Unable to install oracle 8 i on windows vista

Hi all,
I cannot installed my oracle 8i on my new laptop purchase with windows vista . I do everything but at last the programms are all download on my machine. Perhaps a problem of compatibility perhaps . I am in trouble . Because i need it to updates my datasbefore migrating in the server. What can i do to solve this problem of compatibility with installation. Please help me to fix this problem.
Thanks, Welcome, user575726

There is a specific version of Oracle 10g for Windows Vista. I even hear that Oracle 10g XE will work too; however, I have only tried oracle 10g for vista.
Both Oracle 8i and 9i are unsupported on vista.
Install Windows XP Pro on your laptop instead of Windows Vista.
Or, if you need to install 8i or 9i on Vista, may I suggest installing a virtual machine running Windows 2000 or Windows XP on top of Vista. Then in this vm, install Oracle 8i or 9i.
There is microsoft virtual pc 2007, vmware worktation 6.0, and parallels. I'm not sure if qemu or bochs will work. Note, you must have vista business premium or ultimate to be able to run a virtual machine in it according to the vista end user license.

Install Oracle 9i on Windows Vista Home Premium

I have a problem Installing Oracle 9i on Windows Vista Home Premium, I cant install it because it throws me an error message saying that is incompatible with my version of Windows. It is possible to install it with some patch or something??

The only patch I know of is called Windows XP.
In case you have not done any internet searches on this, even Oracle Database 10g was not compatible with Vista until Oracle applied some heavy patches and re-released it.
And since Oracle9i is officially deprecated (nearest thing to obsolete as to make no difference) I see no reason for Oracle to backport the patches.

How to Install Oracle 11g on Windows Vista

Hi Everyone, this is Abhinay here i am a Graduate Student from Electronics and i am planning to shift to CS background the main thing i want to know from you guys is " A structured procedure of Installing Oracle 10g on Windows Vista"- So can any one of you guys help me out??????????

Hi, how are you doing ?
Just one advice about it. If you want to work with Oracle databases, it will be better to install it on certified OS's. Doing so, you will get better experience and more realistic experience on it.
Following the Oracle database documentation, you will get all that you need to successfully install the database in the certified OS.

How to Install oracle 8i on Windows Vista Ultimate

Hii,
I want to install oracle 8i in my laptop. I am using Vista Ultimate OS.
I am getting a java runtime error.
why is it happening ?

Install Personal Edition or Express Edition.
You can still install EE or SE, however, you need toLOL.
Given that Personal Edition IS A SUPERSET OF Enterprise Edition, what is that going to buy the OP?
Reference: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/license.102/b14199/editions.htm#CJADFHGH from which we read "
Oracle Database Personal Edition Oracle Database Personal Edition supports single-user development and deployment environments that require full compatibility with Oracle Database Standard Edition One, Oracle Database Standard Edition, and Oracle Database Enterprise Edition.
Personal Edition includes all of the components that are included with Enterprise Edition, as well as all of the options that are available with Enterprise Edition, with the exception of the Oracle Real Application Clusters option, which cannot be used with Personal Edition. Personal Edition is available on Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit versions). The Management Packs are not included in Personal Edition."
<sheesh>
This myth has been around for years. And this one doesn't even need an install to verify or debunk - just simple reading. You'd think it would be gone by now.

I found this solution in http://msutic.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-instal-oracle-client-11g-on.html
It work for me. I´ve installed a Oracle 10.2.0.4 (vista e w2k8 x64) in a Windows 7 64 bits.
Thanks to Marko Sutic !
========================================================
To workaround this problem I've decided to edit refhost.xml file adding entry for Windows 7.
* in production there are 2 files refhost.xml. I´ve edited both.
Location of this file on my system:
.\stage\prereq\db\refhost.xml
.\stage\prereq\db_prereqs\db\refhost.xml
This is excerpt from newly edited refhost.xml file:
<CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>

<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<VERSION VALUE="6.1"/>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
</CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>
New lines are added at the end of this excerpt after . Notice version value=6.1.
In addiction to Marko Sutic tip, I´ve edited too the file ./install/oraparam.ini adding the new value (6.1) to the message:
[Certified Versions]
#You can customise error message shown for failure, provide value for CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAILURE_MESSAGE
Windows=5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0,6.1
I´ve finished now the installation, and all sounds good.
good luck

Error Installing Oracle 10g on Windows Vista

I have just bought new Laptop with Intel Core Solo Processor U1500 (1.33 Ghz) and 1Gb Ram, and Windows Vista Business Edition.
When I ran Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition Setup on my laptop, setup asked for Administrative Password and then Unknown Error Occured, any idea what could be the problem ?
Regards,
Luqman

You didn't mention if you have Vista Home Premium or Vista Home Basic. Whether Vista is 32-bit or 64-bit version. Nor did you mention which version of oracle software you downloaded and used to install.
I have installed Oracle 10g Enterprise on Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. It does work. However, I downloaded and used the version of Vista 32-bit.
So, did you use the version of Windows Vista 32-bit or not?
What is the error message?
People can not help you unless you tell use the error message.

Unable to install JRE 6u24 at Windows Vista 64 bit

Hej
When I start I see a dilalog window popup and then it is removed imeediately. I am not able to see the text. Then nothing happens. When I go through all running processes I see that 3 instances of msiexec.exe have started. One of them takes 13% of the CPU and will run for ever.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Anders

Do the following:
1. Ensure that you are a member of the Windows Administrators group. If not, you will not be able to perform the installation.
2. Ensure that any previous attempts to install have been terminated (refer to the Task Manager)
3. Decrease or disable UAC. Refer to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off
4. Once you have completed the above (reboot may be necessary), right mouse click on the JRE installable you downloaded (i.e. jre-6u24-windows-i586.exe). Select "Run as Administrator"
Be sure to do this from the local machine and not a remote machine. For example do not do this using VNC, Remote Desktop Sharing, ect.
Also, if you have older JRE versions installed, I would recommend uninstalling them and rebooting first.

I'm unable to install Firefox onto my Windows Vista computer because when I download the .exe file, it doesn't show up anywhere on my computer.

I click on the download button on the Firefox website and it processes as if it is downloading. Once it is finished processing, I'm unable to find the file to install it with the install wizard. I tried it by both running and saving the file. In both cases, the file just vanishes.
