Trouble installing Designer Repository under XE

Question

I have installed Oracle 10g XE on another PC (as a test system), and I have the XE Client on my own laptop. I also have SQL Designer installed, and both can talk to the copy of XE just fine. However, when I try to install the Designer Suite, I've run into a couple of major problems, primarily with the repository.
I seem to be able to create the repository ok, but when I try to install it, I get the error messages (shown below) when I get to the step called "cksysfol.sql". I let the Repository installation process continue, and no other errors were raised.
I tried to research this on Oracle's discussion forums, and found very little that addresses anything like this. Several posts suggest that creating a Designer Repository is not possible under XE. Other posts seem to indicate that other people have been successful in installing a Designer repository. I also found references that said I needed to enable "Fine-Grained Access Control" as part of the original database installation process, but I didn't see any place where that was even an option.
I need to install Designer because I need access to the Entity Relationship Diagram feature for a project I'm working on.
What do I need to do to get the Repository installed correctly?

Answer 1

This is a bit late, but in case you were still interested, I have successfully installed Designer repositories on XE. Just make sure the repository owner has the correct db privileges as well as quota on the repository tablespaces.
Thanks,
