Install Oracle 10g onward database, developer on Windows 7

*Update* 11.Dec.2011 PART I (Install Oracle 10g on Windows 7) Almost after more than year time, We still receive requests asking for assistance with installing Oracle 10g database while Oracle has 11g release 2 (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterpriseedition/overview/index.html) in place. We do understand why many need Oracle 10g against the latest released database and we confirm our claim once again YOU CAN INSTALL Oracle 10g on Windows 7 (Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional etc) Though I believe the maximum number Oracle applications are accessed through Microsoft Windows clients, when the cooperation comes in, Oracle and Microsoft behave like sisters in a fight and the end users suffer! As a Oracle developer it is my primary requirement to have a local database running from my laptop/desktop, having the oracle development tools properly installed and once I started with Windows 7, apparently failed miserably to get the Oracle stuff installed properly on Windows 7. It took me almost 6 or more months to come against another wordpress blog where a user has posted a fix and frankly it WORKS Before checking the workaround check what Chris F has to say Thanks. This was helpful. I noticed when installing the 10.2.0.4 server that even after changing the refhost.xml file, I was still getting the same version check errors. I then had to go into the install/oraparam.ini file and change the certified version comma-delimited list there. After that, the installer was happier. here is the work around. Example, go to this folder E:\Installers\Oracle_10g_1023\Disk1\stage\prereq\db locate the file refhost.xml, open it with notepad

<OPERATING_SYSTEM> <VERSION VALUE=6.1/> </OPERATING_SYSTEM> </CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS> Now run the Oracle installer and you would see the installation completes without giving any errors. PART II (Install Developer Suite 10g on Windows 7) Step 1 Setup Virtual Memory Depending upon actual memory available with your computer, setup virtual memory. You can go upto double the size of actual memory while setting up your virtual memory. Please refer to the image(s) below

Let us see whether we could get some from the archives. If we can, we will be more than glad to let you know whether it could be done or not. Meanwhile try the following Extract your 9i database installation files to a folder in C: eg: c:\9idbsrouces now go to command prompt and change the working directory cd C:\9idbsrouces now type setup -ignoreSysPrereqs monitor the installation process and let us know whether you managed to install the database We were able to install 8i client this way (a crash about java was reported during install however

From the errors, we could read that you are creating ODBC connection using DSN right? With 64bit Windows operating system, you will not able straightaway hookup your DSN, as the drivers get installed under native 64bit repos. Last year we had the same problems and were able to resolve by switching to 10g 64bit client.
