Problems facing while installing Oracle 8i personal edition under win98se

hello,
I am having problems while installing Oracle 8i personal edition
under win98se.
I am stuck on the creation of database. it always stuck at 85%.
I've try installed many many times.. but it still the same..
what can i do?
i am using win98 se.
is there any solution for this problems?
thanks~!

Under Win 98SE (Personal Oracle 8i)creation of database - very
long. Therefore choose a mode of creation of base - copy from CD.
Then the base can be increased.

  • An issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on Ubuntu 10.04-64bit

    Hi,
    I'm running into an issue while installing oracle 10g express edition on my Ubuntu 10.04-64 bit installed machine using oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.0_i386.deb package. The issue actually came up when I was trying to reinstall the package after uninstalling it due to some problem I had with my login credentials. To elaborate further on it, the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script does not get created when I execute the debian package and thus i'm unable to configure the required credentials and stuff after the installation. I doubt whether this has something to do with the procedure I followed when uninstalling the previous package it. But what I did was just what's mentioned in the following [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25144/toc.htm] user guide published by oracle.
    Another important clue would be, the platform of my machine is amd64bit although I'm dealing with an installation package preferred for i386. But I believe it's the only thing available in the oracle software download section. Hence I had to use the --force-architecture option to install it. But after reading some post published on this forum, I've figured out that it does not affect the usual execution of the software. Anyway,  I would greatly appreciate some help on this matter.

    Hi,
    Finally I've managed to find a solution for this issue. Thanks a lot for all the replies.
    Here's how I got rid of it.
    Addressing all the facts one by one,
    1.The problem of not getting the /etc/init.d/oracle-xe script generated was avoided
    by removing all the configuration files that were previously created while installing
    the product. The following command can be used to accomplish that task.
    *$ dpkg --purge oracle-xe*
    2.Next, Initially the password I used during the configuration process was "admin".
    Although I tried a couple of times installing the product providing the aforementioned
    password, the web UI kept prompting "Invalid Credentials" message not allowing me
    to login. But, this particular issue could be avoided by giving some other simple
    password.
    Finally, got it working and once again thanks a bunch for taking the burden of
    replying this thread.
    Cheers,
    Prabath

  • Cannot install Oracle 8i (Personal Edition) 8.1.7 on Windows 98 (Second Edition)

    Hello,
    I am unable to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on my Windows 98 (Second Edition) system. I have selected "typical" install. All the files get installed (100% complete) but then the Configuration Tool install phase fails to complete when installing Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. I get the following error message :
    java.lang.NullpointerException
    at DropOracle.QueryDB(Compiled Code)
    at DeletePanel.InitControls(Compiled Code)
    at DeletePanel.<init>(DeletePanel.java:100)
    at DBCreateWizard.<init>(DBCReateWizard.java:569)
    at DBCreateWizard.main(DBCreateWizard.java:1422)
    The system just hangs with the "in progress" message.
    The previous step -
    The Net8 Configuration Assistant install completes successfully
    (return code 0).
    If anyone can help me resolve my problem it will be greatly appreciated.
    Or if you could tell me which Oracle email address (or phone number) I should address my problem to it will be appreciated. I do NOT have a Oracle Support Licence (I only purchased the evaluation CD pack).
    I have installed Java 2 (JDK 1.3) in a separate directory - but I understand Oracle 8i has its own version of JRE 1.1... in its own subdirectory structure ... so my JDK 1.3 should not be interfering with the Oracle 8i installation programs.
    Many thanks in advance.

    What is your RAM? I ran into the same problem, even though I had more RAM then required. I had to shutdown everything, make a very basic wallpaper that did not put too much strain on the system, then it installed.
    Unistall Oracle, remove all the remaining files and the directory by hand. Also you have to remove any trace of Oracle in your regedit. Check if path to Oracle is still in autoexec.bat; if it is delete it - the Oracle path not the file. Reboot and then do Alt-Ctr-Del and turn off all the unecessary programs and try installing it again.
    Hope it works.

  • Installing Oracle 10g personal edition

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Oracle 10g personal edition on ubuntu. After installing I ran the following command: /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure and by mistake gave a port number for HTTP port on which already another server is running. But now I am unable to change my configuration settings.
    Everytime I give the command /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure it says "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition is already configured"
    How can I change the configuration setting now? Do I need to reinstall it? Would be a great help, if somebody can tell me.
    Thanks,
    tulip

  • Installing Oracle 8i Personal Edition in Win98

    Hi,
    Would like to find out if there is any issue in installing Oracle 8i Personnal Edition in windows ME.
    I have this error message when I tried to install the programme.
    "Jrew has caused an error in JAVAI.DLL. Jrew will now close."
    Anyone can help ??
    Thanks a million... :)

    It won't work on ME. Look back in the discussion forum about a month ago, some people wrote in about how you might change your registry to get it to work. Didn't work on my system though. Good luck!

  • This problem appears while installing oracle 10g on enterprise linux

    While installing oracle 10g on enterprise linux 5 this message apear:
    http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?image=problemqy2.png
    More Info:
    Oracle 10g supports redhat 4 and Enterprise Linux is redhat 5 so I changed the redhat-release to 4 to countinue setup but the above error appears, also I tried this configuration on SuSE 10 I changed the SuSE-release to 9 and went good.

    The packeges are already installedIf you execute runInstaller again is the error message the same as before?
    If yes can you post output for this command?
    rpm -qa --qf '%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n'|grep -i 'libxp'

  • Problem installing oracle 817 Personal Edition in non-interactive mode

    When I install oracle 817 PE in silent mode, if there's a pre-8.1.6 version of Oracle already installed the Oracle Data Migration Assistant pops up. This is exactly what I don't want to happen. Is there a way to keep ODMA from launching? Thank you.

    It is not possible installing Oracle in WINDOWS ME platform, because this won't support for ORACLE. Unfortunately ORACLE also have no version for WINDOWS ME. If possible, upgrade your OS to WINDOWS 2000 or downgrade to WINDOWS 98 and try it.

  • Installing Oracle 9i Personal Edition on XP

    Hi, I am trying to install 9i Personal Edition on my Dell PC running XP. It gets 2% complete and gives me an error "Invalid Staging Area. There are no top level components for Windows NT for installion in this staging area." Another problem is that I am accessing our other oracle databases from this desktop and after this install fails it screws up my registry entries so bad that none of my montoring tools work and I have to manually fix it. Any suggestions?

    Do you have any oracle products currently installed?

    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? Is the machine a P4? there is a known problem
    I don't know about his machine, but mine is a P4. Where do I find this information about this problem? And is there a fix? I need to install the NET8 Assistant.

    Did you install Oracle first before you started sapinst? Did you execute RUNINSTALLER in the SAP subdirectory of the RDBMS DVD or the standard runInstaller?

  • Receiving error when trying to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition

    I'm trying to install 8i personal edition, and the installer is attempting to use this file as the stage file: D:\stage\products.jar. I can only assume its corrupt. Can anyone help me?
    Steve

    The error message I get on the install is, "INVALID STAGING AREA. NO TOP LEVEL COMPONENTS FOR WINDOWS 95 AVAILABLE FOR INSTALL." The install is using C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\INSTALL\STAGE\ PRODUCTS.JAR, which is where the UNZIP placed the components. The 8i Personal Edition I downloaded was for Windows 98, so I don't understand why it's looking for Windows 95 components. Also, I have Windows ME, not Windows 98, but I assume this download should work for Windows ME?

Maybe you are looking for
