Re-installation of a damaged/partial install of Oracle Dev Suite 10g (9.0.4

Hi
First of apologies if this is the incorrect location to post - I couldn't find a dedicated forum!!
My problem is this......
I have followed Oracle's guidelines and created a silent installation of the full Dev Suite 10g (9.0.4) and have used this many times successfully to install to fully patched Windows XP Pro workstations.
Periodically the installation fails and only partially completes....no problem I naively thought - reinstall.
Initially I tried re-installing over the top of the partial install - but this always fails with the error "You have specified a non-empty directory to install this product...etc"
Oracle's recommended method is to uninstall and then reinstall - except the installer doesn't think anything is installed.
The obvious thing was then to delete all folders and files pertaining to Dev Suite....this also failed with the same message!!
I extended my deletion to temp folders, windows\prefetch and the registry......still fails!!
Frustratingly the java installer doesn't have the force reinstall switch that the windows installer has....gggrrrr...
So I had the mad idea of watching a manual install......this generated the non-empty folder error......so I deleted the folders and hey bisto!! Then I started getting these errors "The value of the environment variable path is more than 1023 characters. This value cannot be set."
I even tried creating a response file against a damaged install.....failed with both of the above errors.
Now I am stuck....if only Oracle used a decent windows installer!!
I did think to check the installation on a virgin build workstation - success....
I really hope someone can help me with this as it's driving me mad!!
Please help
Thanks in advance

Many thanks Sainath.....
This has certainly helped......the limitation appears to be in the java installer......it seems to check whether there is enough space in the Env Var PATH and errors if there is insufficient space.
Of course the installer was written in pre SP2 days when the Env Vars were limited to 1023 characters......todat SP2 allows 2047 characters.
My installation script now temporarily modifies the PATH variable, allows the installation and then returns the PATH variable to its original state and then adds the DevSuite paths.
I can now smile again.
Thanks
Greg

  • Problems installing Oracle Developer Suite 10g in windows 7

    Hi Experts;
    I have installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g in windows XP, but now I change to windows 7, 64 bits, I was trying to install this product and I'm having a lot of problems, apparently this product is not compatible with windows 7.
    My question is, is there any product, like Oracle Developer Suite 10g for windows 7? I was looking for in the Oracle page, and  I couldn't see anything, may be the name is diferent.
    Thanks for your help.
    Al

    First off, Oracle Developer Suite (ODS) 10g is no longer supported so Oracle has discontinued improving the product.  While ODS is not certified by Oracle for use on Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit), you can install and use on Windows 7 (32/64 bit).  This is a commonly asked question so a search of the forum would have given you several solutions.
    The limitations of the Oracle installer are:
    1.  You must have Administrator rights to install.
    2.  Windows 7 is not a supported version (it's version 6 and it is looking for version 5), so the installer exits.
    3.  It's unable to recognize Windows Managed virtual memory.
    To get around these limitations you must do the following:
    1.  Modify your Virtual Memory settings and define a specific Min and Max amount.   Look at this MS article if you need help making this change: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/change-the-size-of-virtual-memory
    2.  You must run the Oracle installer in compatibility mode for Windows XP.  To do this,
      - Right-click on the setup.exe and select the Compatibility tab and click "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP SP2"
    3.  While still in the properties and the compatibility tab, select the option, "Run as Administrator" and click OK.
    Now run the Oracle setup.exe and your installation should succeed.

    Are you logged in as an administrator?
    I wouldn't install in Program Files anyway. I'm not sure, but I have a gut feeling that Oracle doesn't like spaces in file and directory names. Install in C:\Oracle directory.

    Developer Suite 10 is not certified or supported to be installed on Win7 (64bit). Although it can be done, you will have problems later if you manage to get it installed. If you really want to have it on your Win7 laptop, I encourage you to install "Windows XP Mode", which is part of Windows Virtual PC. This is free to licensed Win7 users (does not apply to Home edition). Refer to the following:

  • Unable to install Oracle Developer Suite 10g on Windows 7

    Hello,
    I'm getting the following error message when using OUI on the Specify File Locations screen after providing source and destination:
    Invalid staging area. There are no top level components for Windows NT, Windows 2000 available for installation in this staging area.
    Anyone else have this happen while trying to install? I see that a few people have been successful in getting it installed. The destination was provided by default as C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory.
    Any help would be appreciated - thanks in advance.

    The Oracle Developer Suite (ODS) 10g is now certified by Oracle for installation on Windows 7 (32-bit). For installation steps, I recommend you take a look at My Oracle Support article: *How to Install Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2) on Windows 7 (32-bit) [ID 1292919.1]*. There is no need to run the XP-Mode (Virtual PC) of Windows 7 in order to install and use ODS on Windows 7.
    Invalid staging area. There are no top level components for Windows NT, Windows 2000 available for installation in this staging area.This error could be caused by many things. I've seen two. The first (as I recall) was caused by an issue with one of the files in the Inventory directory. We were able to get around the issue by deleting a file (I'm sorry, but I don't recall which file or if we simply deleted the directory). I recommend you check with Oracle Support before you delete any files or the directory, however.
    The other issue I've seen cause this is "spaces" in the directory path to the installer. This was the most common cause that I've seen. Make sure there are no spaces in the directory path where the installer is located.
    Hope this helps,
    Craig B-)
    If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.
