Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: 9i install on Win2K
Hi Mark,
Haven't followed your thread but I installed O9i on W2K with 512MB RAM and it was a breeze. I did use the preconfigured database though (could not be bothered going through the dbassistant for a play database)
What is the problem, do you need a copy of the LINUX CD's?
How's your golf handicap by now?
take care Jack

Oh, don't worry I know where your coming from ;)
I have considered doing this - though I have RedHat 7.1. and I'm a bit dubious of putting 9i on an "Unsupported" platform.. The other reason is that I have the install CDs for NT/2000 and not LINUX :0(
Win2K is our standard desktop, where we run our business applications, so I have use it all day really - I would prefer to have a local database to test, run through (while walking products through), and break while trying to answer question to this list :>
It's doesn't seem like its going to happen though :(
Now - I have to ask the question - Have you *tried* to install 9i on your Win2K partition?
Cheers
Mark

Not trying to be funny Mark but...
any reason why you don't want to set up a Suse linux partition on your 40Gb
hard drive and run 9i (Linux version)? I have W2k in one partition on my
P4
system and Suse 7.1 (kernel 2.4.7) running 9i in another partition. The
problem is I can't run W2K and access the Oracle database at the same time.
But if you don't have this requirement, then this would be a good
workaround.

Hi ladies & gents,
I think I am having a blonde Monday (no I have nothing against blondes, or Mondays for the matter.. but anyway :) ).
I've got essentially a new PC (new HD), that I would *like* to install 9i
on
to. PC is as follows:
P4 1.3 gig
256Mb RAM (Only a test box)
40 gig HD
Win2K SP2
Now, I have the 9i install CDs (Thanks Joe!), but am unable to actually get the *JAVA BLOODY INSTALLER* (why don't they keep it simple eh?!?!) working! The autorun program starts, but when I try to kick it in to the Java installer (Install/Deinstall Products) I get the following error:
The Java RunTime Environment was not found at
C:\DOCUME~1\MARKLE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\OraInstall\jre\binjrew.exe. Hence, the
Oracle Universal Installer cannot be run.
Please visit http://www.javasoft.com and install JRE version 1.1.7 or
higher
and try again.
Now, my java environment (actually JRE 1.3.1) is installed in it's normal place - C:\Program Files\Javasoft\JRE\1.3.1\..
In the Oracle Installation Guide it also says -
"Oracle Universal Installer automatically installs Oracle's version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). This version is required to run Oracle Universal Installer and several Oracle assistants. Do not modify the JRE, unless doing so with a patch provided by OracleMetaLink. Visit: "
It is plainly not doing this at all!
Now, I remembered that I had the exact same problem when installing the 8.1.7 client on to this machine (before it had a new Hard Drive), and the solution (provided by Larry Strickland) was that they had a faulty dll (symcjit.dll) that had to be replaced in the install directories from the CD. Larry also provided me with a copy of the new dll..
I copied the entire contents of the install CDs to my HD, and searched for
this particular dll, and guess what? I found it, twice, and both versions
had different modification dates - and here's the best bit - and they were
BOTH still older than the version supplied by Larry! (Strickland that is
:))
Nothing like keeping up to date is there? :)
I copied over the old versions with the new version - but have still had no
joy :( I keep getting the exact same error. I've even copied the contents
of
Disk1\RR_MOVED\JRE\WIN32\BIN (where one of the symcjit.dll files actually
was) in to the temp orainstall directory, and modified the path
accordingly,
I then get no error at all, but the installer just disappears, and nothing
happens!!
Any ideas??
Mark
