Anyone have any luck installing Oracle10g Client 64-bit 10.2.0.3 on Windows 7 x64 RTM?

Solution 1

Try right clicking on the executable, clicking properties, clicking the compatability tab and setting "Run this program in compatability mode for" to Windows Vista or something earlier.

Solution 2

  • Run the application with the switch ignoresysprereqs
  • Removed the Oraprereq jar file which is checking the prereqs during the runtime.

Solution 3

My problem was different, I was getting an error installing it on my Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise SP1. I would get OS not supported. Even when I tired the -ignoreSysPrereqs, it still found it as a prereq and failed it. So I modified the Oracle\stage\prereq\db_prereqs\db\db_prereq.xml and deleted the section that tried to verify the OS type as well as the service pack. Installed fine after that. Hope this helps

    I am happy with Windows 7 RTM x64 overall as everything in my development environment works well with it except for Oracle Client 10.2.0.3 64 Bit version. I downloaded the latest release and as soon as I begin installing it, it stops with an error saying that it will install on Windows version 6.0 (Vista) but does not support Windows version 6.1 (Windows 7). There does not seem to be an option to ignore and continue. Anybody know a workaround for this? Cheers!

    Edit: Changing compatibility to Vista or any of the other options does not seem to work either. I am also running as administrator and have administrator rights.

    Fix: See my comment below for a solution!
