Unable to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition in Windows98 with Pentium4

I am getting error "Performed illegal Operation" when ever I
unzip and install Oracle 8i PE 8.1.7 for windows98. Error is
JREW caused an invalid page fault in module JAVAI.DLL,
suggestions was install new JRE Version. I have tried to format
hard drive (twice) thinking some software incompatibility, no
go. remove devices, no go. After further analysis it seems there
is issue installing 8i databse Personal Ed. in Pentium 4
processor with an Intel motherboard latest Bios. I have
downloaded and installed JRE Version 1.1.8_008, still no go.
What am i missing? Please advice or suggestion. Thank you. Email
me- [email protected]

I am unable to install 8i personal edition Release 3 onto my W2K machine. I download the zip file and unzip it into (c:/OracleInstall) a folder I have created on my c:/ drive. When i click on the setup.exe file it opens up. When I click on the install button the GUI disappers and nothing occurs. I have attempted to burn it onto a CD_Rom and install through the control panel and the same occurs.
I am not sure what is causing this problem. Is there any why I could request the software in a CD as opposed to a zip file? What could be causing this problem? Is the machine a P4? there is a known problem
I don't know about his machine, but mine is a P4. Where do I find this information about this problem? And is there a fix? I need to install the NET8 Assistant.

I have previously installed the Oracle 7 client and when I try to remove the files that came with that I get a differnt error that also asks me to close and then exits.
Does anyone have any clues?

I guess results are unpredictable when using such an old client, that was not written to handle pipelined functions. Presumably in its communication with the server it is sending the wrong information because it doesn't know what datatype it is dealing with.
You will also hit problems dealing with object and collection types in general, timestamps, intervals and WITH clauses. I've had no problems using the 10g client against a 9.2 database. Not only do you get a better version of SQL*Plus, but it solved some similar problems within PL/SQL Developer.

Drop table command in Personal Oracle 8i for windows98

I installed personal oracle 8i for windows 98. The database version is 8.1.5. When I try to drop a table that does not exist sqlplus hangs. Then I have to do ctrl+alt+del to cancel the program. Because of this problem I am not able to succesfully run the developer 6.0 admin tables script. Any program that drops a table that doesnt exist seems to hang. After this I have to shutdown the database and start it to work further.
Has anyone encountered this problem. Is this a bug or is there something wrong in my installation.

How can i launch the oracle 9i personal edition for windows98

i have installed oracle 9i on my computer
i encounter a problem in my first run
i have no password to launch the database
what can i do
can you give me a password

Good afternoon,
scott does not work. It is not the same situation as when we start a PL/SQL session. There's nowhere to input the user name.
I experienced the same problem: When you choose 'start oracle database' from the 'start' bar, a simple dialog pops up just saying "password______". Nothing else. And, if you have tried three times, it tells you 'Error: cannot startup(?) database' and you need to try again.
There's no way to get into plsql either if you cannot do the above successfully.
Anybody from Oracle can tell us why and how to solve this problem? Quite annoying.

Oracle 8.1.5 on Windows XP Pro

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle 8.1.5 on windows XP pro, when installing i get the message saying "Invalid staging area". It will get a bit further if i run setup.exe in compatibility mode for Windows98, but seems to halt installation when trying to install a file called comUS.msd (- not sure if i have extension correct) it as at 76% of installation.
Does anyone know how to get around this problem?
Thanks
Nick.
PS the machine runs an AMD Athlon 1.7GHz processor too

You may want to search the database forums or All forums categories first to see if this question is already answered. I see at least 6 threads in the database category level and 21 threads when I searched all categories for "invalid staging area." If you still do not the find the answer, please repost your question in the database forum.

Oracle forms 6i (Pentium 4, Win98) "Can not install"

I have a "customized" Oracle interface that was created in Oracle forms 6. I have successfully used this form on Windows 95 Clients but now I must switch to a Windows 98 O/S on a Pentium 4 machine. I actually had to download a special Oracle Installer to install the 8i Client, but I now need to load a newer version of the Forms "run-time" and can not install it from the 6i forms download. Any suggestions would be more than appreciated.

Forms 6i installation in Windows98 should not give any trouble. Hope you
have checked the memory. You should have 128MB memory to install
Forms6i. In Runtime you may not actually require that much of memory but
to install you reuire that (Please see Hardware requirement for Form6i).

Crc error on oracle 9i for NT

after downloading disk1, file sizes do not match posted size and on extraction by WINZIP I get a crc error. Is this a download problem or a strange unzip problem or a glitch in the way the files were zipped?

Oracle Migration Tool

I recently downloaded the Oracle Migration Tool for migrating a
Microsoft Access database to Oracle8 for Linux. This migration
tool contains the following components:
1. Oracle Installer 3.3.0.1.3
2. Oracle Migration Assistant for Microsoft Access 8.0.4.0.0
3. Oracle Named Pipes Protocol Adapter 8.0.4.0.0
4. Oracle Net8 Client 8.0.4.0.0
5. Oracle Objects for OLE 2.2.2.2.0
6. Oracle TCP/IP Protocol Adapter 8.0.4.0.0
7. Oracle8 ODBC Driver 8.0.4.0.0
8. Required Support Files 8.0.4.0.0
I installed everything onto my Windows98 client machine. Once I
did this, I could see the following entries in my Start Menu
under "Oracle for Windows95":
1. Microsoft ODBC Administrator
2. 004002 Class Library Documentation
3. 004022 Bound Controls and Class Library
4. 004022 Control Notes
5. 004022 Release Notes
6. Oracle Home Selector
7. Oracle Installer
8. Oracle Migration Assistant for MS Access
9. Oracle Objects for OLE Documentation
10. Oracle ODBC Help File
11. Oracle ODBC README File
12. Oracle ODBC Test
When I went into the Microsoft ODBC Administrator, I could also
see that there was a new entry under the ODBC Drivers tab:
Oracle ODBC Driver 8.00.0400 Oracle Corporation SQORA32.DLL
12/3/97
So far, so good.
Then I started going through the Oracle8 ODBC help file to get
my machine set up to start using the tool. Under "Configuration
Tasks," it says the following:
Before you configure the data source, you must configure Net8
database services, so there is an entry for each Service Name.
To do this, start the Oracle Net8 Assistant, either click on the
Oracle for Windows NT program group and click on the Oracle Net8
Assistant icon or from the start bar select Programs, select
Oracle for Windows NT, and select the Oracle Net8 Assistant.
Using the Oracle Net8 Assistant, you can create an entry in the
tnsnames.ora file for each Service Name. The Oracle Net8
Assistant is installed when you install Net8.
That's when I started running into problems. Although the
installer had shown that Net8 had been installed, I could not
find any evidence of a Net8 Assistant on my Windows98 client
machine. Is there a trick to starting up the Net8 Assistant?
Until I am able to perform this step, I cannot go to the next
step of configuring my ODBC driver.
Any help would be appreciated.

Brendan,
I am not 100% sure, but I believe win98 is not supported.... yet.
I know that 95 is supported, but to be honest, I do not run
winDOZE. Maybe an upper authority from Oracle should correct me
if I am wrong.

Pagedown key not available in Windows98?

We trying to run Dev 6.0 on a windows 98 client. The pagedown
key no longer works either as scroll down or next block with
Control+pagedown. I have tried to add it using oracle terminal,
but get errors on the word 'PageDown'. I called in a TAR on
this issue and was told a new bug had been created on this (Bug#
880351). I was told that it was not a priority 1 issue and
should not expect a fix anytime soon.
I don't understand how this is possible. PageDown and
Control+Pagedown have been the default scroll down and next
block keystrokes for years on the Windows & Dos platforms.
Someone must have run across this during testing and come up
with a workaround. I assume I'm not the first person to try to
use the PageDown key in Dev 6.0.
I tried using the frmusw.res file from the beta CD. This did
not work either.
If anyone is using 6.0 in windows98 and has the pagedown key
working can you let me know?
Thanks

This is NOT a Win 98 problem it's general and in production also.
They 'forgot' the keys !!! Support told me this is to be fixed
in 6.0.6. They also forgot to deliver Oracle Terminal with which
you could correct the problem. More than sad. BTW are they
really doing tests ?

Oracle 8i Lite on NT Version Difficulty

HELP!
I just installed Oracle 8i Lite on NT. Install seemed to go OK.
But when I run SQL Plus and login, SQL Plus complains with the
message:
Server not available or version too low for this feature
It then connects the database. I can drop and create some
things (pupdb.sql runs but gives some sql syntax error messages)
If I do a simple sql select statement, I always get a syntax
error (e.g. select * from user; gives error POL-5228 - syntax
error).
Any ideas?
null

James,
I have the similar problem when I installed Oracle8 Lite on
Windows98. Then I figured out from some Oracle FAQ that
this error can be ignored. As for the syntax error, I was
getting the same. I checked the dictionary, most of the USER_xxx
tables are no longer avail. Only the USER_OBJECTS still exists.
Try the following, 'select * from All_users' or 'select * from
user_objects'.
Regards,
Barry

Problem installing weblogic jdriver for oracle

Hi ,
I have installed WLS510 and Oracle8i Personal Edition on windows98. I have
put the c:\weblogic\bin\oci815_8 directory in the system path and
c:\oracle\ora81\jdbc\lib\classes102.zip in the CLASSPATH
Now when I try to test the connection using the following command:
$ java utils.t3dbping URL user password DB driver_class driver_URL
I get error :
Connecting to WebLogic with the WebLogic JDBC Driver
Can't connect with the WebLogic JDBC driver:
System.loadLibrary threw java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError
with the message 'no weblogicoci36 in java.library.path'.
Server StackTrace:
<not available>]
Could anyone please tell me what java.library.path is and where should I
find
weblogicoci36.
Thanks
Vishwajeet Lohakarey

java.library.path is Java System variable for seting directories where will java look out for native library modules (DLLs on NT). It is normally unset because DLLs are serached by standard NT algorithm (PATH variable, System dir) too.
weblogicoci36 is native module name of WL JDBC driver for Oracle that Java&NT couldn't find. Coresponding DLL file is in your c:\weblogic\bin\oci815_8 directory.
Problem could be in that if WL is started as NT Service,
a) PATH variable must be set for System not for User and
b) this setting don't take effect until NT restart.

HI user648940
Consult the following document in metalink in order to clean up your installations on the server.
Doc ID:      Note:124353.1
Subject:      WIN: Manually Removing all Oracle Components on Microsoft Windows Platforms
PURPOSE
This article describes the procedure how to manually perform the actions to
create a "clean machine" on Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP and how to
manually remove all Oracle components (e.g.: oracle RDBMS database server,
IAS, OEM, client installations, etc) and services from your computer.
SCOPE & APPLICATION
This article is intended for DBA's on the Microsoft Windows platform.
WARNING:
1. Remove all Oracle components from your computer only as a last resort,
and only if you want to remove ALL Oracle components from your system.
2. These instructions remove all Oracle components, services, and registry
entries from your computer. In addition, any database files in the
subdirectories under ORACLE_BASE\ORADATA\ are also removed.
3. These procedures will also remove Oracle network configuration files,
user written scripts and any other user generated files that may be stored
in Oracle_Base directories.
4. Exercise extreme care when removing registry entries. Removing incorrect
entries can severely compromise your computer.
MANUALLY REMOVING ALL ORACLE COMPONENTS AND SERVICES FROM YOUR COMPUTER
Section A (steps 1-6) describes the removal of all Oracle components on
Windows NT,2000 and XP.
Section B (steps 1-4) describes the removal of all Oracle components on
Windows 95 and Windows 98.
A. Removing Components on Windows NT/2000/XP.
To remove all Oracle components from a computer on Windows NT/2000/XP:
1. Check privileges:
1.a. Ensure you are logged in as a user with Administrator privileges.
2. Stop all Oracle services (if any are running):
2.a. NT: Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services.
2000,XP: Right click My Computer > Manage > Services and Applications >
> Services
2.b. If any Oracle services (their names begin with Oracle) exist and have
the status Started, select the service and click Stop.
2.c. Click Close to exit the Services window.
2.d. Close the Control Panel/Computer Management window.
3. Remove the entries in the Windows registry:
3.a. Start the registry editor:
Choose Start > Run > regedit
Note: On Windows NT you can use regedt32 instead. The searching
capabilities of regedt32 is limited compared to regedit. It will be
needed to be able to edit 32-bit entries in the registry. Since we
are not going to update any 32-bit entry it is not needed.
3.b. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
Note the value of the key INST_LOC, this is the location of the
Oracle Universal Installer (OUI). The default location is
C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory. If this value is different, make
note of it, so we can delete these files later.
Delete this ORACLE key.
3.c. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC and expand all subkeys and
remove all keys under here which are related with the
"Oracle ODBC Driver"
3.d. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and remove
all keys under here that begin with ORACLE or ORAWEB.
3.e. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\...
...\Application and remove all keys under here that begin with ORACLE.
3.f. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\...
...\Uninstall and remove any entries related to Oracle.
3.g. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, remove all keys that begin with Ora or ORCL
(e.g. Oracle..., ORADC..., ORAMMC..., OraOLE..., OraPerf... and ORCL...).
3.h. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes, remove all keys that begin
with Ora or ORCL
(e.g. Oracle..., ORADC..., ORAMMC..., OraOLE..., OraPerf... and ORCL...).
3.i. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Oracle, delete this ORACLE key.
3.j. Go to HKEY_USERS\…\Software\Oracle, delete this ORACLE key.
3.k. Close the registry.
4. Clean up the environment settings:
4.a. NT: Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Environment tab
2000,XP: Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > System >
Advanced tab > Environment variables.
4.b. At "System Variables" click on the variable PATH in order to modify
the value. For example, you may see a path similar to this one:
C:\ORACLE\ORA81\BIN;C:\PROGRAM FILES\ORACLE\JRE\1.1.7\BIN
4.c. If an %ORACLE_HOME% was installed, remove this %ORACLE_HOME%\BIN path.
4.d. If JRE was installed by Oracle, remove the JRE path.
4.e. If there is a CLASSPATH variable under "System Variables", first make
note of the path defined, then delete it. This variable can be added
back at a later date if needed.
4.f. Check if there are any other Oracle variables set in "System Variables",
ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, TNS_ADMIN, JSERV or WV_GATEWAY_CFG. If these
exist, delete them also.
4.g. Click on APPLY and OK.
4.h. Close the Control Panel window.
5. Delete the software and icons:
5.a. NT: Choose Start > Programs > Windows NT Explorer.
2000,XP: Choose Start > Programs > Accessories > Windows Explorer.
5.b. NT: Go to %SystemDrive%\WINNT\PROFILES\ALL USERS\START MENU\PROGRAMS
2000,XP: Go to %SystemDrive%\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\...
...\START MENU\PROGRAMS
Note 1: These locations depend on whether OS was upgraded from NT, or
this was a fresh install of 2000/XP.
Note 2: To locate your System Drive, type in DOS-box: echo %SystemDrive%
and delete the following icons:
- Oracle Installation Products
- PRODUCT_NAME - HOME_NAME e.g.
Oracle for Windows NT - Dev6i
Oracle Reports 6i - Dev6i
Oracle Olap Client 2.2 - Dev6i
Oracle9i Lite
Oracle - OraHome92
5.c. Go to %SystemDrive%\Program Files\Oracle or the location of INST_LOC as
noted earlier in step 3.b. and delete this directory.
Note: In order to successfully delete all files, you may have to reboot
your computer first, in order to clear Operating System locks
on those files.
5.d. Go to the temporary directory and delete all files and directories in
here (see note in 5.c.).
NT: %SystemDrive%\Temp
2000,XP:
%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp\
5.e. Go to the drive where the Oracle software is installed on your machine
and delete all ORACLE_BASE directories on your hard drive (see note in
5.c.).
5.f. Close the Windows Explorer / Windows NT Explorer.
6. Finish the removal:
6.a. Empty the recycle bin
Right click on recycle bin > Empty Recycle Bin.
6.b. Reboot your computer.
6.c. Optionally: If you are on Windows 2000 or XP run the System Defragmenter
utility:
- from Control Panel, select Administrative Tools > Computer Management
- expand Storage, then select Disk Defragmenter
- highlight each virtual drive, in turn, and click Defragment
- reboot your computer when finished.
B. Removing Components on Windows 95 or Windows 98.
To remove all Oracle components from a computer on Windows 95/Windows 98:
1. Remove the entries in the Windows registry:
1.a. Start the registry editor at the MS-DOS command prompt:
C:\> REGEDIT
1.b. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
Note the value of the key INST_LOC, this is the location of the Oracle
Universal Installer. The default location is
