Problem Downloading "Oracle Database 10g EX for Windows"

Hi,
When I try to download “Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1) Express Edition for Microsoft Windows” I get message:
Internet Explorer cannot download OracleXE.exe from download.oracle.com.
The server returned an invalid or unrecognized response
I tried using Mozila and Opera, I got different message but no result.
Please help,
Dan

Corrupt Data1.cab in Oracle Express 10g Universal for Windows

Hello Oracle Folks,
I downloaded several times Oracle Express 10g Universal for Windows (OracleXEUniv.exe) and tried to install it and I get every time the same error message: "Error 1335. The required file "Data1.cab" is corrupt and cannot be used ...". When I download the Western European Edition (OracleXE.exe) the installation works! I downloaded the file on different local disks to exclude the risk that my disk is damaged.
Can you please check if this download is sane!
Thanks and best regards Thomas Mayr

Amazing reply Hans.
I have seen some arrogent smart mouth answers in my time. But this really takes the cake. Also judging from the icon you are some kind of employee of oracle. Wow! Now that shows respect for your users.
Sorry to disappoint you - I am not an employee of Oracle. Much of your rant is irrelevant.
I am simply a person who has volunteered enough time to provide over 8,000 repsonses in these forums and many more in other forums.
Many, many, many of the questions are pure repetition due to the extreme laziness, incompetence or inability to do basic thinking by the questioners. There are also a lot of questions by 'newbies' who have obviously made an attempt to research the problem.
My approach to answering questions is simple and two-fold:
- make the person angry enough, or aware ennough, that they will think a bit when asking the next question;
- if they ask a question intelligently (http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html) I usually am convinced to help.
(And yes, I do take longer breaks when I find myself being frustrated enough to provide answers like the above.)
The stupid installation program for your stupid database was supposed to check the version of the Operating System. Anyway how does the operating system version matter if a cab file is corrupted? which was incidently packed in that stupid download link which you have happily given to all customers all this time. I was hoping to find that since you guys are too lazy to make the installation file properly you might have atleast bothered to put up a download link for that stupid Data1.cab. But nooo... The 'stupid installation program' is indeed that - a stupid installation program. It does a certain amount of checking, but definitely not enough. In that I do agree with you. It was also released too early - basrely understands how to spell Vista.
Also, there is an assumption by Oracle that the person downloading reads the documentation, especially the installation guide, that is available at the same location as the download. It is amazing and extremely disappointing to note how many people will not even attempt to look at the link.
The real sad part for me is that I frequently download software (and did again in this case) to verify that the user has a legitimate complaint. The 'data1.cab' that I received was not corrupt. Therefore I conclude the original poster made some huge assumption that is likely invalid. Now, I did install into an XP machine, and that could make a difference.
As for the 'you guys' statement - perhaps you should take that up with Oracle or an Oracle employee. Directing at me is an unsubstantiated assumption on your part. <g>
>
I wasted some time thinking I would check out the db for development, got the same error and after seeing your mealy mouthed response to that poor guy who was asking a valid question, I think I won't bother anymore. You see, there is this amazing thing called Linux and MySQL..
Yup. You could easily go there. Shows yet another assumption. (In fact, my company is centered around Linux and Oracle. And I have made a conscious decision, based on 3 decades of experience, to toss MySQL and stick with Oracle. And now that Sun, which owns MySQL, seems to be on the auction block, the future of MySQL is definitely up in the air.)
However, given how many assumptions you make and how valid they are, you may find it easier to stick with MySQL. Oracle Express edition potentially could save huge buckets of time and effort in the long run, but it does require reading, research and other skills to get up to speed.
Now, as to your problem
1) This is not the forum to discuss issues with installation. (If the problem is traced to the download source, then this is the right spot.)
2) There is a dedicated forum for Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Express Edition (Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)
3) You are absolutely correct that the installer should be smart enough to check the OS. It does not.
4) Since it does not, and since there are differences, knowing which version AND edition of Windows (or which Linux distro and release) is critical to troubleshooting.

Where can I get Oracle database server 9i for windows 2003

Hi,
I need Oracle Database Server 9i for Windows 2003. From Oracle online download, there is one a patch set available. Where can I get the full version?
Thanks
Laura

Hi, I found the solution. There is no software to direcly install Oracle 9i on Windows 2003. I need to install the software for NT/2000 first, the patch it.
That's why there is only patchset for 2003 for downloading. See the doc below:
three installation components required to install
Oracle9i Database release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) on Windows Server 2003. These three
installation components must be installed in the order listed. If you are
migrating a pre-existing Oracle9i database to Windows Server 2003, first
upgrade the database to the Oracle9i Database release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) patch set
before upgrading the operating system.
Obtain the following installation components:
Oracle9i Database Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) for Windows
Oracle Universal Installer release 2.2.0.18.0 for Windows
Oracle9i Database Release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) Patch Set for Windows

From where I can download Oracle Client 11g R2 for Windows 7 64bit? Thanks in advance.

From where I can download Oracle Client 11g R2 for Windows 7 64bit? Thanks in advance.

Search engine broken?
Just search for Oracle 11g download and you get this link on the very first page
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html
Then select 'See All' from the Microsoft Windows (x64) in the Oracle Database 11g Release 2 section
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win64soft-094461.html
Can we assume you know how to search that web page for the word 'Client'?

Which version of Oracle database is best for Windows 7 Home Premium?

Any input as to which version of Oracle database is best for Windows Home premium? Is there a major difference between the express edition and 10g itself as far as the interface/learning purposes goes?

EssbaseApprentice wrote:
Any input as to which version of Oracle database is best for Windows Home premium?That's easy to answer, none . No oracle database version was released for Home(Premimum) series. There are several blog posts/articles which do mention that they have installed oracle releases over Home(Premium) platforms but whether it would work or not, it would be just a lottery and help regarding troubleshooting would not be there.
Is there a major difference between the express edition and 10g itself as far as the interface/learning purposes goes?You mean 10g Express Edition and 10g Enterprise, Standard Editions? If yes, then there is indeed difference. The Express edition is more like a developer's playground with a good looking GUI even there to administer it. EE or SE are the production releases , meant for being used in a very busy, highly concurrent environments. There would be additional features like RAC and Dataguard that would come with EE and wont be there in the XE. So if you are learning to become a production DBA, you should right away use EE or SE IMO .

You need to download 10.1.0.1 from OTN and then download 10.1.0.4 patch from metalink to patch up to 10.1.0.4.
There's no direct 10.1.0.4 download.

Issue Downloading Oracle Database 10g Release 2 for MS Windows

It took a couple of hours to download the software and "save" it to a folder. When I double-click on the setup.exe file nothing happens. I am not sure if there was a problem with my download (my internet connection is not the fastest).
When that didn't work, I tried downloading the software again, but this time selected "open" rather than "save". Again nothing happens.
Does anyone have a suggestion for me? Thanks

Use a download manager instead of letting IE or firefox manage the download. Compute the checksum for the downloaded file and tally that with the one available on download page.
I presume you are downloading the correct version of 10gR2 for your version of Windows (which you have not posted).

Where can I download Oracle.DataAccess.Lite.dll for Windows CE 5

Hi,
I'm starting a project with Visual Studio 2008 and I need to access an Oracle Database.
After searching a lot, I found this page: Oracle Database Lite 10g Mobile Client Windows Mobile, but it's for Windows Mobile 6, do you know where can I found the DLL for Windows CE 5 ?
Regards,
Sandro Herbst

Developer 6i is no longer available for download (at least not that I can find: it is not available in the usual places [e-Delivery, OTN, My Oracle Support]). The only way I can think of that you can get the version you need for Red Hat is to contact Oracle Support and submit a special request for the software or if you know someone that has a copy of the software - ask them to make you a copy.
@BelMan, your link at http://www.cedet.dk/ours/otndownloads.html is no longer valid.
Hope this helps,

Now I am ok., the DB installation (10.2) is succeeded, but I installed Oracle forms builder 10.1, and when I tried to connect the form with the database, it requested from me to enter database name, I cannot know the exact name, Is there a way to find it?? (the error: ORA-12154)

Can Not Download Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Beta Release

When I try to download the 10g Express Edition, I can not get past the License page! After I answer all the questions and hit Accept, the Download page comes up for about three seconds, then it reverts to the License page. This happens constantly on Netscape 7.2, FireFox1.0, and IE 6.

I am experiencing the same problem. Have tried different browsers and also downloading different versions (10g enterprise, 9i).
