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.

I am trying to install the Oracle 12c 64bit client on a Windows 10 64bit PC. Whenever I run the setup it just quickly pops up a DOS window then immediately closes it. No error messages, nothing.
I know there are a few command line switches to ignore the prereq checking, but they don't appear to do anything.
Any tips are greatly appreciated...
The big question is 'what do you want the client for'? Most users can just unzip the Oracle Instant Client package(s) and not need to run an installer. If the tools (not the OS) you use are 64-bit then install the 64-bit Instant Client from here, otherwise if the tools are 32-bit then install the 32-bit Instant Client from here. Generic instructions are at the foot of each page, but check whether your tool etc has its own specific instructions.
The next question is do you really need the old 12c client? Since 19c Oracle Client libraries (including those in Oracle Instant Client) can connect to Oracle Database 11.2 or later, you can probably install the latest-and-greatest Instant Client (or "full" Oracle Client if you really need it).
Try opening up a command prompt in the same directory as the Setup.exe file you are attempting to run, then just run the executable from the command line. This should hopefully show what is popping up in the command prompt.
Another option to try is right clicking on the Setup.exe file and selecting Run as Administrator.
Check following folders and delete them, if existing:
%ProgramFiles%\Oracle\Inventory
%TEMP%\deinstall*
%TEMP%\OraInstall*
%TEMP%\CVU*
Then open a Command Line window as Administrator and start setup.exe from there - perhaps you get more information.
After installation have a look at %TEMP%\OraInstall* there you should find a detailed log file.
Make sure you are running the executable from a local drive, not a removeable drive or mapped drive.
Make sure you have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable installed.

That is to ignore higher version of Windows when install old Oracle Client.
On my experience - Oracle 10g client installation on Windows 10

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
I am new to database, i want to install oracle developer 10g on Windows 10 64bit.

Please help
This looks like Windows 10.
Try to run setup in Windows XP SP3 compatibility mode.
I am using an Excel VBA application to connect to an Oracle 12c database.
Excel is 2010, 32 bit, in Windows 7.
Many have advised Oracle Instant Client, but this has not worked for me. The installation requires a number of configuration steps that I cannot perform due to administrative restrictions on my workstation.
However, I have installed the ODAC 12.2c Release 1 and Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio (12.2.0.1.0), available HERE. This package includes the Oracle ODBC driver which works for my application. However, it contains several other components that I do not need, and throws some errors during installation that are disconcerting.
Can anyone tell me which of the following components I actually need to select in order to get the ODBC Driver?
Since I cannot get InstantClient to work with my companies restrictions, I'm now aiming to use this package, but hopefully to slim it down to just the component I need. I'm doing trial and error, but it's messy. The installation takes a long time and there's no uninstaller, so I have to manually delete the files after installation.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
The smallest solution is to download the
Instant Client Package - ODBC: Additional libraries for enabling ODBC applications (instantclient-odbc-nt-12.2.0.1.0-2.zip)
from Instant Client Downloads for Microsoft Windows 32-bit
You can also download the ODAC with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio from ODAC Developer Downloads - Oracle Universal Installer
Get the full 32-bit Oracle client installer (not the ODAC) from here:
http://download.oracle.com/otn/nt/oracle12c/122010/win32_12201_client.zip
Do an silent install using this reponse file (edit as needed and save as client_install_32.rsp in the same directory as setup.exe)
Response file
setup.exe" ORACLE_HOME_NAME=OracleClient12201x32 -waitforcompletion -nowait -silent -responseFile client_install_32.rsp
The key config entry is this:
oracle.install.client.customComponents="oracle.rdbms.oci:12.2.0.1.0","oracle.network.client:12.2.0.1.0","oracle.odbc:12.2.0.1.0"
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.
