I am trying to install Oracle XE 11g on windows 7,32 bit machine.
The set up process goes fine until the step where the Oracle asks for password setup. Later when the installation starts, I get a pop up that says cannot instantiate the listener.ora file. I say OK, and then try to continue. But, then again, the another pop up says tnsnames.ora cannot be instantiated. This message continues with different file names unable to be instantiated. And finally the set up terminates
Any help in this would be appreciated
Thanks
I too faced the same issue, finally below are the reason for my issue
I did not have full permission to that folder where I am installing Oracle
Make sure the command prompt opened in Admin mode

I get this error when I launch Toad for Oracle.
No valid Oracle clients found. You need at least one 64-bit client properly configured.
This has been happening since I upgraded the Oracle Client to Oracle 12c from 11g.
Here is what I have done so far to try to resolve it based on internet research:
I checked the path variable, it's currently set to C:\xyz\Oracle\ora12.1\client_2\bin, and there is an Oracle installation at this path.
I checked the TNS_ADMIN variable, it is currently set to C:\xyz\Oracle\ora12.1\client_2\network\admin. This also appears to be valid and correct, there is a tnsnames.ora file under this path.
SQL Plus works without issues, and Oracle SQL Developer also works without issues.
Is there anything else I can try to resolve this issue? Unfortunately, uninstalling and reinstalling Toad is not an option at this point as I do not have access to a new setup.
The issue is due to not having the Oracle Database installed on your computer.
You can download the database here: https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/appdev/xe.html
Once the zip file is downloaded and extracted, run setup.exe. Once that is complete, the Oracle DB will be installed on your machine and the error will no longer appear.
With TOAD you need to have oracle client installed on your computer and you must configure the related TNSNAMES.ORA to connect to the server.
If you use SQLDeveloper you can do without oracle client installation.
I've downloaded oracle 12c on my personal laptop. Check system compatibility (alls good). However, towards the end Im getting an error stating "Oracle Services for microsoft transaction server" denied".
Please assist,
Googling the error message leads to this as the first result:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ins_20802_oracle_services_for_microsoft_transaction_server_failed.htm
Which basically says to ignore the message and run the Database Configuration Assistant manually to finish configuring the database.
When an installation fails, you should check the installation log for more details.
In my case, the log file said "hostname too long", so I shortened the host name and was able to do a successful install.
I faced the same issue recently and it was regarding [INS-20802] Oracle Database Configuration Assistant failed error. I think the solution for it will of help in your issue too.
I tried several of the following methods for resolving the issue :-
Disabling Windows UAC
Disabling firewall
Disabling antivirus - mine was a fresh VM, so disabled Windows Defender
Adding localhost IP i.e., 127.0.0.1 to the hosts file etc.
but none of them helped.
At last I found this, which suggested installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) and this solved the problem in a matter of seconds! I just had to click 'Retry' on the installation dialog.
Do you have local "Admininstrator" rights on the account that your are installing Oracle into?
The Oracle Universal Installer is trying to create the MTS service and access is being denied. This is why I usually don't take the default install, and use the "custom" install and select the components I want. OUI will then work out the dependencies and install the correct components.
With this type of failure, you should have had an option to "ignore/skip" the error and the installer should continue and install the database objects - you shouldn't need to re-install the database objects as the the MTS service component should install after the data objects are created and they are not reliant on each other. Unfortunately the installer status will still show "failed" because of that one component failing.
I'm trying to install Oracle BIEE 11g on my computer, but something wiered happend.
I've tried on a x86 computer with 2GB memory and a x64 computer with 4GB memory. Both of them are running Windows OS. I want to connect a MS-SQLSERVER database, and I've finished creating related DEV_ tables using RCU.
I followed the tutorial from the doc.oracle.com, but then I stopped at the 14th step, it says "设置数据库连接失败". I can continue install, but another error occurs, service obisch1 cannot start. I can open localhost:9704 after installation, but it will return a 500-error after I restart my computer.
I searched the internet, it says I should set my database source using "Net Manager" Tool, but I don't know how. And after install I got a database source using driver "MERANT OEM 5.3 32-BIT SQL Server Wired Protocol", but I can't make change to it, cause the system says can't find the driver...
I don't know what to do now... Anybody can help me? Thanks very much.
Well, I've kind of solved it.
I still don't know why my computer cannot find the odbc drier "MERANT OEM 5.3 32-BIT SQL Server Wired Protocol", which seems to be the reason why I can't connect to the database at the 14th step while I install OBIEE.
However, I add an odbc-connect through the system's function, I found it in the control panel.
On the other hand, the url http://localhost:7001/em and http://localhost:7001/analytics can be still accessed(after a long time, it can be accessed).
So, then I create a rpd file use my own odbc-connect, and it seems work fine.
Thanks everybody, anyway, and hopes can help
I have Informix version 11.50 installed on my Windows machine. According to this link, in order to start the server, it should be done through Windows services, look for Informix IDS - instance_name. It is supposed to start when Windows is started up, but for my case it is not, and it wasn't started. Thus I start it up manually by double clicking on it, and it prompt me an error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a
timely fashion.
May I know is there any solution in order to start up the local Informix DB on windows?
You will have to check what went wrong in Informix log. It is located in Informix dir and has server name with .log extension (for example c:\informix\ol_test.log). In this file there is information about running server like:
12:42:36 IBM Informix Dynamic Server Started.
Check this file and give us more details if you will not know how to solve reported problems.
Installation of Informix in Windows Vista has been failed. Due to the reason this Informix thing is not able to uninstall and not even allow me to configure a database. Even though I have manually delete the whole folder from Program Files, when trying to install a new copy of Informix, it prompt me the "Invalid ISV name" thing which I totally running out of clue with.
I found a post mention that Vista is not a good platform for Informix. Forget about Windows as a Server a.k.a. WAAS.
xD
I have installed the Oracle Client 10.2.1 32bit in an X64 WIN7 laptop. I have Installed also TOAD and PLSQLDeveloper but both of them are not working and the error is: ORA-12154:TNS could not resolved the connection idebrified. While with the NET MANAGER I can connect with the database.
Any idea how can I resolve this big issue?
Thanks
This is probably due to the parenthesis in the folder in which the client application has been installed (x86).
More detail and solutions can be found here
The error TNS could not resolve service name usually means that the client is not able to find the tnsnames.ora file. There are several locations where the clients tries to find it, one of the first locations is in %ORACLE_HOME%/network/admin
Better is to define a environment variable TNS_ADMIN and make that point to a directory where the sql*net files are located.
you can use tnsping your_service_name to check the resolution.
