Reader XI installation exits without any error on XP

Hello,
I'm trying to upgrade Adobe Reader XI on Windows XP SP3 but the installer just exits without any messages after unpacking installation files. I tried both net and full installer (AdbeRdr11000_xxx.exe). Uninstalling Reader X didn't help, but I am able to reinstall it.
Any ideas what might be going on?

Try AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi fromftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.00/en_US/
Make sure you are using .msi
After installation, select Help\Check for updates, and let Updater to install latest updates.

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.

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
Mike

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.

ODBC 8.1.7.4 - Oracle Universal Installer v. 1.7.1.3.0

Hi all,
Situation
I'm trying to install ODBC 8.1.7.4 - however when having selected the products.jar the OUI (1.7.0.something) says that this package needs OUI 1.7.1.3.0 to be installed.
Problem
The OSP (which is the only component I can find on OTN that has the OUI) on the OTN download - is version 1.7.0.something).
Does anyone know where to get the latest - required - OUI ??
Extra Q
Do I need more than the ODBC to connect from a W2K to a SUN based Oracle ?
(I saw something about Net8 - but have no clue if that's part of the ODBC package)
Best regards and (urgent :-) thanks
Vitus

The ODBC driver relies on a lot of different libraries that are part of the Oracle client. The Net8 protocol, the NLS libraries, etc. in addition to the Oracle Universal Installer. If you do a custom install of the Oracle client, you can get the minimal set of libraries required by the ODBC driver.
Client/ server systems like ODBC, however, aren't designed to be particularly lightweight. A protocol like JDBC, which is designed to be used with thin clients, is designed to be used without the Oracle client.

10g Universal Installer kernel errors while installing on Solaris 5.10

Hi all,
I have been trying to install Oracle 10g on a Solaris 5.10 machine (32-bit) as per the official Oracle Documentation for a couple of days now. It seems that the Universal Installer fails it's pre-installation steps and throws up error at the following kernel parameters:
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
I have followed the Oracle Documentation which says to change the kernel parameters using the resource control facility. For this I already have a project "oracle" which the user "oracle" has been assigned to:
$ id -ap oracle
uid=100(oracle) gid=100(oinstall) groups=100(oinstall),101(dba) projid=100(oracle)
Following are the snapshots from the prctl command on the current state of the kernel paramters:
For Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295; found no entry. Failed <<<<
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
privileged 254MB - deny -
system 16.0EB max deny -
The Oracle recommended value is 4GB - I expect Universal Installer check to fail for this, so I change the parameter using the resource control facility by logging in as root in a new terminal and keeping one oracle session active.
# prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -v 4gb -r -i project oracle
I can see that the parameter has been set correctly when I do:
$ prctl -n project.max-shm-memory -i project oracle
project: 100: oracle
NAME PRIVILEGE VALUE FLAG ACTION RECIPIENT
project.max-shm-memory
privileged 4.00GB - deny -

The Oracle recommended value is 100 - I do not expect Universal Installer check to fail at this parameter
Also when I try to issue the command:
$ prctl -n project.max-sem-nsems -i project oracle
I get:
prctl: failed to get resource control for project.max-sem-nsems: Invalid argument
Oracle recommends I should set a value of 256.
After setting up all this I still get the following errors from Universal Installer:
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmni=100; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Checking for semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256; found no entry. Failed <<<<
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Now when I modify the kernel settings by editing the /etc/system file without even a reboot I'm can see all my Universal Installer Kernel checks as passed.
Not sure if I'm missing out some crucial step while setting up the kernel parameter using the resource control facility?
~ Somjit

It is bug in OUI.
OUI is looking at /etc/system to check the kernel parameter settings, but this file is not used (by default) in Solaris 10
It should check the kernel parameter settings using the prctl.
Check metalink note 363436.1
workaround is to
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
or as You already did, change /etc/system as well.

I a similar problem several times trying to get my AbapTrial version to work but then everything was successful as below:
i. windows command regedit ->software and delete the whole SAP folder
ii. at least disable the services (I had old SAP.. entries) (you did windows command sc delete)
iii. I had an NSP version and so deleted the whole of C:SAP folder and c:sapdb folder
iv. I went to windows software management and removed the trial version or went to Start->Programs and deleted the Trial version there.
v. In Start->Programs->MaxDB (or, once, in software management) I deleted all MaxDB entries.
As far as I remember everything was then removed.
The successful installation then was as follows:
I successfully downloaded from http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/nw-downloads and successfully ran the installation:
1) the download wasnt possible the first few times I tried - the download popup did not appear and I received a message with the word "scnsorry" instead. I just had to keep trying.
2) I downloaded the entry
"SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1 SP3 ABAP Developer Edition ".
Another entry, also offered for download, "SAP NetWeaver 7.01 - ABAP Trial Version " did not install and seemed to be in error. (Installed "successfully" in just 4 minutes and showed no MaxDB files in the unzipped folder).
3) I followed the instructions and the installation (some 27 steps) ran for 7 hours.
4) I am on a laptop with Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6002 SP2. (It is in German, not English, but this was not a problem, although it is sometimes mentioned that one should use an english-language OS).
5) After installation I could log on at once.
I recommend this way because it saves so much time.
What put me on the right path was a comment by Markus Doehr on In AbapTrial7.01 NSP the Dispatcher stops after 1:15 minutes.

Oracle Universal Installer (10.1.0.4) Hangs

I am trying to remove 'Oracle Application Server - Reports and Forms Services' using Oracle Universal Installer (10.1.0.4)
OS: Windows XP professional
folder: c:\oracle\FRHome_1
The uninstaller hangs and progress remains 0%.
Kindly let me know how to remove the software.

Are you trying to remove the specific components? or are you trying to remove the whole installation? Well bear in mind that removing a component is not as easy as removing it from the OUI, this has also been registered against the Identity Management (IM), so you must de-register it first, prior to attempt to remove it. If you just deinstall it, the OID will still be aware it has the component and you won't be able to reinstall it.
Proceeding directly to remove regedit entries without considering the previously recommendations may leave your installation corrupted and you may have to reinstall your Infrastructure (IS) and your Middle Tier (MT)

How to get a newer version of the Universal Installer

I have a need fot and updated version of the Oracle 9 ODBC driver. The driver, however requires a newer version of the OUI (we have 2.2.0.16.0 and it wants 2.3.0.5.0a). I can't seem to find a seperate download just for the installer. Does anyone know of anyway to just get an update to the installer?

Hello,
Here you can download the newer versions of ODBC drivers with or without Oracle Universal Installer:

Discoverer Admin exit without message!

In the step 2 of Discoverer Admin Load Wizard (when creating EUL)i can select database link previous created. But after link is selected Discoverer Administrator exits without message.
Discoverer version is 9.0.2.0.0 and database link is betwen two 9.2.0.1.0 databases (from DB1 to DB2). Discoverer is placed at server mashine where DB1 is installed. Load wizard with database link with database version 7.2 works OK.
What to do?

Hey.
I finally solved my own problem. It's not exactly the most elegant way, but I had to trick the installer into thinking this was a fresh install. under c:\program files\oracle\inventory there is a install.platform file. I changed the value in it to some other version from 912. The oui then complained that the inventory could not be found and would not move forward. I then went back and changed the value back to 912 and then clicked next in the oui again. This time it thought this was a fresh installation and I was able to specify another inventory directory. which I did. After that, the install went through. But I did not exit the oui when I modified the file.
Hope this helps others.
Thanks,
Piyush

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.

Strange Universal Installer problem

I'm trying to install Oracle on my Mandrake Linux 8.0 server.
Mandrake user forum has articles on procedures of Oracle installation.
After I finished all preparation tasks I launch runInstaller a weird thing happens.
When I click 'Deinstall Products' or 'about Oracle Universal Installer' I have the proper reaction, but when I click on
any one of the 'Exit', 'Help', 'Installed Products', or 'Next' buttons, nothing happens.
This happens to both Oracle 8.1.7 and Oracle 9.0.1.
Has anyone ever experienced this problem?
Yu-Hsin Chen

That's the exact reason I'm here right now. At first I thought that it was a problem with java not the installer but after installing and testing the recommended versions of the jre java works fine but the installer still doesn't. If you make any headway please let me know

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.

Where to find oracle universal installer

Hi,
i have oracle 10g installed on linux system at /home/oracle directory by a person who was before me at my work place.
i need to start the universal installer to see whether oracle text, intermedia has been installed or not. where should i go and start the universal installer.
i am not able to find it.
what is the installer file name . i mean what is the .exe file name for the installer
THanks,
Philip.

Hi Eric,
yes i was finally able to execute the commands u told me.
thisis what i did in order.
1. i first increased java_pool_size to >150M
then when i executed the catpatch.sql, i got following error
"BEGIN DBMS_REGISTRY.CHECK_SERVER_INSTANCE; END;
ERROR AT LINE 1
...DATABASE NOT OPEN FOR UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE"
2. NEXT i executed utlrp.sql which did run without errors. ( i think this script might have created soem problems for me, i am not sure about this)
3. next i executed soem scripts in order as told to me by another person
@initjvm.sql -- no errors
@initxml.sql --there were errors and did not execute
one of the error was something related with "....java_load..."
@xmlja.sql ---there were erros same with "....java_load.."
@catjava.sql --errors
@catexf.sql --errors
@catqm.sql --errors
@catxdbj.sql --no errors
after executing all the above, when i run the following sql
"select comp_name, status
from dba_server_registry;"
i got following result
Oracle Text VALID
OLAP Catalog VALID
Oracle Data Mining VALID
Oracle XML Database INVALID
Oracle InterMedia VALID
Oracle Expression Filter LOADING
Oracle Workspace Manager VALID
Oracle Database Catalog Views VALID
Oracle Database Packages and Types VALID
JServer JAVA Virtual Machine VALID
Oracle XDK LOADING
Oracle Database Java Packages LOADING
OLAP Analytic Workspace VALID
Oracle OLAP API VALID
I am not sure whether the scripts @catpatch and @utlrp created this problem or the other scripts that i mentioned created this problem. because before i executed these scripts only xml database was invalid and xdk was loading. rest are were valid. but now many components are invalid and loading.
CAN U HELP ME SOLVE THE ABOVE ISSUES AND MAKE THEM ALL VALID.
Thanks,
Philip.
