Problems installing Oracle8i on Win XP

Hi,
Anyone knows what to check for problems installing Oracle8i on WindowsXP?
I would appreciate getting a check list so that I or anyone reading the list can understand clearly run through all the steps required in sourcing the problem.
I am writing for a friend so I can't actually state what he is experiencing; only that the WinXP may have been an upgrade installation and not a clean installation. Could that cause problems. The Oracle8i installed and worked fine on the previous system.
I Would really appreciate hel asap. Thanks in advance.
Linda

Lida,
first of all verify the version of Oracle is certified with the version of the Operating System.
then do the following steps to install :
Start the Installer and Install the Oracle Software:
-Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive
-If autorun is configured, the installer will start automatically
-To manually start the installer, double-click on cd:\setup.exe
-From the welcome screen, select NEXT
-From the File Location screen, select NEXT
-Select "Enterprise Edition" for the Install Category.
-Select Typical to install the software, create a database and start
the database (Other selections are available for minimal or custom installs).
-Follow on screen prompts
-The install will begin.
-When completed, the install will have created a default database,configured a listener, and started both for you.
-When the installer completes, you should have a working database running along with the listener.
-Should the installer fail, note the error given. Check nstallActions.log in the C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs directory.
Oracle 8i does not have any installation problem with XP.
hope this will help you.

Problem: install Oracle8 in window98

I have problems of installing Oracle8 in window 98. (error msg:
unable to load WIN32\INSTALL\OIEXEC.DLL file)It seemed that my
operating system could not read 32 bit. (I was able to install
16 bits or window 3.1x, but that is not what I WANTED)
Any suggestion, or maybe I should install window NT4.0.
Thanks for any help

Bonjour,
Can you please reset your permissions for your oracle environment with unison user to include:
ORACLE_HOME= your oracle home (for midtier)
This should resolved the problem.
If not, please create a new itar from Metalink.

There4s no version of Personal 8i for Windows ME. However, you can install this version in your system. Before you do this, modify your WIN.INI file, in section [Compatibility95], adding : Jrew=0x00080000. Reboot your system and try to install. Hope that helps you. Good luck.

Problem Installing Oracle8i on Linux

Hello..
When i try to install Oracle 8i in my RedHat Linux 6.1 , i am getting an error
Error in CreateOUIProcess():-1
: Bad Address.
at the start itself..
Any one knows what is problem??
null

This is a known problem.
Firstly, make sure that you're running the right version of the JVM. I
don't know what Oracle do with their software, but it's very dependent
on the version you use.
Secondly, it might help if, instead of running runInstaller from the
root of the CD, you move into install/linux and run the runInst.sh
shell script instead.
This problem seems more common on RedHat 6.1 than 6.0 and could be
something to do with a newer C library.
I've also heard reports that if you have the wrong version of Gnome
you might get this problem. Upgrade or switch to another environment
such as KDE or Fvwm2.
Hope this help you!

Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDA: Problems installing webcam on Win 7

Hi there guys,
its been a few weeks since installing Windows 7, only for the last few days have i actually bothered to install toshiba software (dont stone me!).
Right now I've been scratching my head when installing the webcam drivers. When the install is done and after a reset, all it says is Webcam failed to initialize, please restart cam or computer.
Restarting the laptop wont do anything
I am using a Toshiba Satellite pro A300 PSAGDA-01C00R, do these drivers simply not work for the time being on 7?
any help would be great, thanks!

Hello
I have installed THIS version of webcam driver on my Win7 preinstalled Satellite A300 and it works perfectly.
I have tested preinstalled software and it runs well. I have also tested it with Skype. No problems at all.
Test it on your Satellite too.

This is my work-around for RH 7. This John Smiley's step-by-step description which is posted elsewhere on this forum. It is better put than my original post:
Here is a step-by-step process for getting Oracle 8.1.6 or 8.1.7 working on systems with glibc 2.2 (don't bother with 8.1.5 if you can help it):
1. Install the compat-glibc RPM for 2.1.3.x
2. cd to the directory where compat-glibc installed the files (for me it's /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib).
3. Copy the following files to $ORACLE_HOME/lib:
libc-2.1.3.so
libpthread.so
libdl.so
ld-linux.so.2
For me, several of these are symbolic links, so you'll need to copy the target of the symbolic link and rename it to the link name when you copy it to $ORACLE_HOME/lib.
For example, if ls -l shows:
ld-linux.so.2 -> ld-2.1.3.so
libc-2.1.3.so
libdl.so -> libdl.so.2
libpthread.so -> libpthread.so.0
Then you will:
cp ld-2.1.3.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib/ld-linux.so.2
cp libc-2.1.3.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib
cp libdl.so.2 $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libdl.so
cp libpthread.so.0 $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libpthread.so
4. Create a file in $ORACLE_HOME/lib called libc.so with the following contents (as a single line):
GROUP ( <OH>/lib/libc-2.1.3.so <OH>/lib/ld-linux.so.2 <CL>/libc_nonshared.a )
Substitute the value of $ORACLE_HOME for <OH> and the location of the compat-glibc directory for <CL>. For example:
My $ORACLE_HOME is:
/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
and my compat-glibc directory is:
/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib
so the GROUP line looks like this for me:
GROUP (/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/libc-2.1.3.so /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/libc_nonshared.a)
This is all one line.
5. cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
6. Run the following command from the UNIX prompt:
relink all
All of the Oracle software, including the assitants, will work fine now.

Problems installing Oracle8i v 8.1.6 on ICL Teamserver running Unixware

When trying to do the above I receive an error saying that runInstaller could not be found.When I edited the script, it appears that that it looks for one of three forms of Unix via /bin/uname.
when I type uname -a I receive the following
UNIX_SV oliver 4.2MP 2.01 i386 x86at
Am I right to say that the version of Unix (UNIX_SVR4 2.01) is not supported, or can I overcome this by modifying the install script ?

Installing oracle8i personal edition on windows ME

I am having a problem installing oracle8i personal edition on windows ME.
The error on running the setup.exe was "jrew has caused an error in javai.dll. " A fix was reported on the internet for this , which is adding a line ": Jrew=0x00080000" to compatibility95 in the win.ini file. Appaarently this fix worked for few people, but it is making no difference for me.
Please provide a solution for this. email:[email protected]

Installing -- jai1_0_2-sample-win--

Hi everyone,
I don't know if I've posted this in the right section, but ok...
I have a problem installing jai1_0_2-sample-win. When I try to install this package, it complains about the fact that the java 2 sdk hasn't been installed. However, I have also installed j2sdk-1_4_2_12-nb-5_0-win-ml.
So I don't know why it is complaining. Or am I missing something here?

Problem Installing EM Cloud control 12c in Win Server 2008

Hi All,
I having problem installing the EM in win server 2008 64bits. I already installed java run time but when i click on the setup.exe in the disk 1 after unzip it does not show the installation wizard and any error message. Did i miss out something? do i need to create the user group and user as stated in the installation guide as stated in this link Installing Enterprise Manager System - 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1)?

Hi, can you open an SR for this issue and share the number. Lets check few basic things:
a) can you make sure that all the zips are downloaded from OTN have correct byte and checksum information
b) Can you make sure that you unzipped all these zips files in a single folder ?
c) After unzipping can you check if you have following folders created ( not these folder are for linux but they will be same on windows) -
install      libskgxn      plugins     response     stage     WT.zip
jdk     oms     runInstaller      wls
d) Can you invoke setup.exe -debug
then look at the logs from -
C:\Users\aime\AppData\LocalTemp\2\OraInstall2013-07-09_04-10-59AM   ( for windows it will be orInstaller.err and log )
You donot need any user group or any thing created.

Installed Oracle8i problem

Dear Friends,
I installed Oracle8 in Windows95 before and had no
problem.
However, recently I tried a few times to install
Oracle8i in Windows2000(Professional), it always pop
up a message box by saying "Invalid staging area.
There are no top level components for WindowsNT
available for install from this staging area."
The Oracle8i CD shows that it's for Win95/98/NT but doesn't mention about Windows2000.
What components my computer needs? How to solve this problem, what should I do?
Thanks.
