oracle 11g R2 32 bit - SQL developer not opening on windows 11 Home - oracle

I installed oracle enterprise 11g R2 on windows 11 home single language.
Now trying to open SQL developer says 'Unable to launch the Java Virtual Machine located at path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_221\jre\bin\client\jvm.dll'.
Once I tried installing same oracle on windows 10 home but could not due to error. Later I came to know Oracle Enterprise is not supported on Windows 10 Home. This time however, there was no error as such except typical installation option was marked in red. Otherwise installation was complete. So I was hoping Windows 11 home would work.
In case, the problem is not to be solved, is there any oracle edition that is supported on windows 11 home. Objective here is to make small scale projects to learn nitty gritties of SQL thouroughly.
Thank you!

ODAC 18c Release 1 (18.3.0.0.0) Installer crashing

I am trying to install ODAC 18c Release 1 (18.3.0.0.0) and when I click on the Setup.exe it shows the black screen(command prompt ) and there after nothing is coming. The universal Installer is not at all loading.
Currently I am using Windows 10 Enterprise edition ,
VS 2015 , 2017 Professional editions are installed.
My Machine is 64 bit
Other than the above I have installed ODTwithODAC1120320_32bit also in my system.
No idea why the installer is crashing.
I could see a prerequisite like
Access to an Oracle Database Server (Oracle 11g Release 2 or later)
is needed for the instillation in installation guide. In fact my oracle database server is located in some other place and we are accessing that from my location , so I need only client for accessing that. I am not sure what they meant by
Access to an Oracle Database Server (Oracle 11g Release 2 or later)
Do I need to install the Oracle database 11g+ ?? Do the crashing issue is because of some other reasons ?
Can someone help me to resolve this ?
Methods I have tried so far :
Open the install folder directly and click on the oui.exe directly
Disconnect internet and try to install
Run the installation exe in elevated rights mode
Kill the java.exe from task manager and try to install
None of the above methods are working.
And finally I found the reason.
I didn't have a _JAVA_OPTIONS in the system variables. I have added that and run the installer as run as administrator.
The variable value should be -Xmx512M

Install Oracle 11g Client on Windows 10

Is it possible to install Oracle 11g client on Windows 10? Our firm's computers were upgraded to Windows 10 and our ODBC access no longer works. I then tried to use my personal PC (Win 10) to install the client and see if it works; however, after downloading the files and running setup.exe, a command window opens and closes immediately. I don't see any errors but it doesn't install either.
Some research shows that it may not be supported but if that's the case, how should we connect to our 11g database?
Any and all insight would be greatly appreciated.

oracle 12c installation windows 10 exit on first cmd screen

When installing oracle 12c (and also 11g) on a windows 10 machine the installation exits after the first cmd screen. It pops up for a brief moment and disappears. I tried the same installation on a clean windows 10 machine an it starts properly (so nothing wrong with the installation file). Any suggestions?
ONLY Oracle 12c (12.1.0.2) supported on Windows 10.
All full information about the compatibility of Oracle versions and supported platforms should be found on the official oracle support site.https://support.oracle.com

Installer Oracle 11g windows 64 bit doesn't work

This one drives me crazy, I am installing Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Windows 64 bit version. Because Express edition doesn't work on win7.
Link to download is: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win64soft-094461.html
In total there are 2 files, using 7zip I have unzipped them in one folder. Folder is called 'database' containing:
doc
install
response
stage
setup
welcome
I double clicked on setup, passed installation option where they ask me to provide email address to be informed of security issues. I selected 'Create and configure a database'. And in the next step where they ask for type of installation I chose 'Desktop Class'. After I clicked on 'Next' the installer just closes and installation is stopped..
Any idea what might be the cause? I have the rights, I am using a clean new laptop, WIN7 64 bit, installed JDK.
Oracle 11G Express Edition is officially available on 64-bit versions of Windows (Finally!).
Oracle 11G Express Edition Download Page
If you purpose is some developing/testing/learning why not use pre-built Oracle VM images? You just need to install Virualbox and download the image file.
I quote:
Because Express edition doesn't work on win7.
It actually works.
Just right click on setup and click "run as administrator". Ignore any error message.
It worked on win7 64bit and Windows Server 2008 R2 (of course 64bit).

Getting BIDS 2008 R2 to connect to Oracle using MSDAORA on Windows 8

I have a new dev machine, and I need to support legacy SSIS packages. The new machine is Windows 8 64 bit with a SSD primary drive (C:) and a regular HDD for data (D:). On it, I have installed BIDS 2008 R2 (and all the tricks to get it to work with TFS2010), as well as VS2010, ODAC 32 bit and 64 bit (I think??), Oracle Client (SQLDeveloper).
I can get the following to connect just fine to an Oracle database:
VS2010 with MSDAORA
VS2010 with ODAC
VS2010 with ADO.NET
Test connection using .udl file with Oracle OLE DB Provider (MS provider does not show up as an option here)
SQLDeveloper (Oracle's Client Tool)
What I CAN'T seem to do is get BIDS 2008 R2 to connect to Oracle using ANY method (MSDAORA, ADO.NET, ODAC).
The problem seems isolated to my machine, I can otherwise open, view, validate, connect and run these packages on other machines with no issues.
I have tried the following:
Ensured any/all TNSNAMES files are correct and identical (taking working copies from other machines, and let's not forget, this works fine in VS2010)
Created ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN Environment Variables and pointed them to various directories within D:\app\username\product\11.2.0
Checked registry manually to make sure no other references to ORACLE except for the entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
Unistalled/Reinstalled SQL Server 2008 R2 components
Every "solution" offered in every thread in every search I have tried
Thrown chicken bones and offered sacrifices to pagan deities
After each attempt at a fix, I still get the following error when trying to Preview a SQL Command in the Data Flow:
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-01019"
Yes, I know I need to drop MSDAORA in favor of ODAC, and if ODAC worked in BIDS 2008 R2 I would certainly do it. However, I can't get anything to connect to Oracle there (even though, as mentioned above, it connects fine in various other tools)
I have two "client_n" directories in D:\app\username\product\11.2.0. As mentioned, I have tried pointing my environment variables to various paths inside. It seems like the correct path for ORACLE_HOME should be just D:\app\username\product\11.2.0, correct?
Has anyone had any luck getting BIDS 2008 R2 to connect to Oracle while on WINDOWS 8 with VS2010 also installed? It seems to me like it's a simple Oracle connection issue, I just don't know enough about Oracle to troubleshoot.
Any other ideas to try?
BIDS is x32 (even on an x64 machine), so you will need to install the Oracle Client x32 edition, Full Install.
We were able to get it to work, though I believe that we installed too much software. (I have not been able to test it with only the ODAC drivers.)
Install the Oracle Client 32 & 64-bit drivers.
Install the Oracle ODAC 32 & 64-bit drivers.
In BIDS use the native Oracle connection, and not the Microsoft driver.
