Problem installing Oracle 11g on Windows XP Professional SP2

I removed my Oracle 10g express from my XP Professional according the
the blog at
http://aricsblog.blogspot.com/2005/08/uninstalling-oracle-10g-manually-from.html
Then I downloaded win32_11gR1_database.zip (1824539KB) from oracle and
unzipped it.
If I click either setup.exe or oui.exe, a dos console pops up and
shows the following:
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors
Higher than 256 . Actual 4294968296 Passed
Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from C:\DOCUME~1\Owner
\LOCALS~1\Temp\OraInstall2008-02-17_01-10-35PM. Please wait ...
It hangs there for about 1 minute and disappears, and nothing
happens. Tried it a few times, and every time it was the same
behavior.
Am I missing anything critical? How can I install 11g on XP Pro?
Thank you very much.

Hav you checked you have enough swap space?I had the same issue when I tried installing Forms Developer.

  • About memory issue during installing Oracle 11g on Windows Server 2003

    Hi, all
    When I installed Oracle 11g on Windows Server 2003 which the server is a virtual server, Oracle only can detect 2G memory.
    But there are 4G memory with my server.
    I want to know if the Oracle 11g's new feature or the virtual server lead the issue.
    Also , I want to get your help to resolve the issue, thanks a lot.

    Let me get this straight:
    You have created some virtual machine using someone's unknown VM software.
    You have installed Windows Server 2003 (perhaps, but not confirmed 32-bit) to that VM.
    You have allocated 4GB of memory to the VM (we guess ... not sure I'm ready to take your word on this)
    You are attempting to install Oracle 11g (presumably 11gR1 32 bit for Windows) in the VM
    And the Oracle (installer?) seems to be reporting that you only have 2GB RAM.
    Since I personally have installed Oracle 11g 32bit for Windows on Windows 2003 server with 4GB RAM and had no issues, I would be investigating the (unknown) VM environment.

  • Installing Oracle 11g on windows XP., after installation enterprize manager

    Hello All,
    kindly note that i am new to oracle and having a issue that i cant seem to figure out and hoping a experienced person can answer this.
    i download oracle 11g for windows 32 bit on my laptop, go through the installation and use the option to crate a starter database.
    meet all the pre- req and every thing goes smooth. database gets created, use sqlplus to connect ot the database also open the enterprise manager and and also see the GUI after logging in.
    now what happens it works fine for a day or some times two and when i reboot the machine and go back and try to open the EM its gives me the error cant find the URL. i have tried it few times and it happens every time. i don't know what i am doing it wrong but for some reason the EM manager doesn't work . i can still log on the database using the sqlplus.
    must thing must get changed ( may be the IP address or env some how). i really appreciate if some one can guide me in the right path.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the response,
    well the laptop i am using is a work computer , i installed oracle so i can practice on it.. i Think the IP changes after a while. is that the reason?.. how can i remedy it do my EM works all the time?
    Please advice.

  • Problems installing OBIEE 11g on Windows Server 2008 64 bit

    Hi, I'm trying to install OBIEE 11g on Windows Server 2008 64 bit (standard edition, SP2), and it's blowing up running the installer. The installer gets past the first couple of "info" screens, but blows up prior to coming to the first "real" screen with an error:
    Microsoft Visual C++ Assertion Failed:
    Program: ...
    File: ../../../src/share/native/sun/font/t2k/t2kstrm.c
    Line: 132
    Expression: pos <= t->maxPos
    Has anyone seen this and/or have an idea how to work around this? Note that I did do the prerequisite download / install of the 2005 Visual C++ 64 bit libraries.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Just to close the loop on this thread, this does indeed seem to be some sort of font / java issue on our servers. I've been completely unable to get the install to work using the GUI. However, if I run it from command line using the -silent and -response paramaters along with a proper response file, the install went perfectly. I'm going to continue working the SR with Oracle - don't want to be stuck using -silent mode when things get more complicated, but at least now I can move forward.
    If anyone else has a better workaround - please let me know. "Silent" mode is workable, but difficult and time consuming.
    Thanks,
    Scott

  • Install Oracle 11g on window 7 but unable to login to sql developer.

    I have installed Oracle 11g from Oracle site but once oracle has been installed I am unable maintain connection as a New user in Sql developer.
    Although while installing I have kept both the password blank but when i am login to it keeping User name and password as blank it says as Invalid username/password.
    And same is the case with Sql plus it says your password has been locked but suggest any suggestive reasons for that.

  • How to Install Oracle 11g on Windows Vista

    Hi Everyone, this is Abhinay here i am a Graduate Student from Electronics and i am planning to shift to CS background the main thing i want to know from you guys is " A structured procedure of Installing Oracle 10g on Windows Vista"- So can any one of you guys help me out??????????

    Hi, how are you doing ?
    Just one advice about it. If you want to work with Oracle databases, it will be better to install it on certified OS's. Doing so, you will get better experience and more realistic experience on it.
    Following the Oracle database documentation, you will get all that you need to successfully install the database in the certified OS.

  • Oracle 10g on Windows XP Professional SP2

    I have problem installing oracle 10 g on Windows XP Professional. When the installation goes to "Configuration Assistants", it shows three options, Oracle Net configuration Assistant, Oracle Database Configuration Assistant and iSQL *Plus Configuration Assistant. However, the status of "Oracle Net Configuration Assistant" keep showing "In progress.." for more than 6 hours. It seems the program is not responding, then I stopped the program, uninstall it and tried to install it again but the installation still stopped at "Configuration Assistants". I did the installation/uninstall 3 times already. Could anyone help and provide some solutions?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

    Thanks Eric Jenkinson for the reply.
    I tried the link listed above and I have some troble installing the sample database. Here are some problems.
    1) During the"completing database creation process" (About 85% finished), a window pops up and it said please see the following file for details.
    C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\cfgtoollogs\dbca\sample\emConfig.log
    in tnhe log file I see the following in the last few lines
    oracle.sysman.emcp.util.PlatformInterface serviceCommand
    : Waiting for service 'OracleDBConsolesample' to fully start
    : oracle.sysman.emcp.EMConfig perform
    : C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\cfgtoollogs\dbca\sample\emConfig.log
    oracle.sysman.emcp.EMConfig perform
    : Stack Trace:
    oracle.sysman.emcp.exception.EMConfigException: start「database control」

    2) Then I tried to enter the Enterprise Manager Database control
    by entering http://home:1158/em
    However, the URL changed to
    http://home:1158/em/console/database/instance/repDown
    I opened the portlist.ini and got 1158
    Enterprise Manager Console HTTP Port (sample) = 1158
    (home is the PC name)
    In the web page, it said the following
    "Enterprise Manager is not able to connect to the database instance "
    Anyone have any idea? Thank you so much.

    Hi,
    you have two option to start your oracle service. your problem is your oracle serivce is not start.
    for that you can start manully....
    like
    on command prompt.
    cmd>net start oracleservice<sid>
    or
    you can set automatic for oracle service.
    go services window. start >>>> run >>>> services.msc <<<enter>>>
    check and select oracle services and right click and set automatic..
    every time your system is reboot then oracle service is automatically is start.
    regards
