Oracle 10g Installation on Windows 7 RC
When you try to install Oracle 10g on Windows 7 you get an error, that the version is not supported (found version: 6.1, supported versions: 5.0,5.1,6.0).
To install Oracle 10g you have to change the following files:
database\install\oraparam.ini:
Add the version 6.1 at the end of the list:
Windows=5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0,6.1
database\stage\prereq\db\refhost.xml:
Add a section for version 6.1:
<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<VERSION VALUE=”6.1″/>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
After adjusting the two files I started “oui.exe” in the database\install directory with Administrator rights.
(the solution was easy to find, after I googled the following page: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/director/v6r1x/index.jsp?topic=/director.tbs_6.1/fqm0_r_tbs_oracle_10gR2_client_will_not_install.html)
