To install ODBC on Windows--Need Universal Installer 10.1.0.4 & Net Client

The instructions for installing Oracle ODBC for Windows requires Universal Installer 10.1.0.4 & Net Client. I cannot find where to obtain these from the download page. A colleague looked up Universal Installer 10.1.0.4 on the support area, but the best he could find was reference to a patch. I do not have nor want to install all of Oracle on my laptop just to have Oracle ODBC.
Where can I obtain these applications/tools and is there anything else that I need?

You have to have the Oracle client installed on your machine to be able to install the Oracle ODBC driver. This can either be a full Oracle client install or you can install the 10g Instant Client, which is a slimmed down version of the client. Both the regular client and the instant client are downloadable from OTN. The full client has a cleaner install process, the instant client is aimed more at corporate users that want to deploy the install as part of installing internal software, so it involves a bit more configuration by setting appropriate environment variables, etc.

  • Installing Oracle HTTP Server WITHOUT Universal Installer?

    On my computer (Win XP, DB 10.1.0.4) the Universal Installer that comes with the Companion CD still fails at startup. So I installed HTML DB from the htmldb_2.0.zip file.
    But what about the HTTP Server? How can install it without using the OUI?
    The response file from the Companion CD offers only these two choices:
    - Oracle HTML DB and Oracle HTTP Server
    - Oracle HTML DB only
    I have to admit that I don't really fancy the idea of installing HTML DB again via response file...
    Any ideas?

    Sabine,
    Do you use an intel pentium 4?Yes. Do you think that bug is still around?No, I was confusing it because just recently I installed 8.1.7 on my XP machine and ran into that bug. It shouldn't affect a 10.x install.
    What is the error message you get? Or does it just
    crash?The windows error message "The oui.exe found a
    problem and need to be closed." ("oui.exe hat ein
    Problem festgestellt und muss beendet werden") Tough. Not much information.
    Do you have anything special set up on your machine, firewall, cluster, etc.? How much RAM?
    Sometimes the setup.exe didn't work for me. There is another oui.exe in the "install" subdirectory. Please try this one.
    If you don't get any further I would suggest to open an iTar with Oracle Support.
    If you had more specific error messages perhaps we can find something.
    Please look in c:\programme\oracle\inventory\logs whether you can find more information.

  • Windows 2k3 Universal Installer Problem

    Hey all,
    Let me apologize if this problem has already been answered, but I wasn't able to find any other posts for the particular issue Im having.
    Im trying to install 10g rel. 2 on my win 2k3 sp1 platform. When I run setup.exe I get Oracle's splash screen and then attempt to install oracle by just doing the basic installation. I also uncheck the check box to create a starter db. Finally I click "Next" and the Universal Installer just disappears and nothing ever happens. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your help. I finally got it to work correctly now. I believe it was just a bad download I had of 10g. I went back and re-downloaded the db and performed the above mentioned steps from my first posting and it installed itself correctly.
    As far as log files are concerned, there were never any for me to look at. During my successful install of Oracle, with the newly downloaded cd, the log files were put in C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs. I never even saw this directory created when I did the install.
    Thanks again!

  • Install without universal installer

    Hi all!
    We using product which installs oracle as backend.
    I need access object views in that database.
    But MS driver does not support it.
    I've tryed to install Oracle drive, but it request universal intaller. :-(
    Is that possible install drivers alone?
    If so, where I can find such installation?
    WBR

    You cannot install the Oracle ODBC driver without the Universal Installer. You cannot use the Oracle ODBC driver without first installing the Oracle client, which will always install a version of the Oracle Universal Installer.
    If you want to run the OUI unattended, you'll need to create a response file for it. Oracle's documentation is online at http://tahiti.oracle.com-- a search on 'response file' should give you the pointers you need to accomplish this.

  • Installing ODBC and JDBC drivers

    I have recently downloaded JDBC drivers from the Oracle driver download page.
    How do I install them?

    JDBC drivers aren't generally "installed" in the standard sense. They're just JAR files-- you put them in your CLASSPATH and you're done.
    For ODBC drivers, you need to install the Oracle client, then you can use the Oracle Universal Installer that's part of the client install to install the latest ODBC driver patchset.

  • General Question - Why is Oracle such a pain to install on a Windows 2000 server

    IS this by Design? I have to use Oracle for one of my clients and I cant get 8.1.6 , 8.1.7 or 9 to install correctly for anything. Im confused about things like why the database wont start, or it says its started under services but of course its not. I sometimes (like once) can get the management console to come up but I usually have my fingers crossed and grabbing my lucky rabbits foot. Whats up? Am I "oracle challenged" here or do others experience the same issues?
    Any help is welcome.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi!
    This (http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=159333.1) guide on metalink also does the trick.
    Regards Mikael
    I feel your pain. I've probably installed the RDBMS on 25 separate Windows servers in the last 5 years (versions 7.3 through 9.2) as well as iFS, iAS, etc. For a novice, and even a pro, it can be a hair pulling experience. I've virtually given up trying to do upgrades and fortunately I've been able to schedule downtime for those servers requiring upgrades. Even for "clean" machines it isn't always 100% reliable. My experiences installing Oracle on Linux have been harrowing, and it is only for someone that is truely committed. My best advice, is get yourself a true test machine that you can completely redo, and test installing it. For Windows, if an install fails (or if you want to "get rid of an older version of Oracle all together" before you upgrade), then do the following (do not do this on production machine, or with anything that you want to keep, and it is not sanctioned by Oracle, and no warranties what so ever).
    1) De-install all Oracle products using Universal installer.
    2) Remove all Oracle entries from the path statement
    3) Delete all of the files in the Oracle directory. There will be problems with some files in Bin.
    4) Using Regedit delete the software registry keys for Oracle (hkey_local_machine\software\oracle).
    5) Delete any left over entries in the registry for Oracle services (hkey_local_machine\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\Ora*)
    6) Delete all of the oracle files in program files\oracle
    7) Reboot
    8) Delete the files in the oracle directory that couldn't be deleted in step #3 above and #6 (if any)
    Oracle should now be gone, and you should be able to test another installation.

  • How to uninstall oracle components silents using oracle universal installer in oracle client 11.2.0.3.0?

    Hi,
    I have installed oracle client 11.2.0.3.0 silently using the response file with INSTALL type as runtime. I want to remove  'Oracle sql developer' from the installed products. Using Oracle Universal Installer I am able to remove this component in GUI. Please provide me the silent switch to remove this component. I have tried with DEINSTALL_LIST property , but I am getting an error that 'no products selected for deinstall'. Please suggest on this.

    Pl post your OS details
    AFAIK, SQL Developer is not included in the Oracle Client install - it is a separate install. You will have to follow the instructions for uninstalling SQL Developer - check the docs for your specific version of SQLD - Oracle SQL Developer
    e.g. for 3.1, see Installing Oracle SQL Developer

  • Oracle 9i Installation Using Universal Installer.

    I have installed Oracle 9i using the Universal Installer under W2K and set my passwords for SYS and SYSTEM, i kept them the same.
    But when I go to run the SQL Worksheet it asks for a name and password I type in SYS for the name and the allocated password. I do the same for the SYSTEM name. Under both logins it is unsuccessful. Wheras if I use the name and password given by the documentation it connect. The only problem here is that this given name does not have rights to modify or look at the tables in the databases.
    Can anyone help?

    If I understand the problem, it's a login issue. Oracle 9i, when connecting as the user sys or system, requires the role SYSDBA or SYSOPER. The problem when using the GUI tools is there's no place to enter "AS SYSDBA". You may want to try putting it in the connection (alias) field as "alias AS SYSDBA". Using the command line, it looks like: SQLPLUS "sys/pwd@alias as sysdba".

  • ODBC: Oracle Universal Installer Crash on Windows 7 (Workaround found)

    Clicking 'next' on first screen in the 10g installer makes the installer crash, showing a message 'Abnormal program termination. An internal error has occurred. Please provide the following files to Oracle Support: "Unknown" "Unknown" "Unknown". Goal for the moment is just to install ODBC. The read me in the ODBC driver 10.2.0.2.0 .exe says: This section assumes the following: Oracle Universal Installer shipping with 10.2.0.0.0 has already been installed on your system. Presuming that 10.2.0.0.0 is referring to another ODBC installer, this exe is not available, so how to install this? Since the installer from 10g is crashing, tried older ones, without success. What is going on? Is it a windows setting somewhere? How to just simply install the Oracle ODBC? Really no problems installing any other software. Avoiding of space in pathnames does not make any difference. Selecting optionbutton 'basic installation' and 'advanced installation' in installer gui both crash when continuing with 'next' ('advanced' does not have any values in that stage).

    How to just simply install the Oracle ODBC?Probably what you're after is an oracle client install, no need to install a database if you just want ODBC. There is a small Express client on the XE download page, although I'm not sure if it includes ODBC drivers. The full 11g client software is at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/112010_win32soft.html
    There is a support note 781054.1, if you're on 64-bit hardware with some how-tos on getting to the 32 bit ODBC drivers.

  • HT1338 I have been trying to install window 7 operating system through booth camp assistant, i will finish all the stages for windows to complete installation it will hook at that stage please i need help.

    I have been trying to install window 7 operating system through booth camp assistant, i will finish all the stages for window to complete installation it will hook. the installation cannot be able to complete and i really install windows on it, please i need an assistance on how to go about it.

    Right now I have 6 different systems installed. Windows XP, 7, and 8 plus Linux Mint, Commodore, and OS X Snow Leopard (for old times sake), all running on Mountain Lion.
    I recommend reading the user manual as it greatly helps getting through the steps, however an intuitive person should pick it up fairly easily.
    Thanks to BobTheFisherman for the link.
    There are other ways to get Windows on a Mac but I'm a big fan of open-source software.
    Give it a try. You might like it or it may not be your cup of tea.

  • Need standalone installs of Universal Installer

    Downloads such as the ODBC drivers are packaged for the Oracle Universal Installer. This becomes a problem when it comes to emailing the ODBC driver installer, for example, to a customer. I have to go to the customer site with my Oracle install CD to install the installer and then install the ODBC driver.
    It would be more practical for non-oracle Windows installs, such as ODBC drivers, to have either a standalone EXE install or to at least have a standalone install for the Universal Installer.

    For those distributing software, have you looked into the 10g Instant Client? That allows you to install a very stripped-down version of the Oracle client and the Oracle ODBC drivers by copying a few DLL's and setting up a couple config settings. Bypasses the OUI completely.
    For non Instant Client installs, you need to install the appropriate version of the Oracle client, which installs the appropriate version of the OUI as a side effect. The full ODBC driver isn't a stand-alone product, it requires various libraries that are installed with the Oracle client.

  • Oracle Universal Installer tries to install an older Java Runtime

    I downloaded the Rdb ODBC Driver for Windows with Oracle Universal Installer. The Installer would install JRE 1.3 but I already have 1.5.
    How can I avoid this?
    Thank you.

    I installed the ODBC Driver with the Oracle Universal Installer.
    Now I have the directory C:\Programme\Oracle\jre\1.3.1. This means that the installer has not detect my Java 5 installation and uses its own JRE 1.3.
    I remains one question:
    Who has done this?

  • Install ODBC Driver on Windows XP

    Hi all

    Hi!
    You can download the latest version from:

    Exists version including "Oracle Universal Installer".
    You shouldn't have any problem if you are using 9.2 Oracle.

  • Re-install software after uninstall with home using universal installer

    after uninstalling 10g software with home using universal installer how to re-install without deleting all components of database like the database exists i just want to put the oracle software on it and reusing x home location.

    Tofayel Ahmad wrote:
    when it about linux then what would be the job.re-installing software in linux or windows like establishing a new database Regardless of the OS, installing the software is distinct from "establishing" a database. You can install the software without creating a database, but you cannot create a database without having installed the software.
    so it's need time but for some missing services or few software components that would be a more costing. if there is a possible action that could restore the missing services in home. Huh?
    The concept of "services" in Windows doesn't exist in Linux.
    i thought it's would be great to startup the database in less time then installing. if i would install the software and using backup data file recover then is it a consistent recovery or inconsistent recovery.All recoveries that complete are consistent. Not all backups are consistent, but when you do a recovery, the redo stream is applied from the archivelog files to make the recovery "consistent".
    so when ever need to recover what should require for consistent recovery so that i can say without this all other type of recovery jobs are inconsistent.there is no such thing as "inconsistent" recovery. You are either able to recover from your backups, or you are not able to recover. If you are able to recover, you are "consistent". Now, mind you, that does NOT necessarily mean your recovery will recover all data up to the point of failure. your ability to do that depends on having all the necessary backups, including archivelogs and ultimately, intact online redo logs. Without that, the best you can do is a point-in-time recovery. But it will still be "consistent" with the point in time to which you recover.
    i am asking because as far i know i understand that no client would agree to go for inconsistent recovery. as i mentioned i am a new comer i have lot of confusion please if possible give some details. Well, I wouldn't agree to go for an inconsistent recovery, as no such thing exists. If you are talking about point-in-time recovery with potential data loss - it depends entirely on the client, the application, and the tolerance for data loss. Banking transactions cannot afford any loss of transaction data and so must have very robust systems with comprehensive, multi-level backups. Some other systems can be surprisingly forgiving.
