Cant Load personal edition 8.1.5 on Windows ME

Is there a way out to install Oracle personal edition 8.1.5 on Windows ME. Is it true one can't install personal edition on Win ME. If any one had sucess, I would be glad to hear how. Thanks
Adiseshu

Oracle doesn't support Windows ME at the moment.
If you visit some of the Oracle newsgroups, there are folks that have figured out how to install Oracle on a Windows ME box. This would be an unsupported configuration, however.

Oracle 9i Personal Edition for Windows 98

I am having problems installing Oracle 9i Personal Edition for Windows 98. The install is hanging at the same place every time.
The installer works fine, but at the end of the install, when the Oracle Configuration Assistant tries to create the new database, the system "hangs". On a Gateway PC, there were fatal exceptions about VxD and vVMM. I finally had to power down the PC. I tried again and got the same error.
On a Compaq PC, when the Configuration Assistant started, it tried to access my floppy drive and opened a console window with "Abort, Retry, Fail". I chose "Abort" and the configuration continued, but the system hung when trying to start the Oracle instance.
I am evaluating different software packages and need to install Oracle in order to test them.
Thanks for your help.

if you go to iSelfSchooling.com, you will find Oracle Installation Issues on Windows. It gives a list of "default usernames and passwords" and also states that you can leave the HOST name blank to get at the starter database.

Oracle Personal Edition installation on Windows ME

I have tried to restart the LISTENER but I can't find tnslnsr or lnsrctl in my /BIN directory.

I had this same problem with this same installation on ME. After a smooth installation with PO 8, I suspected spaces in path names, since the 8i install appears to be java based. If you go into windows regedit (Win ME does not read from autoexec.bat), and search for oracle home, and all 'home' paths you have tried specifying in the initial 8i install interface, upon editing your oracle home path, you may find a space character discreetly tucked at the end of that path name. What's more, just correcting your paths through regedit may only temporarily solve your problem. Also search/correct your prompt. A quick verification of this is if, from a dos window, your prompt looks like:
C:\> _
(notice the space between the > and _ characters) I think this is either a MS bug, or an image disk install bug, and suspect, after reading of your same problem, it comes from MS.
Hope this helps,
KJ

Hi,
I am assuming that Oracle 8i Personal Edition for Windows 98 will work on Windows Me too. First of all, is this assumption valid ? If yes, then I am facing a problem right at the start of the installation. After specifying the File location path (For source path, the default is 'C:\Program Files\Oracle\STAGE\products.jar'. I have not changed this. For destination path,(oracle home path), I am specifying it as 'C:\Program Files\Oracle'. After this I get an error as follows - 'There was a problem in accessing the staging area. Please make sure the specified values for 'Source' and 'Destination' are valid.'
I am stuck up at this point. Please let me know what could be the problem.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Win98 was released in the late 97/98 and the Oracle version then was 7 and the then brand new 8i version. Cannot recall ever seeing 9i for Win98. Do recall running PO 7 on Win95 and Win98.

Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal Edition for Windows NT/2000/

Hi,
Ive just been trying to download your Oracle9i Database Release Enterprise/Standard/Personal Edition for Windows NT/2000/XP for my home computer, but it wont even download properly. The Disk 1 file, "92010NT_Disk1.zip", intializes, and downloads in less than a second, saying all 67.7kb is complete, taking into consideration the file is over 600mb big. When i open the *.zip file, its absolutely empty. I tried the links for Disk 2 and Disk 3, and they are working perfectley.
Whats going on?
Is there a bug on my side, or OTN's?
Will this be fixed soon?
Or should i download an older version?
A little feed back would be grately appreciated, due to the fact i cant find the latest version of Oracle anywhere else on the World Wide Web.
Thank you for your time.
- File: 92010NT_Disk1.zip
- Date/Time: 03/09/02 11:30PM
- Internet Browser: IE 6.0.2600.0000
- O/S: Windows 2000
PS: Your "Preview" Button didnt seem to work for me either.

Hi Peter,
I downloaded the same zip files as you did for my home pc. The first zip file was not able to be unzipped by winzip. So I had to download the fisrt zip file again from OTN and the second time it was fine. I got all three zip files extracted and ran the setup.exe. Everything was fine till this point.
My problem is that Oracle 9i release 2 personal edition is not for XP home edition. I couldn't get the database correctly configured.

Error installing Oracle 9i Database Enterprise/personal edition for win xp

Hi,
Not sure if anyone can help me, but I just finish downloading the
Oracle Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal Edition for Windows NT/2000/XP (32 bit)
When I finished unzipping the 3 files into Disk1, Disk2, and Disk3 folders I tried running the setup.exe file but nothing happens.
I am using windows XP as my operating system. Can anyone tell me why the setup is not working?
Thank you.

XP Professional, or XP Home?
There are a lot of cases where people have tried and failed to install on XP Home. Also a few successes.
Also, how is your firewall and anti-virus software configured. Those may be blocking your install process.

Oracle 8.1.5 Personal Edition
Oracle does not support installing version 8.1.5 PE into
Windows Millennium.
As an unsupported workaround, you may add the following line
to the [compatibility95] section of win.ini prior to
installation:
Jrew=0x00080000
After setup is complete, Oracle will recommend a reboot.
There is one additional step necessary prior to reboot;
Oracle may add a non-standard path statement to the
autoexec.bat file. Please modify this SET PATH
statement to use short-filenames if you find a quoted
LFN string represented as part of the path. You can
confirm that the path was merged successfully into the
registry after reboot by examining the PATH variable
in the registry at
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Environment
Symptoms of a missing Oracle path statement in the registry are that Net8 Easy Config will not launch.
Please note that Oracle does not support the use of this
product in Windows ME, but have authorized these workarounds
for testing purposes only.

Personal Edition for Linux

The personal edition of Oracle database server is only available for the Windows platform. Given the Oracle's increased platform support and even having their own version of Linux, is there any plan making personal edition available for the Linux OS as well ?
this is not a technical question - or using XE or using OTN license for development - etc, I am simply asking if Personal Edition become available for the Linux platform. (having a 64bit and/or 32bit 11gR2 personal edition running under X distro of Linux - for example).
Maybe an Oracle employee can answer.
thank you.

All of the various editions available are free to download and use for personal learning.Personal Edition is for business usage.
Personal Edition is a kind of "substract" of Enterprise Edition, same components, same core, except the license terms are very differents (the usage for business), and installation type is available only for Windows. An SR won't help for that.
Find out more in the installation type of the Installation Guide :

De-installing Oracle personal edition

I've installed Oracle Personal Edition 8.1.6 on a D: drive of an NT 4.0 machine. As it turned out, I really needed to install it on C:. So, I attempted to de-install it from D:. When done with the de-installation using the Universal Installer (and it told me that all the products were removed), I rebooted and proceeded to install on the C: drive. The installer told me that there still was an instance on the D: drive. I attempted to remove all Oracle-related keys from the registry, with no success. There are two services still on the system (listener and the one for the instance). How do I cleanly delete all traces of the previous install?

first you had to stop all oracle stuff of services then you have to de-install the things. Oracle has one disadvantage is if you remove all stuff from regedit then also it'll give some problem for installation.
So better you install o.s. again do the installation it'll work prefectly.
cheers then.
