RE: Problems installing Developer on XP

Thanks Chip,

I will take a look at this when I get time. In the meantime, I found one solution....

My local expert showed me how to get this to run....

Right click on "setup.exe" and under properties, can set the compatibilty to Windows2000.

It worked !!

http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/forms/content.html has a link to download Oracle Forms Developer/Services 6i Release 2 for Windows 98/NT/2000/XP that was posted 13 Feb 03. Note: this is the first Forms 6i installer that can install on Windows XP Professional (previous versions were disabled).

The OTN Forms statement of direction is worth reading: http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/htdocs/FormsSOD.html Looks like Windows XP Professional will be the last Windows platform to be certified for Forms 6i client/server deployment.

Also, OTN has a certification matrix for Forms 6i: http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/htdocs/clientsod_forms6i.html

Have Fun :)
