Setup.exe won't run on Windows XP?

I am trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows XP (Pro).
When I run setup.exe, nothing happens. The task manager process
list shows that setup starts and it starts jrew.exe, then both
disappear from task manager process list and nothing happens.
How do you install on Windows XP?

I am haveing the same problem, but with Win 2000 Server
I tried running the third tier setup i.e. \\install\win32\setup.exe
Doesn't work either. I disabled most of the services on my server, even terminal services (which requires the install from ad-remove progs)sitll no show.
It is an older Proliant server w. Quad P1's @200mhz but I think it meets the minimum requirements. And if it doesn't shouldn't I get an error?
I am trying to install this for home eval in my DBA cert class.
Anyone?

Oracle 9.2 setup.exe won't run on P3 with Win2K SP3

Hi, everyone:
We had difficulty in installing Oracle 9.2 onto our Dell P3 Latitude C800 laptop running Win2K Professional with SP3. As many of you already reported, after double clicking "setup.exe", it won't run and nothing happened. We tried to run "autorun.exe" but that didn't work either. We also changed the system Temp/Tmp environment variables but no help either. Since our laptop is P3, not P4, not sure whether changing the symcjit.dll name would help.
This seems to be a Java issue but not sure exactly what caused the problem. We had TrendMicro's OfficeScan AV s/w installed. Is that the problem? What other commonly used s/w are Java based and may cause conflict with Oracle installer? We only have MS Office, VisualBasic, UltraEdit, Acrobat, WinZip, and GetRight installed on the laptop.
Are there any other suggestions for us to try? Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Jason

disable getright and try again

Setup.exe Won't Run on XP Pro

Downloaded the 3 files, checked the file sizes, unzipped them into Disk1, Disk2 and Disk3, went to Disk1 and double-clicked on setup.exe. Nothing happened. I've downloaded the files twice.
I've got a new P4-2.4 Ghz computer with 1 GByte RAM and 120 GByte disk, most of it empty. Running Windows XP Pro. I'm logged in as an administrative user.
I have no idea what is wrong.

Hi:
I've downloaded 3 disks to win2000 machine, but looks like the downloaded file size is smaller than that indicated on OTN download page. So when I tried to unzip them, i got the error messgae saying that "it's not the right archive".
did anyone of you ever experienced such downloading problem?
many thnaks for your kind response.

Downloaded Discoverer4.1: can't install (setup.exe won't run)

Hi,
Just downloaded Discoverer 4.1 (admin4133f.zip) and unzip files in directory c:\temp (along with Oracle Forms and Report and Oracle 8i zip files) but whenever i run setup.exe nothing happens.
I've already got Oracle Personal Edition 8i and Developer 6i installed in my pc.
thanks

I've already got Oracle Personal Edition 8i and Developer 6i installed in my pc.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I've eccounted the similar installation problem - Oracle Discoverer installation at the OracleHome that already has Oracle Reports lead to setup.exe fail. This is noted since Discoverer 3.1.+ and Reports 3+
Try to install Discoverer into another OracleHome.
If installing in the same Home - Discoverer must be the first, Reports - the second...
(By the way - watch for the 9iAS EE installation - you'll see Discoverer goes first :) )

Problem extracting Acrobat XI setup.exe file - using WinRAR extractor - "Windows cannot find file...

I have downloaded Adobe Acrobat XI from my university download site (so I know it's a legit, safe copy). When I run the .exe file, even as an administrator, it begins to extract using WinRAR self-extracting archive and stops with a pop-up error:
"Windows cannot find "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\RarSFX0\Adobe Acrobat XI\setup.exe"
I scanned using Malwarebytes, AVG, Spybot, and ran a \scannow command. Nothing finds a corrupt file. Any ideas what could be causing the extractor to not work?
I am running Windows 7 on a 64-bit Dell laptop.

SOLUITION - I had to actually download a version of WinRAR extractor. Right click the downloaded AcrobatXI-Windows.exe file and choose "Open with WinRAR" (this option was not available until I downloaded the WinRAR application - apparently the extractor runs automatically but doesn't have full funtionality). Then I nagivated to the Adobe Acrobat folder in the WinRAR window and selected the setup.exe file to run. It opened and installed beautifully.

-I' am also wondering if there is a sertification with windows XP or not
to not to waste my time
Could anyone help me with this
Waiting for a reply
thanks !

Hi,
Please right click the setup.exe and choose run as administrator.
Sometime, it may be caused by missing or corrupted system files, run SFC.
Start>click cmd in the search box>type SFC/scannow.
And sometimes other software, especially security type programs, can interfere with your installations.
Test in Safe mode to see if the issue persists.
Restart the computer, press F8 before the windows logo appears.
If still cannot install, test with install .exe file in another computer. If the same issue, the issue may be the setup file itself. If can install in another computer, it may be the issue of the windows installer.
Follow the steps in the kb to troubleshoot the issue.

Forms 6i setup.exe will not run

I am trying to uninstall Forms 6i from a PC (Windows XP) and the manual recommends doing it via the installer.
However the installer (setup.exe) will not run. No error message, control just returns after double click.
I am pretty sure this was how we originally installed Forms 6i but for some reason it does not run now.
Tried a couple of things like turning DEP off, to no effect.
Anybody has an idea where the problem is?
Or should I just uninstall the hard way by deleting the folders and cleaning up the registry manually

Hai,
In The Properties of the setup file, there is a Tab Named Compatibility. In that tick the Run this program in compatibility mode for:
and select the latest Operating system listed in the Combo box. (Eg: Windows 2000).
and Press OK.
then it will work.
Regards,
Manu.

Not using Boot Camp, but you should be able to using virtualization software such as Parallels to run Windows concurrently with OS X.

Hi, I have adobe acrobat 6.0 but it won't run on windows 7, is there an update availabe?

Hi, I have adobe acrobat 6.0 but it won't run on windows 7, is there an update availabe?

I agree with Doc, but there may be a work around. Actually, your best solution is to just buy AA XI. The work around depends on what you mean by does not work. Do Acrobat and Distiller both install and appear to function? Is the problem one of not being able to print? If both of these answers are yes, then you can install an independent PS printer (maybe one from Adobe or one of the HP color PS printers), change the name to Adobe PDF for your use (not required), and change the port to FILE. Then to create a PDF you would print to that printer and open the file created in Distiller to create a PDF file. May or may not work. However, AA6 is so old, it is likely to cause other problems, even if this process works. If nothing else, it will not open some of the newer PDFs that are being created today (at least I would guess that will be the case). So buying XI is really in order.
Other issues that may crop up will be activation (will likely fail) and updates that have to be obtained from the FTP site and not the web.

HP Utility won't run in Windows 7

The HP Utility application for an HP Designjet Z3200 won't run in Windows 7. I browse to the application and nothing happens when I try to open it. I've rebotted several times as well as uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of the app downloaded from HP.
Anyone have any clues as to why this is happening?

Random exe-files won't run on windows. Driver related?

Hope someone smarter than me can find an answer to this...
I've tried running a bunch of games via bootcamp and random exe-files won't run. A couple of times the setup.exe wouldn't start and other times the installations go fine but the game itself refuses. I get a short flash of a dos prompter that disappears within the fraction of a second and then nothing happens at all.
I get the same thing weather I run XP SP3 or Win 7 x86 and I've probably tried ten games all together.
I'm thinking it must somehow be driver (or else way BootCamp) related since all games have been successfully run on native PCs.
Any ideas?

That sounds almost like trouble with your Windows Installer.
What versions of Windows installer are you running for each of your OSes?
A quick way to check: bring up a Run line, type msiexec and hit the Enter key. The Windows Installer version should be at the top of the information screen that comes up.

Photoshop 7 setup.exe won't start

Hello everyone !
Thank you for reading my question and taking some time to help me. Much appreciated
I have some troubles with my photoshop 7. When I click on the exec setup file, it starts and then stops. Nothing happens, no window, no error message, just the exec doesn't launch.
The setup exe seems to be running in the task manager but appart from this, zero.
I've tried the administrator mode, the XP compatibility mode, the installation files copied on the C drive, ... nothing works.
I'm running a Windows 7 64 bits system, 8GB ram, and an SSD drive on C:.
Could someone help me with this issue ?
I've looked into the previous discutions on this website about similar issue but it was on different versions of Photoshop.
If my question has been already asked, please forgive me as a first-time user of the adobe community !
Best regard
