Any sugestions ?

No answers ?
Has anyone successfully run Designer 6i R4.1.1 installation ?
Btw. I downloaded Designer 6i R4.1.1 from Matalink/Patches.
What happens when I run setup.exe is the following:
selecting Oracle Home -->
Choosing Oracle Repository and Designer Install Wizard -->
accepting default packages -->
accepting default specifying behaviour -->
accepting default Customization options -->

ORAINST.EXE - HOW TO RUN IT SILENT ?

As an example, we used to run silently the non-y2k ORAINS.EXE as follows: ORAINTS.EXE /silent /install w32sodbc250
The Y2K version does not seem to support this syntax.
How can I run silently the new ORAINST.EXE to install/deinstall SQL*NET, SQLPLUS, ODBC etc.
FYI, silent installation is very important for us; our customer wants no end-user interaction during Oracle7 client installation...
I have been looking around the WEB (for about 4 hours) for this information with no luck.
Hope someone can help!

Check your regular PC shop, Newegg, SilentPCReview.com there is no special right one, just has to fit, and my Mac Pro has some dampeners that fit between the door and case, but the vibration is on the upper front and lower back corners, even though it seemed to start with addition of hard drive.
Over the 4 yrs there have been a good dozen or more threads on what, why, and how this hum and whether different drive hums can trigger such a clash.
For a long time I kept my case on its side (using coffee table) because the high pitch was otherwise so annoying the minute I entered the room, not loud but a "just right" (or wrong) pitch. Now it seems to be okay (and after I built what I hoped was the ultimate silent PC).

Orainst.exe error

I am not able to install Forms 6i on Windows XP Prof machine. Is this not supported on XP? The software pack that I tried to install is 6i_rel2_xp.
Thanks in advance.

Forms 6i is not yet supported on XP. Forms 9i is.

ODBC IN WIN95 & NT

제품 : ODBC
작성날짜 : 1997-10-10
The ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) interface allows applications to
access data in DBMS ( Database management systems) using SQL(structured query language). Oracle ODBC driver is a DLL that implements ODBC
function callsand interacts with a data source.
The flow of control when communicating from an application through
ODBC to Oracle database is as shown below.
Application
|
ODBC driver manager
|
Oracle7 ODBC Driver
|
OCI layer
|
SQL*Net Driver
|
Network Software
( PCTCP, Novell NetWare, Microsoft LAN Manager, etc,.)
|
SQL*Net Listener
|
Oracle7 RDBMS
When a third party application communicates with the Oracle database
in a Client/Server environment, several dynamic link libraries are
involved. ODBC driver is a DLL that implements ODBC function calls.
The ODBC driver communicates with the OCI layer. The DLLs used in
the OCI layer are part of Required Support Files. Required Support
Files are bundled with SQL*Net. Each version of the ODBC driver is
linked with a specific version of RSF. Each version of SQL*Net is
also dependent on a specific version of RSF. The matrix below shows
the dependency.
ODBC driver| 16/32| Supported | Supported | RSF version | RDBMS
version | bit | Platforms | SQL*NET ver| used | version
1.11.00.05 | 16 | Windows | 2.0.X | 7.0.X | 7.0

~~ : You must use SQL*Net for Windows NT, if you are running your
application
on Windows NT. If you are running your application on Windows 95,
you must use SQL*Net for Windows 95.
NOTES:
If you are running an ODBC driver not listed in the above matrix, we
strongly recommend that you upgrade your ODBC driver.
Basics:
If your application is a 32-bit application, you must use 32-bit Oracle
ODBC driver and 32-bit SQL*Net for the platform, your application is
targeted. For a 16-bit application, you must use 16-bit Oracle ODBC
driver along with SQL*Net for Windows(16-bit).
SQL*Net Version 1.X
If you are using SQL*Net Version 1.X, your connection should work
against 7.2 or older Oracle databases. SQL*Net Version 1.X was
de-supported June 30,1996. We recommend that you upgrade your SQL*Net.
Connecting to Standalone Personal Oracle Database:
If you connect to a local, standalone Personal Oracle database, you
will use a two-task driver ( In the above flow chart the two-task
driver will replace SQL*Net). The connect string is 2:<SID> where
<SID> is the instance ID. The default SID is ORCL. (no period)
ODBC Documentation:
The Oracle7 ODBC driver comes with on-line help. The help file name
is DRVORA7*.HLP * could take values NULL, 1, or 2 depending upon the
version of the Oracle ODBC driver installed.
For ODBC API documentation, refer ODBC 2.0 Programmer's Reference and
SDK Guide from Microsoft Press. The online version of ODBC 2.0
Programmer's Reference and SDK guide is part of MSVC++ compiler.
Version of Oracle product: How to find ?
To find the versions of Oracle software installed on your machine run
the Oracle installer (ORAINST.EXE). In case of errors, versions
numbers are an important part of problem definition.
Common ODBC Q&A
Q. I have two ODBC drivers, 1.11.0.5.0 and 1.11.1.5.0. Which driver
should I install?
A. The version of the ODBC driver you will install is dependent on the
Required Support Files (RSF) you have on your system. If you are
running RSF 7.0.X, you need to install 1.11.5.0. If you are running
RSF 7.1X, you need to install 1.11.1.5.0.
You can find the RSF version by running ORAINST.EXE, the Oracle installer.
When ORAINST.EXE is run the Software Asset Manager displays the
products
available to install as well as those products already installed.
Search for the Required Support File and make note of the version.
Q. What other products do I need so that the ODBC driver works?
A. You definitely need the appropriate SQL*Net version (16-bit or 32-bit).
Make sure that SQL*Net is installed and configured correctly before you
try to connect through ODBC. For example, if you are using 32-bit ODBC
driver for Windows 95, and TCP/IP is your protocol, you must have SQL*Net
for Windows 95 (TCP/IP) installed and configured, before you can make a
connection through ODBC.
Note: If you are connecting to a standalone Personal Oracle7 for
MS Windows, you do not need SQL*Net. Personal Oracle7 uses a two
task driver - SQL2TT.dll to connect to its standalone databse.
32-bit ODBC driver required 32-bit SQL*Net and
16-bit ODBC driver requires 16-bit SQLNet.
You also need the appropriate version of Required Support Files installed
on your system.
Error: specified driver could not be located
solution:
a) Check the odbc driver is present (see 1. above) and pointed to.
b) Check correct RSFs are installed and OH\bin is on the DOS path.
For Windows can set the DOS path in autoexec.bat or before
running windows. For Win 95 can only set in autoexec.bat. For
NT can set in autoexec.bat but usually through Control Panel,
System - has list of system environment variables.
c) For older installs nettest may be available else may have
tnsping. If this or any Oracle product can connect then the
net (and Sqlnet if Oracle product) is ok.
Error: error occurred in networking software, check log file
c:\msocklib.txt
but only from ODBC connections - other oracle products are fine.
Log file: TSR/DLL version incorrect
Solution:
a) Check the version of msocklib.dll. Sqlplus etc often picks up
the correct one whereas ODBC will use the DOS path. Ensure
OH\bin is first in the DOS path.
Problem: Have ODBC 1.11 and Sqlnet 2.2 and getting gpfs in nls dlls etc.
Solution:
a) Generally any version of the RSFs can call any equivalent or
later version of Sqlnet. In 2.2 of Sqlnet they changed the
calls so they were no longer backwardly compatible. This was
fixed in Sqlnet 2.3. Thus 7.0 and 7.1 RSFs can use net 2.0, 2.1
or 2.3.
Problem: Want to connect to a V6 database.
Answer: Can't. ODBC queries the dictionary views which changed in O7.
Problem: Using Lotus Approach version 3.0 and having various problems,
eg no tables being retrieved for users.
Solution: Get a patch from Lotus to take Approach to version 3.0.2.
Problem: VB Enterprise Edition (4.0) provides a remote data control.
This gives "driver not capable" errors.
Reason: The data control uses RDO which we would not support most
features of anyway since RDO is ODBC level 2 (see compliancy
above). There is also a bug (371374) that prevents any part
of it being used.
Problem: Calling a stored procedure from Visual C++ with an out
character parameter gives ora-6502: numeric or value error.
Solution: a) initialise the C variable before it is passed to the
procedure.
b) make the C variable a char and not an unsigned char (uchar).
Problem: Getting a "driver not capable" error when calling
SQLBindParameter or SQLSetParam.
Solution: Change any references to SQL_C_ULONG or SQL_C_SLONG to
SQL_C_LONG (equivalent of SQL_C_SLONG). SQL_C_ULONG and
SQL_C_SLONG are level 2 datatypes and so not supported.
Note SQLBindParameter is also level 2 but is allowed since
our drivers simply convert the calls to SQLSetParam.
Problem: With NLS settings such that the NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS are
the opposite to usual (G = . and D = ,) a fetch of a decimal
number gives "SQLSTATE: 22005, Native Return Code: 0" errors
when querying through ODBCTEST, MS Query etc.
Solution: This is a bug (297648) which is fixed in the 1.16 ODBC drivers.
Question: Is there an ODBC driver for use with Java?
Answer: JavaSoft is currently writing one for Oracle 7 on SUNOS.
General Suggestions:
Please read the release notes and the online documentation. They contain
important information.
In case of error, please write down the entire error message as seen on the
monitor(screen). An error message is key in finding the problem.
Where can I get Oracle ODBC drivers?
The Oracle ODBC drivers are available as free products on the world-wide web.

Forms installation....ERROR

Hello All!
I have just installed Oracle 8i (8.1.6) on windows XP, I created a new database called "Test" too.But I am unable to install Forms 6i..the error it gives is "ORAINST.EXE has encountered an error" and it closes the install program.does this have anything to do with the DB being created? Could anybody walk me thru this proces?? HELP!
Thanks!

Hi,
I am facing the same problem, however with one major difference. I installed Personal Oracle 8.1.7 and was able to install Forms 6i successfully and was able to connect to the database. However, I could not install Discoverer and was getting the orainst.exe error - mod oibknd32.dll. I deinstalled Forms 6i and tried to install Discoverer, but with no luck. Now I am unable to install Forms 6i back.
The only changes made from the time I first installed Forms 6i and now, is that I downloaded and installed all the security patches that Microsoft came up with for Windows XP.
Hope someone can help.
TIA

XP Issue w/Sequence of Loading Oracle 8i SQL & 6i Forms

I am in the 8i Application Developer Cert Track working on MS Windows XP.
Our class was provided with Oracle 8i Personal Edition (for SQL) as the first product to load for Intro to PL/SQL (class I) and PL/SQL Blocks (class II).
That product is loaded and is working fine.
I am now in the Internet Forms I Class and have been given Oracle 6i - Forms & Reports to load.
I am told the order of installation is a problem IF Forms is not loaded BEFORE Oracle 8i.
I am getting the following error when the XP machine attempts to read the CD-ROM with Oracle 6i Forms and Reports: orainst.exe encountered a problem and needs to close.
Is there a specific version of 6i Forms for XP? Where can I locate and download this version?
I am looking for instructions on how to resolve the issues related to the order of installation since 8i is already loaded and attempting to remove this product does not remove it completely.......AND the 6i Forms CD will not even run on XP.
ANY direction would be appreciated.
THANKS!

I got exactly same problem when installing Oracle 6i on P4 Windows XP and Orcle 8i. If you have a solution, please help me.
Thanks,

Installation Oracle Reports 6i vs 2 NT on Windows XP

I want to install the reports 6i NT -CD on my Windows XP
and that doesn't work. The error after starting the setup is about orainst.exe. (of course it is working properly on windows-2000)
So the question is what can i do to get it working on Windows XP ? ( I make custom-reports for Oracle Applicatons financials 11i for our education company)
Anneke

Tom,
Thanks for replying.
I don't see what I can compile. The initial program I am trying to compile is very simple it has a connect statement followed by the definition of a cursor, the cursor is opened and the fetch is performed. The program crashes on performing the open of the cursor. It seems to me that Pro*C is producing C output that the comipilers, (cl.exe in the visual studio .Net IDE, or mingw gcc for win32), cannot turn into runnable code on the Windows XP Professional platform. Pro*C is not open source code so I cannot recompile that, Microsoft cl.exe is most definately not open source. gcc is open source and I suppose I could recompile that but surely the mingw win32 compiler should work as it is standard and widely used. Anyway the output of both the compilers fails. Maybe I will compile gcc for my installation but it seems to me like Pro*C is probably the culprit here and trying to run the Oracle 8.1.7 version on XP may not be possible. I posted here in case this is a known problem.
Another thought has just occured to me that maybe I should try running a 10g or 9i version of Pro*C on the 8.1.7 installation. How would I get this? Would I have to install the whole installations to get the binary?

Installing Developer 6i on Linux

Hi! I'm having problems to install Developer 6i on Linux. I'm using windowmaker.
I follow the instructions from installation guide, but I don't know how do I do to execute the installation program.
I windows' installations exist commonly a SETUP.exe or ORAINST.exe program. But in Linux I don't found these programs.

I have tried to start installer developer 6i on linux with orainst/orainst. But it didn't work. the message is "bad interpreter: No such file or directory".
What should i do to start the installer? based on manual installation, it should be easy. But why it failed?

Forms & Reports Runtime 6i with XP with 8.1.7 Middleware, Forms install hangs.

Here it goes!
I work at a large corporation and we have random installer problems with Forms Runtime and Reports Runtime. We have an image that includes Oracle 8.1.7 TCP/IP and ODBC middleware installed on XP under an Active Directory environment. Our problem is, and it became wierd as the installs went on through the last few days... We started out by installing Forms Runtime and all the support files that are, by default, included, then exit the installer, then start an install of Reports Runtime, which worked fine, all was good and the software developed for us worked great. Did I mention we're deploying XP machines at 1.6 GHZ P4's? The next thing you know it, We could only install Forms Runtime but not Reports Runtime! The installer raises an error suggesting the orainst.exe failed.
After some quik research that seemed to solve it, we found that the PATH in the XP registry was altered from EXPANDED_REG_SZ to REG_SZ. We would change it back to EXPANDED_REG_SZ, reboot, and then continue on.... Everything seemed to be solved.
BUT THEN TODAY we cannot even do that. We get as far as installing the Forms Runtime and now 99% of the time we cannot install the Reports Runtime without raising the error of ORAINST.EXE.
Once I changed only 1 entry in the registry called NLS_LANG to NA as type REG_SZ and it installed... I cannot repeat the problem, I tried.
Is this a Rights problem? That's basically what I have boiled it down to. We are changing from an NT server environment to Active Directory and might be experiencing problems relating to rights.
All I can say, is this is the strangest thing I've seen in my 20 years in IT! Nothing makes sense. I did find a couple clues such as using 256 color mode, DEFAULT_HOME should be the name, bvut everything was flawless for about 3 days and 25 installs... Things got worse as the days went by. HELP!!!

Apparently this isn't a major concern with Oracle or the user community, as I'm still awaiting a solution to a similar problem, that is, in ability to install Developer and Designer 2000 with 9i already loaded on XP. Good luck.

Forms 6i and installation on XP problem

HOW TO INSTALL FORMS & REPORTS 6i OVER MS WINDOWS XP OPERATION SYSTEM
1. Enter the Forms & Reports 6i Release 2 CDROM in the drive.
2. Run the Program Compatibility Wizard
From Start Menu->Programs->Accessories->Program Compatibility Wizard
3. Click the following:
Next->I want to use the program in the CDROM drive->
Next-> Microsoft Windows NT Service Pack 5->
Next->Next->
Next-> Yes, set this program to always use this compatibility settings->
Next->No->Next->Finish
4. During the steps taken during the Program Compatibility Wizard the test
screen actually runs up Oracle Installer and it is possible to perform the
installation at this stage)
If the decision was taken not to do this at this stage, perform the
installation now by double-clicking on setup.exe.
5. Note having run through the above steps installing any product via the CD
ROM Windows XP will remember to run in Windows NT 4.0 compatibility mode.
6. It is recommended to apply the latest patchset after the installation of
Oracle Developer Forms & Reports 6i on Windows XP.
In order to be able to also apply the patchset succesfully, the Program
Compatibiltity Wizard again needs to be invoked.
a. Specify 'I want to locate the program manually',
b. Browse for orainst.exe within the <patch extraction directory>\INSTALL
c. Set compatibility to be 'MS Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 5'.
d. Again either perform the installation during the compatibility test step
or run orainst.exe from <patch extraction directory>\INSTALL directory
after compatibility has been set.
