Has anyone had any luck in getting an Oracle client to install and work with Windows 7 RC? I went and upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 but having terrible problems getting my Oracle databases to work...
Phew I eventually worked it out. I downloaded the Oracle Instant Client x86 and copied that and setup up my environment variables (PATH, LD_LIBRARY, TNS_ADMIN). The problem I had before was that I downloaded the x64 version which won't work with Toad which is an x86 app! As soon as I installed the x86 version the problem was solved....
I ran into similar issues.
After downloading the Oracle 10g client for Vista (10203_vista_w2k8_x86_production_client.zip) from the Oracle web site, I unzipped the files, right-clicked on setup.exe, and selected Run As Administrator.
Within the Oracle Universal Installer, I selected Administrator, clicked the Next button, and then selected the Oracle home name and path and clicked the Next button.
As mentioned in other answers, the installer failed on the next screen, "Product-Specific Prequisite Checks". The specific failure was "Checking operating system requirements..." in the third column, there is a check box (which was not checked). I clicked in the check box and the installer changed the status to "Not executed". When I clicked the Next button, it warned me that the install may fail. I clicked Okay. I was able to install without further issue.
It is not intuitive and the Oracle 11g client may be different, but this worked for me.

I had the same issue. What I did to solve this problem was:
- right click on the setup
- choose Troubleshoot Compatibility
- it will popup a window "Test Compatibility settings for the program". It tells me which version is it compatible with and Windows 7 will activate that setting for you. In my case was Windows XP service pack 2 is the setting used to install this Oracle 10g client
- click on the button "Start the program" it will run the installer
- done
It Worked with me, I had to do the following: (all after installing oracle in either compatibility mode or skipping the OS check results)
1- Set up the %Oracle_Home% in the environment variables.
2- Configured "tnsnames.ora, listener.ora and sqlnet.ora" to make sure they match
3- Replaced a malfunctioning DLL for sql*plus (I found the original one in the setup's temp file, just by using search from windows)
4- Logged into sqlplus from command line (sys /as dba) and created a user with high privileges (cuz you can't build a repository with "system" or "sys"
5- Used this new user to create the repository from the RAU (Repository Administration Utility), and here you go!

So I have successfully installed Oracle DB 19c and connected it to Oracle SQL Developer. I am able to create tables and run queries. Furthermore, I can connect to ADW with both python and SQL Developer and any changes that I commit are seen in all locations. I am trying to connect the ADW database to Power BI. I am running all this on a personal Windows 10 Pro laptop with plenty of SSD & RAM.
In a new window of Power BI I click Get Data and then Oracle Database followed by Connect. When I do this I get a pop up that says:
The recommended provider ('Oracle.DataAccess.Client') is not installed. You can continue with your current provider, however it has been deprecated and may not work correctly.
I clock OK. Enter my Server as the TNS Name that I have used for my python and SQL Developer instances. In my ADW database, I have a table called TEST. It's a simple table with 1 column with the years 2015 through 2020 in it. Been using this to test to see if things are working. So I click on the DirectQuery and run the SQL statement SELECT * FROM TEST under the Advanced options menu and select OK. A sign in window pops up and I select the Database table and enter my correct ADW username and password. The same one that I can use to access this table from SQL Developer and then select Connect. When I do, I get this error:
Details: "The provider being used is deprecated: 'System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.'. Please visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=272376 to install the official provider."
So I go to the website and download the ODAC122011_x64 file from Oracle and unzip it. When I double click the setup.exe file inside the directory I get a yes/no user control account menu and I select yes and then a command prompt window flashes very quickly and then nothing happens. I ran a super slow motion capture from my phone to capture what the command window showed and below is what I see:
Starting Oracle Universal Starter...
Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 color Higher than 256 . Actual 4294967290 Passed
Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from C:\Users\<my username>\AppData\Local\Temp\OraInstall2020 09:20_09-04 {???}
Please wait .._
It does nothing after this I have tried running the oui.exe file under the install subdirectory and get nothing and I have tried running the install.exe file in Oracle Universal Installer that I acquired when installing Oracle DB 19c and I get the following error when I target the install.exe file for installation:
OUI-10118:C/Users/{my username}/Downloads/ODAC122011_x64/Setup.exe is either a directory or a corrupt file. Specify a valid filename.
This is a file that I just directly downloaded from Oracle's website and unzipped to a directory with no spaces in the directory location. I have the latest version of Java installed (JDK 15).
I am not sure the proper work around here. Why can't I get my Power BI to connect to my Oracle ADW table using the methods described in this article. Those are the instructions that I used. It appears that I need this ODAC application but I don't understand why it won't install.
Can anyone help me resolve this issue? Thanks!
Edit: I am using 64-bit on each application.
Update: Still having issues. I checked the log and this is what I am seeing:
Using paramFile:

the client version need not match the server version, Removing all other versions, and making sure that I had the x64 version,
You need the latest ODP.net library to use Oracle. Please download it here:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/dotnet/utilsoft-086879.html
I figured out the solution after reviewing this post. Apparently having over 2TB of free space on a hard drive causes this problem. You have to go into command prompt and create a temporary file to get your free space under 2TBs using something like this:
fsutil file createnew temp_1TB_file 1200000000000
Run the setup.exe again and then delete the temp file after.
Update: After doing all this I still was running into the same issues in Power BI. Then I read the troubleshooting notes from this page more closely and realized that I might have found the problem when it said:
If you downloaded Power BI Desktop from the Microsoft Store, you might be unable to connect to Oracle databases because of an Oracle driver issue.
I uninstalled the PowerBI Desktop that I had installed from Microsoft Store and installed it from the download from its website and tried connecting to Oracle ADW again through PowerBI and IT WORKED!!! So much troubleshooting but it finally works!
I am installing weblogic 12c (12.1.3) on RHEL (Red hat enterprise Linux Server 7.1) using GUI Mode. I am using X11 forwarding using XMing and connecting to the server over SSH using Putty.
When I run the command "java -jar Weblogic/fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar" it shows some initial error as "Checking monitor: Must be configured to display 256 bit color" Failed. I ignored the installation and went ahead.
But when the GUI opened the characters are scrambled and unreadable as the image attached next
Weblogic GUI - Not readable
I tried installation using both JDK 1.7 and 1.8 and had the similar results
I seems to be issue with some character encoding but was not able to figure out. I checked the Unix $LANG environment variable and it is set properly to "en_US.UTF-8" I checked Putty if there is any option related to encoding. And found one under Window > Translation > Remote Character Set and the value is set as UTF-8
I checked by copying text inside the text box beside the Browse equivalent one, and pasted it in notepad. The text is valid in notepad
I found the solution to the issue with the help of the Unix team.
I checked for other GUI installer like IBM Unica Campaign. I got the similar issue. So I was sure it has nothing to do with the installer. Either something with the SSH pipe or something in the server. I shared the details of one server where it worked fine earlier and asked Unix team to compare the packages.
Unix Admin team found that the issue might be due to the font lyx-fonts which didn't exist in the server where it was working fine. The font was removed by Unix admin team. After that the installer was showing correct string.
I had the same problem. However, if you install all prerequisite packages (see the requirements guide of Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c) for Linux then the problem disappears. Specifically you must install redhat-lsb-4.1-27.0.1.el7 for x86_64 (Redhat or OEL 7). This installs the lyx-fonts again, but also some stuff that makes your X-Windows display ok again.
Also I had the same issue. I solved it. I just install the package "xorg-x11-fonts-Type1"
I just recently upgraded to Windows 10 and ever since I have upgraded I can't get into VB6. I keep getting the System Registry error. I have googled and tried about everything and nothing seems to work. Running VB6 as Administrator is not an option, don't ask but we can't have admin to our computers we have to be logged in as users. The way we use to fix it was to trick Windows 7 log on as Admin run VB6 as Admin then switch me back to user and it worked, but this no longer works. Does anyone have any suggestions that currently have VB6 working as a user and not admin? I really don't want to resort to have to run it out of my virtual machine :( Thanks in advance!
Amanda,
I know it is 3 years later and I wonder what you did. and my solution may be late.
I moved VB6 Enterprise to a Windows10 machine, I did not upgrade the machine to Win10 with the IDE. However to make it work for some of my clients with Win10 machines I:
Back up all the VB6 files, folder and directories.
Using control panel in Win10, uninstall VB6 app. That's right, uninstall!
Using the original install disk, running it as an Administrator, install the program.
If the program has been updated to a later version, you need to get a copy of the latest version and copy over the one that was installed.
Or, Sweet Talk your IT guy into making you a new install disk with the latest version you are supposed to be running.
Go to the folder where the exe file is installed, Right Click on it and open the Properties, and go to the Compatibility tab.
Choose run as an administrator, and also click the Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP Service Pack3, or if it shows Latest version of Windows XP try that. You may need to check with your IT department.
Warning: if the VB6 program uses any non-Microsoft tools you may need to register them by hand.
I suspect this has already been worked out for you, but I put it here for anyone that may stumble across it, needing it.
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.
While installing my msi i get the follwing error
Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly component {98CB24AD-52FB-DB5F-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}. HRESULT: 0x800736B3. assembly interface: IAssemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, assembly name: Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32",version="8.0.50727.42",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"
I do carry Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm in my MSI. But the problem is that i do not see this issue in all machines. This is faced only on a 2012 Windows Virtual machine.
Can anyone please tell me why this error would normally come?
I think you have a corrupted windows O/S. Otherwise it is correct to test on VM's configured with a variety of virgin operating systems that you want to support. Additionally I highly advise to never use this merge module. Instead using a bootstrapper/chainer (WiX Burn, InstallShield Setup Prereqs or Suite Installation ) to install the stand alone versions of the redist from Microsoft. This helps draw a line in the sand between a Microsoft problem and a problem with your installer. It also makes upgrade servicing easier.
I got the same error message on windows 7 (32bit).
This was caused by a failure in windows update for my case.
After that, I cannot install any other program on the computer. I searched from internet and found suggestions made by Microsoft engineers: repair the system from Original Installation disc with "update to latest" choice unchecked.
However, I found another simple solution which also works for my case.
1． Click START>> and type “regedit” to run register editor;
2． Find the following directory in register: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control;
3． search by F3 for the key RegistrySizeLimit and double click the DWORD;
4． Change the key value into ffffffff(Hex) or decimal 4294967295, then click OK;
5． restart the computer;
6． run cmd.exe with Administrator's privilege, and type SFC /SCANNOW followed by Enter in command line; this scanning may take several minutes until the status is 100% and finishes;
Then the problem can be fixed!!
I got this error in my Win7x64 VM after I installed .NET Framework 4.5 required by my MSI. I had a fresh OS install with no Windows updates, plus VS2005 SP1. I ran this Microsoft FixIt: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976982/en-us, but it did not help until I restarted the VM. Once I restarted the VM, the error disappeared. I think all I needed was a restart, but I provide the above details in case it was the FixIt that actually fixed it.
On a windows 2016 server, I solved the problem by resetting DCOM security to default
launch dcomcnfg
then set Default Authentication Level to Connect
and Default Impersonation Level to Identify
