Oracle XE installation problems in Windows XP

Hi all,
During installation I got following error mesage:
"Oracle SQL*PLUS has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
There was also request to send problem info to Microsoft.
Another problem was that I can't open XE GUI.
I got the famous "The page cannot be displayed" message.
It can't be a port problem because Apache Web-server happily used that address and port.
All help to solve these problems are welcome.

The SQLPlus problem you have reported is the #1 symptom of the DLL issue. Do a search on your machine and see if you can find a DLL called oraociei10.dll
If you do, check which directory it is in. The make sure that directory is not in your path.
Note that if this is the problem, then I do not think your install was successful, as the same problem also causes the install to fail. So this may also be why you cannot launch the home page.
Other reasons why the home page will not launch includes having a space in your Windows account user name - i.e what you logon to the machine with. This is also a known issue. The only workaround for this one is to deinstall, create a new Windows account user without a space (perhaps even oracle ?), logon as this user, and re-install.
I also have concerns about your statement that Apache uses the same port. Of course, you cannot have Apache and something else like Oracle Database XE share the same port. So if Apache was running during the install, the database port would have been moved, typically to 8081. If you had Apache shut down during the install, then the database would have been placed on port 8080 - but if Apache is now started and also listening on 808, then things are going to get ugly.
What is the URL that is being used for the Homepage, and is Apache running ?

Oracle 8i Installation problem on Windows 2000

I had purchased a Oracle8i (MS/Windows NT CD (E-Commerce), part Number A94674-01 in the month of Jun 2000.
When I tried to install Oracle 8i personal edition of Windows 2000 ver.
The installation got completed smoothly. But after that I was not able to start my database and even Windows 2000 crashed after that. After every crash I reinstalled windows 2000 and oracle 8i but the result was same. My whole purpose of purchasing Oracle 8i on windows 2000 is getting defeated.
I would request you send me solution what to do ? Or replace my Oracle S/W. Its useless for me right now.
My M/C configuration is
Dell P-III (256 MB, 300 Mhz) with sound card.
20 GB Hard Disk of 7200 rpm.
The primary O/S is Windows 98.
The Hard disk is partitioned into no. Of logical drives.
They are like 2GB of each (C, D, E, F) and G 10 GB
C part ion has got Windows. And G has got windows 2000. There is enough space in all part ions.
I would appreciate if you can solve my problem as soon as possible.
Sincerely,

Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit)

First of all my windows is not genuine, but on my friend's desktop oracle download and installation worked fine, he chose "create and configure database" options, and it works very well on his desktop, though his windows is also illegitimate. In my case, when I select "Create and configure database" option and pressed 'next",
(Go to my blog to see it with snapshots: Computer Science: Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit))
it asks to select class, I select "Desktop class" and pressed "next". The moment I pressed "next", the whole setup thing disappeared like it was never started. I searched for all possible reasons for why its not getting installed on my laptop, I used registry cleaner s/w, deleted 25 GB of data to create free space if it were the problem, increased the virtual memory to increase the space for RAM, I did almost everything to get this setup working, but I found no success with the "Create and Configure database" option
and
then
I chose a "database software only" option and chose to store in a folder w/o spaces. This way, I got database s/w only and then later I found "Database configuration Assistant (DBCA)" from windows START button and clicked to create and configure database manually. The steps are pretty much interactive and doesn't involve much brainstorming.
The values I filled for
1) Global Database Name : orcl
2) System Identifier : orcl
3) I chose common password for both SYS and SYSTEM
4) while on Enterprise Manager Configuration step, It asked me to create and configure listener in oracle home, so for that too, I typed "netca" in windows START menu and clicked it. There I added a listener.
5) I chose a Storage area which was the Oracle-home itself i.e. where our installation files goes , in my case it is : C:\oracle_base\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\oradata
6) Then after few more nitty-gritty clicks, we are set to go !
Finally to write SQL code and to create your first TABLE , type "sqlplus" in windows "START" menu and click it when it appears. A command-prompt like window appears , which will ask you for username and password, so here they are :
Username : sys/ as sysdba
Password : (its the one you created in step 3 stated above )
After this you are ready to write your first SQL command.

Is this your solution to your original post at Oracle database 11g release 2 installation on windows 7 (64-bit) ?
Pl be aware that you should not create any custom objects in SYS or SYSTEM schema - you should create any such objects in a separate custom schema.

Lightroom 3.2 Installation Problem on Windows 7 64-bit

Lightroom 3.2 Installation Problem on Windows 7 64-bit
I can't install Lightroom 3.2 (German) on my computer (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit).
While copying the extracted program files the following error message appears:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly component {6435B7C0-E0C8-3EA2-91AE-7640034EAFCE}. HRESULT: 0x80070002.
I found out that other users had the same problem, and couldn't find a solution.
Perhaps it is a Microsoft .NET Framework related problem. But after installing .NET Framework 4 nothing changed.
Thanks for ideas to solve the problem.

Thanks for your advice, Mr. McLion.
I downloaded the 3.4.1 version and started the installation as administrator. Unfortunately the same error message occured again.
Then I tried to install the 32-bit version (although I prefer a 64-bit program on a 64-bit operating system). A similar error message appeared at the same point of installation progress, but with another combination of numbers and letters in brackets.

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...

Oracle EBS R12 installation problem in Windows 2003

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle EBS R12 on Windows 2003 R2. I have installed cygwin along with required packages and also Visual studio 2005 as specified in the prerequisites of installation document.
All the validations are successful before installation but I am facing error during installation in Step3 at about 53 percent. When i checked the log file, I found that some of the files required for installation are not found in my staging area. Now I want to run MD5sum on the Staged Files.
I had downloaded md5sum_windows.txt and also run this command :
md5sum --check md5sum_Windows.txt > md5sum_result.txt
In md5sum_result.txt, I am getting error for all files. Error message is as :
oraAppDB\Disk1\data\driver\Disk1.drv
: FAILED open or read
This is repeating for all files. But i can see that the files are present in My Staging area. Do i need to set some permission for this. Please help. Desperately want to install EBS as part of perparation for my planned certification.

A simple detailed Step by Step Installation Document or any good reference for the same would by really appreciated.

I have downloaded all the 33 files in oracle edelivery site. I have seen a post of yours regarding Oracle R12 installation on Windows XP. It mentions only some 25 files. Please do not rely on the that thread as it was for 12.0.x installation.
For R12 (12.1.1) you need to download the following files:
From: Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 Rapid Install Start Here (Part 1 of 4)
To: Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.1 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) Rapid Install APPL_TOP - Disk 2 (Part 2 of 2)
Is it possible that contents of the zip file are lost during download because my stage area is about 39 GB . and also I have verfied all the files in edelivery site is downloaded too.
Also the error i mentioned in my last post, I can see the file in the directory but still its showing read error. Is it due to corruption of data. That would mean that I will have to download all 40 GB again :-(It is easy to verify the contents of the stage area directory without running md5sum, so please do so and post the results here.
Thanks,
Hussein

ODBC: Oracle Universal Installer Crash on Windows 7 (Workaround found)

Clicking 'next' on first screen in the 10g installer makes the installer crash, showing a message 'Abnormal program termination. An internal error has occurred. Please provide the following files to Oracle Support: "Unknown" "Unknown" "Unknown". Goal for the moment is just to install ODBC. The read me in the ODBC driver 10.2.0.2.0 .exe says: This section assumes the following: Oracle Universal Installer shipping with 10.2.0.0.0 has already been installed on your system. Presuming that 10.2.0.0.0 is referring to another ODBC installer, this exe is not available, so how to install this? Since the installer from 10g is crashing, tried older ones, without success. What is going on? Is it a windows setting somewhere? How to just simply install the Oracle ODBC? Really no problems installing any other software. Avoiding of space in pathnames does not make any difference. Selecting optionbutton 'basic installation' and 'advanced installation' in installer gui both crash when continuing with 'next' ('advanced' does not have any values in that stage).

How to just simply install the Oracle ODBC?Probably what you're after is an oracle client install, no need to install a database if you just want ODBC. There is a small Express client on the XE download page, although I'm not sure if it includes ODBC drivers. The full 11g client software is at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/112010_win32soft.html
There is a support note 781054.1, if you're on 64-bit hardware with some how-tos on getting to the 32 bit ODBC drivers.

Installation problem on windows server 2008 r2 datacenter edition 64bit

hi
today, i tried to install the current maxdb 7.8 release on my virtual server with a windows server 2008 r2 datacenter 64bit edition os. at the first installation, i got an error message something with "rte runtime error". at this point, the installation stopped.
because of this error, i tried to uninstall the failed installation. this was not possible, in the uninstaller, i didn't see any components, so i can't uninstall.
so i tried to delete the files manually: the entries in the start menu, and the application's path under "program files"... first, i need to kill a process named "serv.exe", that creates a tcp daemon under port 7200... after killing it, the deletion of the dir in program files was successful.
this is very very weird, now my server is "contaminated" with an uncomplete uninstallation of maxdb...
why maxdb 7.8 has problems on windows server 2008 r2 datacenter 64bit edition???
thanks for feedbacks!
regards, jan

> no, because i canceled this virtual server - another method to solve this problem. (i have really no time for things like that..!)
If you take the time to give exact error messages then someone will be certainly able to help
> on windows server 2003, there are NO problems.
Windows 2003 != Windows 2008 - they use a different kernel, a different security system (UAC) and other features that may prevent a succesfull installation in the first place.
I installed a MaxDB 7.8 just today on Windows 2008 R2 and it worked fine.

PPStream installation problem on Windows 7

I just recently install bootcamp and use bootcamp to install windows 7 pro. Everything seems fine until i download PPStream and install it. The installation process was smooth just like usual. However, when it finishes installing, it asked me if i wanna open the PPStream. and i said yes. guess what, nothing happened, then the PPStream icon on desktop is not a normal app icon, it's like a unknown file icon with the reflash arrow on the bottom right corner.
I thought it might be the installation problem, then i went into Control Panel and uninstall the app, and reinstall PPStream, the same thing happened, and every time i click the PPStream icon on desktop, windows explorer stopped working. Anyone knows what's going on or got experience like this before? i will appreciate for any input. thanks

I tried to install Oracle 10g downloaded from the below link on my laptop which runs in Windows 7.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/10204-winx64-vista-win2k8-082253.html
The Oracle version is 10g release 2 for windows 7. I got this DB version no. for Windows 7 from this forum only. But still, I got the error message stated below and unable to install 10g.

Could you please let me know how I can fix this issue? Or is there any other oracle 10g release/patch to fix this issue? I need to install only Oracle 10g and not 11g.
Also, I need to install Oracle Forms 10g too.
It would be great if you could guide me on installing these two softwares in my laptop.
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
