Oracle8i personal edition Autorun trouble

I am having trouble installing 8i personal edition on windows 98. I keep on getting a message when I click on Install/deinstall programs when running the autorun program. The message says "Unable to start Oracle installer. Please verify the path for the file C:\install\win32\setup.exe"

Hi Boule,
Try activating the Autorun from
Control panel-Add/Remove programs.
Hope it works.

  • Installing Oracle8i Personal Edition, Version 8.1.5 on Windows XP Pro

    I am trying to install Oracle8i Personal Edition, Version 8.1.5 on my system with Windows XP Pro on it.
    After copying the CD content to the Hard Drive and renaming symcjit.dll to symcjit_back.dll, and running the setup from the oracle folder on the C drive, I am having the following error message:
    " Invalid srttaging area. There are no top level components for Windows NT available for install from this satging area".
    Any clue?

    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.

  • Installing oracle8i personal edition on windows ME

    I am having a problem installing oracle8i personal edition on windows ME.
    The error on running the setup.exe was "jrew has caused an error in javai.dll. " A fix was reported on the internet for this , which is adding a line ": Jrew=0x00080000" to compatibility95 in the win.ini file. Appaarently this fix worked for few people, but it is making no difference for me.
    Please provide a solution for this. email:[email protected]

  • Installing Designer 6 on NT With Oracle8 Personal Edition

    According to the Designer 6 For Windows NT installation guide, I can have Personal Oracle 8.0.4 as a local database for use with Designer 6. However I am unable to successfully install these due to:
    1. Designer and the Pre-Configured Repository must reside in the default_home directory.
    2. The Pre-Configured Repository must reside in the same Oracle Home Directory as the local database - therefore Personal Oracle8 must reside in the default_home directory also.
    3. Designer needs the 8.0.5 required support files whereas Oracle8 Personal Edition needs the 8.0.4 required support files to work.
    Thus, is my problem. As I can not install both 8.0.4 and 8.0.5 support files into the same Oracle home, how can I get to use Designer 6 with a local 8.0.4 database on NT, as it suggests in the Designer installation guide?
    null

    These are the steps .
    1. First Yout NT server must have Nt ver.4 with Service pack 5 built in
    2.All Y have to do is to Installed Web App
    Server on Different Physical location(With Oracle 8i) as different NT user with administrative privileges(Different from the user Y installed 8i RDBMS ).
    3. Set TNS_ADMIN parameter for NT Server.
    4.Set up the tnsname.ora and sqlnet.ora file
    on web app home ,(ie %ORACLE_HOME%\net80\admin ) as same as those on your Oracle DB HOme ,(ie %ORACLE_HOME%/network/admin )
    After this if You follow the installation guide ,Post installation task ,
    Every thing will work..
    Good luck ..

    Thanks. A couple of questions. Did you place the OAS in separate homes? If yes did you set enviromental variablesin System and user. Last Did you have to set the IP address in the winnt\system32\drivers\host.
    Still have not got it working. It seems to have installed. The node Listners is running. It could be a problem with my browser setup. Any ideas.
    Thanks JJ

  • Connecting to Oracle8 Personal Edition from Java

    Hi,
    I have Oracle8 Personal Edition installed on my system. I would like to connect to it using the java test program that comes with Oracle called Employee.java. Whenever I run the program (on the same machine as the database), I get an error message saying "Connection Refused". I am connecting to Oracle running locally using:
    Connection conn =
    DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:orcl",
                        "scott", "tiger");
    Does anybody know what is wrong?

    The problem is fixed. It did not work because I did not have a TNS listener running. Now it works fine.

  • Oracle8i Personal Edition

    Hi Everyone!
    I purchased the Oracle 8i CD Pack (Release3), which comes with 8i PE. The installation goes very well. However, when I try to setup the Network Configuration, it doesn't find anything! Even if I create the listner, etc. I recently noticed that the CD says NT/2000 on it, nothing about Windows 98. However, as I mentioned above, the installation works. Could it be that I have the wrong version and that is why the network part does not work? I have read all the problems people are having with the Win98 download version[\b], so I don't know if I want to go that route. Seems easier to install NT or 2000. Has anyone gotten their 98 PE to work yet? If so, how?

    Afaik, personal edition was/is only for Windows plateform.
    Nicolas.
    Go to http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/metalink/index.html
    Choose "...by Product", "Database...", "...Personal Edition", then you will see that is only Windows OS for which this edition was/is certified.

  • Oracle8i Personal Edition hangs with ora-12637

    I have tried to install Oracle8i for Windows 98 using the installation wizard. However, the database cannot be created because the configuration assistant cannot complete the job. When run as a batch file, each call to server manager receives a ora-12637 error. i have heard that you have to have Oracle8 installed, which I don't. Is this true? Where can I find it if I need it? It isn't in OTN that I can find anymore.
    TIA!

    Exactly which Windows OS are you using? WinME does not work.

    thanks

    There4s no version of Personal 8i for Windows ME. However, you can install this version in your system. Before you do this, modify your WIN.INI file, in section [Compatibility95], adding : Jrew=0x00080000. Reboot your system and try to install. Hope that helps you. Good luck.

  • Oracle8i Personal Edition - Connecting

    Hi
    I've installed OP8 completely without problems, and I can startup the database. I t seems I have all the standard users like scott/tiger and so on, but I can't figure out the string to write in the database-field in the connect-popup of SQL*plus, Forms Builder etc. (local) ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    which os are u all talking about?NT or 95 or 98?
    1.in case of any of these, make sure that you have tcp/ip configured for the machine and an ip adress to identify ur machine.a DHCP ip address will also help.
    2.make sure that the listener.ora in the $ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin directory has the proper SID to listen for .
    3.You can connect to the database using sqlplus 8.0 but connecting from sqlplus 3.3 and forms 4.5 will require a connect string to be defined in the tnsnames.ora in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory.
    4.Since the middleware (sqlnet and net8 ) are different , the conenct string will have to be used while connecting from sqlplsu 3.3 or forms 4.5.
    5.as far as polite is concerned, MikeSP has
    answered that question.
    Hope this helps.

  • Installation Oracle8 Personal Edition to Win NT

    Hi all,
    Had encountered the following error ORA-12203:TNS: unable to connect to destination during my installation to Win NT at the last part.
    Really had no idea on wat had gone wrong? Can someone enlighten me on it?
    null

    This error normally means that the Oracle listener (NT)service is not started.
    Go to the start menu/settings /control panel
    then choose services.
    In the window check the status of the Oracle TNS listener service.
    This should be 'started'.
    Also check if startupup mode for the service is set to 'automatic'.This means that the service will be automatically started when you start windows up.(then you won't have to worry about this any more).
    I hope that this is useful
    regards David

  • How to connect to Oracle 8i Personal Edition from another app like TOAD?

    I downloaded Oracle 8.1.7 Personal Edition; and the download went like a breeze.
    I installed Oracle and can connect to the database using SQL*Plus without specifying Host Name.
    I am very much familiar with TOAD (Tool for Oracle Application Developer). But I am unable to connect to Oracle 8.1.7 Personal Edition database from TOAD. I get a ORA-12541: TNS:no listener error when I give the global database name as the database name.
    Can anybody help me? Your help will be appreciated very much.

    SQL*PLus does not use the listener to connect to Oracle8i Personal Edition. That is why you are able to connect with SQL*Plus and not TOAD when the listener is not started.
