Oracle9i Personal edition on XP pro

I uninstalled the working Oracle9i standard edition and removed all the registry entries and folders. When I try to reinstall, in the universal installer navigation window destination path is empty. If I give it manually and click next, it says problem in accessing the stage area.
Anyone with clue what is happening here?
I appreciate your help

Guys,
I have been doing this for years - on solaris, linux and windows. You have 2 Oracle homes - one for the database and one for the forms. 6i - or iDS does not matter - 2 Oracle Homes. Same on Linux/Solaris/Windows - ok.
Define the TNS_ADMIN environment variable (applies to all 3 OS above). Set it to a directory of your choice - better yet create one. On solaris and linux /var/opt/oracle is a good choice. On windows create a directory of your choice. Also define the TWO_TASK and ORACLE_SID environment variables to match your database server settings.
Ftp the database server's tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files to the directory you created (TNS_ADMIN points to).
To be certain that you are not using the Forms' Home/network/admin/tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files - rename them. You will not use them and you won't need them (unless you want to edit them to include the tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora entries from your Database server's /network/admin/tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files.
That is it - next time you connect from the forms you should be able to connect. If you want provide the connect string (3rd field in the connection window) to ensure you pointing to the right db server.
You don't need to configure your Forms' network services again - all you do is use the Oracle database server's network configuration files.
Hope this proves useful.

    Hi,
    I downloaded the following product from your site today, Aug.17, 2002:
    Oracle9i Personal Edition
    Release 1 (9.0.1.1.0) for Windows 98
    Part Number A95905-01
    After the installation, there was a message that said that installation was completed already,
    and that I had to reboot the PC. And so I did.
    Please take note that my database will be a "standalone" one.
    I tried connecting as scott/tiger and I also tried connecting as scott/TIGER,
    and I just left the field "Host String" blank, not knowing what to put in.
    Normally, I was expecting a readme.txt that will provide that useful info, but I couldn't find one
    that would tell me.
    Also, after I press the OK button in the ORACLE SQL*Plus Log on window,
    it prompts me for an Oracle9i startup password.
    (Please see attached file.)
    Please advise.

    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.

    Where is the Oracle9i Personal Edition File (for XP)? I cannot get to it from the download area. I keep getting the error, "Sorry, this page was not found. (ErrorDocument 404)".
    Thanks!

    Officially Oracle is not supported on XP Home (see http://www.oracle.com/technology/support/metalink/index.html). You can try to install anyway. Download the software (database + developer suite) from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html

  • Unable to install Oracle 8i personal edition into W2K pro

    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?

  • Startup password in Oracle9i Personal Edition (Win 98)

    I have installed Oracle9i but I can`t work with it because I am not able to pass the beginning password. It ocurrs during the stating up when appears a dialogue box where you can read "checking security" and after that the system asks for the password which I don't know. This password don't have any relation with the passwords accounts: system manager / sys change_on _install,. That´s what i think.
    Help me, please.

    If you are at the screen where it's asking for the sys and system password with confirmation, you need to enter the passwords.

  • Installing Oracle Personal edition

    Hi,
    I am Ritesh Kothari.Currently doing my MS in computer science from Ohio University. I want to install Oracle Personal Edition on my Win98 machine. Currently I have 1 GB of hard disk free.I have downloaded the Oracle9i Personal Edition Release 9.0.1.1.0 for Microsoft Windows 98
    The file: A91514-01.zip.
    But when I click on setup.exe then nothing happens. I didnt understand what is the problem? Plz help me.

    Try this:
    Just found this on the be.comp forum: Will try it tonight.
    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.

  • 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.

    Oracle8i client installation will provide you with the Pro*C pre-compiler.

    Unable to download Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal Edition for Windows NT/2000/XP

    If you read the Release notes for 9.2.0.3 for Win 2003, it says
    "Releases prior to the 9.2.0.3.0 patch set are not certified on Windows Server 2003".
    You'll avoid known and maybe some unknown problems with it, so just install 9.2.0.1 and then apply 9.2.0.3 patch set and be happy :)

  • 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.

    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.
