Trying to install Oracle 8i on Windows XP

I had been trying to install oracle 8i on Windows XP with no success so far; Every time a start the setup the program just shutdown without any message. I changed the security of the Explorer to low but the result is the same.
Does anybody know why?
Thanks in advance....

This is an issue Intel Pentium 4 Processors, Sun JRE and Symantec JIT will encounter this problem.
Work around and info in the following links;

  • I am trying to install Oracle 9i on Windows Server 2008

    Hi
    I am trying to install Oracle 9i on Windows Server 2008.
    While installing third CD it shows the following error message
    "jrew.exe has stopped working"
    Please guide me what to do next as early as possible.
    Thanks

    Why?
    The general policy of Oracle is very simple:
    it certifies against the current version of the OS.
    It never re-certifies against new releases of the OS.
    Windows 2008 didn't exist when Oracle 9i was released.

    Do you have any specific issues with your installation? I don't see why you shouldn't be able to install Oracle 11g on Windows 7. Found a quick blog post for you:

  • Cant install oracle 8i in windows 2003 server

    hi,
    I am a newbie in Oracle.While Im trying to install Oracle 8i in Windows 2003 server , setup is not running.It didn't show anything.When trying to run from auto run, after splash screen nothing came.I formatted hard disk,changed two more hard disks,.changed machine...but cant install it in no way... It is the same case in Windows XP home edition.
    But it is running in one of my friend's machine(windows 2003 server)
    Please help me with valuable solutions.
    Thanks in advance

    Did your friend install on W2003 or upgrade from an older version of the OS?
    When trying to run programs on an OS that is not certified for the programs, it is hit-n-miss whether the OS actually has the support files needed for the programs.
    Think about this: the Oracle environment needs OS support in the form of DLLs and other files. The contents of the DLLs are made visible as APIs. Each time Microsoft releases patches, it is possible that the APIs that Oracle used are changed. This is extremely true when a new version of the OS is released, and even more true with stripped versions such as XP Home.
    If your friend installed and then applied patches, [s]he may have hit the proper API combination. If you appled patches first, you may have skootched your APIs to the point that Oracle can not longer install.
    Even if you happen to get it installed, you run the risk of getting clobbered any time you install a new Microsoft patch. The risk is minimized when you use a certified combination of the OS and application.

    It might be possible that I'm using wrong installation source for the same. It would be nice if anyone can lemme know which link from http://download.oracle.com to access for Oracle 10g R2 source on Windows 7?
    Can anyone pls help me out to solve this query??
    Thanks in anticipation.

    At which point did it occur to you that Windows 7 was developed and released after any version of Oracle 10g and was both uncertified and untested on this platform? ;)
    10g will fall off the cliff into desupport in just two weeks. Toss it out and install 11.2.0.1.

  • ORA-12154 while installing Oracle 10g on windows 7

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Oracle 10g express edition on my machine (core 2 duo 2.93) running on Windows 7.
    The installation moves on perfectly for the 1st step and while running the 2nd step (Net configuration Assistant), it gives the ORA-12154 error.
    The contents of my configuration files at this point are as follows:
    Listener.ora
    =============
    SID_LIST_ORCL =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = ORCL)
    (ORACLE_HOME = F:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
    (PROGRAM = extproc)
    ORCL =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    =============
    And that of tnsnames.ora is:
    =============
    ORCL =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
    =============
    After some googling around, I have found and installed the Microsoft Loopback adapter too (since my LAN is DHCP enabled) and also tried to turn on the firewall on my machine to check if it is not a problem with the port 1521 being blocked by the firewall.
    However, even after all that I still get the error "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified." while running the Net configuration Assistant and/or running SQL Plus to connect to the SID - ORCL.
    I can only see one service running in my services by the name : OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListenerORCL
    Any suggestions or advice on the error would be much welcome.
    Is it anything related to Windows 7 ? Because I have managed to install using the same installer on another machine which runs Windows XP and everything seems fine there.
    Thanking you all in anticipation.

    Hmmm.. but then I'd have expected some installation error. I have read around that people have managed to install oracle on windows 7.
    The error displayed seems to be indicating that there is some configuration or permissions issue.Check that the user has permission to write in the ORACLE_HOME\network\admin - UAC might be blocking that.
    Install with software only, and run netca & dbca separately to create the database after the s/w install. (That's the way it is done in production anyway, so get used to it.)
    But yes - you still may have problems. Those who did fake it out on Windows 7 usually understand what to do. If you are smart enough to actually do it, my hat is off to you.

  • Ora-00604 while installing Oracle 10g on Windows XP SP2

    I was installing Oracle 10g on Windows XP but the dbca was failling. So I tried to create a database manually.
    But every time I launch this:
    "SQL> startup nomount pfile="C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\XP10G\scripts\initXP10G.ora";"
    I always had:
    ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
    ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION
    I tried to change some memory value in the init*.ora without more success.
    So if anyone has been had such issue; he would be an help for me.

    I'm not sure there is a supported version for your O/S but if there is you will find it by going to the downloads page at http://otn.oracle.com.
    If there isn't I'd recommend going with a currently supported version of the product rather than one whose full support has ended.

  • Install Oracle XE on Windows XP Embedded

    Can I install Oracle XE on Windows XP Embedded?

    I'm not sure that anyone has tried that before.
    Are you going to have enough memory? I think the answer might be along the lines of installing on XP Home... it could be done, but it will take a lot of time and a fair amount of voodoo. It also won't be supported.
