModuleJServ.dll size 54K . Please send a valid ApacheModuleJServ.dll .

The Calendar SDK was only certified for the platforms you list, although I don't expect you would encounter any platform-specific problems using it on Windows 2000 or XP. That said, those platforms are not officially supported for 9.0.4.2, with all that implies.
The upcoming 9.0.5 release should be certified for Windows 2000 (only - and, of course, subject to change up until it actually ships).

Oracle 8.1.7 for Unix and Windows 2000 Active Directory

Is it possible to integrate the users and passwords of an Oracle Database running on Solaris with the users and passwords defined in a Windows 2000 Active Directory? What are the requirements and the necesary steps?
I've read the documentation and it shows how to do it if you install Oracle in a Windows 2000 Server, but it does not mention about installing it in any kind of Unix.

You should consider to base your firm security and central user repository on REALLY SECURE and ROBUST product technology. Not on Windows 2000 Active Directory. Win2K AD is known to be slow and insecure. If you have Oracle on Solaris your data is secure and next step is to move user accounts to real user repository. It may be one of well-known LDAP servers. Try to read some materials on CERT Coordination Center (http://www.cert.org) which describe LDAP servers. After this you can choose the server which best suite your needs.

G.7.2 Migrating an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) Database
To migrate an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database for 32-bit Windows to an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database for 64-bit Windows:
Install Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) for 64-bit Windows.
See Also:
Oracle Database Installation Guide for Windows
Create the new Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) service at the command prompt:
C:\> ORADIM -NEW -SID SID [-INTPWD PASSWORD ]-MAXUSERS USERS
-STARTMODE AUTO -PFILE ORACLE_HOME\DATABASE\INITSID.ORA
The following table provides more information on the values you must supply.
Parameter      Description
SID     SID of the database you are upgrading
PASSWORD     Password for the new Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) for 64-bit Windows database. This is the password for the user connected with SYSDBA privileges. The -INTPWD option is not required. If you do not specify it, then operating system authentication is used, and no password is required.
USERS     Maximum number of users who can be granted SYSDBA and SYSOPER privileges
ORACLE_HOME     Oracle home directory. Ensure that you specify the full path name with the -PFILE option, including drive letter of the Oracle home directory.
Copy the 32-bit datafiles to the new 64-bit Oracle home.
Copy the 32-bit configuration files to the 64-bit Oracle home.
If your 32-bit initialization parameter file has an IFILE (include file) entry, then copy the file specified by the IFILE entry to the 64-bit Oracle home and edit the IFILE entry in the initialization parameter file to point to its new location.
If you have a password file that resides in the 32-bit Oracle home, then copy the password file to the 64-bit Oracle home. The default 32-bit password file is located in ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\database\pwdSID.ora., where SID is your Oracle instance ID.
In the 64-bit Oracle home, add the _SYSTEM_TRIG_ENABLED = false parameter to the ORACLE_HOME\database\ORACLE_SID \init.ora file before changing the word size.
Remove this parameter from the initialization file after the word size change is complete.
See Also:
Oracle Database Upgrade Guide for more information on changing word size
Go to the 64-bit ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin directory from the command prompt.
Start SQL*Plus:
C:\> sqlplus /NOLOG
Connect to the database instance as SYSDBA:
SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA;
Re-create the 64-bit control files using the CREATE CONTROLFILE command. Edit the trace file created in "Backing Up a 32-Bit Oracle Database" to change the paths to the datafiles, log files and control files to point to the Oracle home on the 64-bit computer. This creates the new control file in ORACLE_HOME\database.
Here is an example of a database named "orcl32" on a 32-bit computer migrating to "orcl64" on a 64-bit computer:
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "T1" NORESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
    MAXLOGFILES 32
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
    MAXDATAFILES 32
    MAXINSTANCES 16
    MAXLOGHISTORY 1815

   'C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\oradata\orcl64\DR01.DBF'
CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P1;
Alter the init file from the 32-bit computer to include the new control file generated in the preceding step.
Start the database in RESTRICT mode:
SQL> STARTUP RESTRICT;
You might need to use the PFILE option to specify the location of your initialization parameter file.
Set the system to spool results to a log file for later verification of success. For example:
SQL> SPOOL catoutw.log
Enter the following command to view the output of the script on-screen:
SQL> SET ECHO ON;
Recompile existing PL/SQL modules in the format required by the 64-bit Oracle9i database:
SQL> @utlirp.sql;
Turn off the spooling of script results to the log file:
SQL> SPOOL OFF;
Check the spool file and verify that the packages and procedures compiled successfully. Correct any problems you find in this file.
If you were viewing the output of catoutw.log on-screen, disable viewing now:
SQL> SET ECHO OFF;
Exit the RESTRICT database mode:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE RESTRICTED SESSION;
The word size of the 64-bit Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database is changed. You can open the database for normal use.This is from the link

Migrating Oracle Apps from 11.5.5 on Windows 2000 to 11.5.8 on Windows 2003

Currently we are running Oracle Applications 11.5.5 on Windows 2000 Server. We want to migrate to faster machines running Windows 2003 Server.
11.5.5 is not supported on Windows 2003. We will need to upgrate to at least 11.5.8.
Can you please suggest what is the best way to do this:
1- Upgrade 11.5.5 to 11.5.8 on Windows 2000
2- Install 11.5.8 on Windows 2003 Server. (Where would I get 11.5.8 from? Does Oracle ship older versions? I have CDs for 11.5.5 only).
3- Export/import the database
4- Move the customazitions over
1- Install 11.5.5 on Windows 2003 Server. (11.5.5 is not supported on Windows 2003. Can we temporarily install it still; and upgrade it soon to 11.5.8?)
2- Uprade 11.5.5 to 11.5.8 on Windows 2003 Server.
3- Export/import the database
4- Move the customazitions over
Thanks in advance.
Earliest attention is appreciated.

Oracle Universal Installer will not load on Window 2000

I cannot load the Oracle Universall Installer on a new
Dell computer with pre-loaded Windows 2000 software. The setup.exe program will not execute. Any suggestions?

Thank you, I thought the problem was specific to Windows 2000,
but it Pentium 4 processors. Here is a reply I found from
Nick Chernick. We will try it out as soon as possible.
1. Create a temporary directory on your server.
2. Copy the contents of the Oracle RDBMS CD to the temporary directory created in step 1.
3. Search the directory structure created in step 1 for the existence of the filename symcjit.dll.
4. Rename each copy of the symcjit.dll to symcjit.old.
5. Run the setup.exe from the \install\win32 directory and install Oracle 8.1.x.
