General Notice:
31st October 2019 (Final note on the topic, most probably)
As Windows 10 is maturing, Oracle Developer 10g 32Bit is having regular issues, most probably due to dynamic link libraries and function calls those are NOT any more existing or compatible. As we continue using Oracle E-Business Suite R12 with 0 plans to migrate as on date, the ONLY ONE solution left for us was to move the development stack to Windows XP Virtual Machines, on which the Developer Suite works as intended.
Please note, we don’t have solution for you, if you are trying to install Oracle database 10.1.x.x on Windows 7 or Windows 8. We apologize for a bit confusing title for this particular post which says “Install 10g onwards…” which is not literally true! Our tested database version was 10.2.0.3 and we were having the impression that all 10g releases had the same architecture.
We tried around a couple of dozen times to install 10.1.0.2 database on both Windows 7 (32/64bit) and on Windows 8, and every time the results were futile and we are resigning from future attempts :)
*Update* 11.Dec.2011
*Update* 13.Nov.2012
We are limiting this workaround method for Oracle Database versions 10.2.x.x and above, as one recent lab test proved that 10.1.x.x installation on Windows 7 never completing successfully. Run under compatibility mode set as OS version 5.1 (Windows XP Professional), failed to create database during the installation process, throwing Oracle error “ORA-12546”
This error looks like the same issues we had with Database 9i setup in the lab, apparently without any solutions. So, we guess it is time to move on :)
*Update* 21.Nov.2012
Looks like we are always on to the subject :) Anyway for those who guys have access to Oracle support, there is a happy news. The frequent crash experienced by Developer 10g forms are addressed to a greater level with an upgrade to 10.1.2.3.0 (patch number 5983622)
Noticed changes
- Forms doesn’t crash while opening form modules which are referring views, database objects like packages, procedures and functions WHILE NOT connected to database (Provided, minimum one time the forms developer was connected to the database, until a restart). Speaking English. Start developer 10g(patched), connect to database. Close forms developer and start it again, try to open forms modules without connecting to database until the computer restarts, you shouldn’t experience crashes.
- Quicker start-up, and the interface is ready to serve much faster than 10.1.2.0.2
- Installation has an option to override required OS version with y/n prompt
PART I (Install Oracle 10g on Windows 7)
Almost after more than year time, We still receive requests asking for assistance with installing Oracle 10g database while Oracle has 11g release 2 in place. We do understand why many need Oracle 10g against the latest released database and we confirm our claim once again YOU CAN INSTALL Oracle 10g on Windows 7 (Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional etc)
Though I believe the maximum number Oracle applications are accessed through Microsoft Windows clients, when the cooperation comes in, Oracle and Microsoft behave like sisters in a fight and the end users suffer!
As a Oracle developer it is my primary requirement to have a local database running from my laptop/desktop, having the oracle development tools properly installed and once I started with Windows 7, apparently failed miserably to get the Oracle stuff installed properly on Windows 7.
It took me almost 6 or more months to come against another wordpress blog where a user has posted a fix and frankly it WORKS
Before checking the workaround check what Chris F has to say
“Thanks. This was helpful. I noticed when installing the 10.2.0.4 server that even after changing the refhost.xml file, I was still getting the same version check errors. I then had to go into the “install/oraparam.ini” file and change the certified version comma-delimited list there. After that, the installer was happier.”
here is the work around.
Example, go to this folder “E:\Installers\Oracle_10g_1023\Disk1\stage\prereq\db”
locate the file “refhost.xml”, open it with notepad
you must see something like this
<CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>
<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<VERSION VALUE=”5.0″/>
<SERVICE_PACK VALUE=”1″/>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<VERSION VALUE=”5.1″/>
<SERVICE_PACK VALUE=”1″/>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<VERSION VALUE=”5.2″/>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<!–Microsoft Windows Vista–>
<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<VERSION VALUE=”6.0″/>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
</CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>
now add the following:
<!–Microsoft Windows 7–>
<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<VERSION VALUE=”6.1″/>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
within <CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS> </CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS> tags, and the final entries should look like this
<CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>
<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<VERSION VALUE=”5.0″/>
<SERVICE_PACK VALUE=”1″/>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<VERSION VALUE=”5.1″/>
<SERVICE_PACK VALUE=”1″/>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<VERSION VALUE=”5.2″/>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<!–Microsoft Windows Vista–>
<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<VERSION VALUE=”6.0″/>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<!–Microsoft Windows 7–>
<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<VERSION VALUE=”6.1″/>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
</CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>
Now run the Oracle installer and you would see the installation completes without giving any errors.
PART II (Install Developer Suite 10g on Windows 7)
Step 1 Setup Virtual Memory
Depending upon actual memory available with your computer, setup virtual memory. You can go upto double the size of actual memory while setting up your virtual memory. Please refer to the image(s) below
You would be asked to restart the computer and please restart.
Step 2 Setting up the Developer Suite 10g installer
Open the Disk 1 folder and locate “Setup.exe’
Right click “Setup.exe” and change the compatibility to Windows XP Service Pack 2 or 3
Step 3 Install Developer Suite 10g
Double click and start the installation, if you already have Sp1 installed and running latest Java runtime, you may come across PSAPI.DLL errors a number of times, caused by a function call missing information. You can safely ignore the warning messages and complete the installation.
Thanks. This was helpful. I noticed when installing the 10.2.0.4 server that even after changing the refhost.xml file, I was still getting the same version check errors. I then had to go into the “install/oraparam.ini” file and change the certified version comma-delimited list there. After that, the installer was happier.
Thanks,
This was helpful…..
Very Very Thanks!

Hello
the file mentioned with the OTN is not anymore available for download. You may install the latest java run time (32bit) and copy the jvm.dll from the client folder to the said location of jinitiator. I tried it couple of years back and it was working properly. Anyway please do confirm after you try it out. All the best.
I have downloaded the latest java run time and installed it on my lappy (windows 7 64 bit) and copy and replaced the jvm.dll file into the said folder. i have also disable the security setting from internet explorer option and restart my lappy but still when i tries to run the form, the internet explorer 8 crashes (I am facing the same problem with mozilla forefox ) Please help……….!!!!
Okay. Let me give it a try. I will post a possible workaround (if any) soon.
Replace the file with one downloaded from following link
http://www.4shared.com/file/tijdUhx1/jvm.html
Try again and let us know. HTH
After replacing jvm.dll by your given file. Form builder is showing an error that “fail to invoke web browser” on running the form

I am using Toad for Oracle 9.6 to connect to oracle 10g in a windows 7 64 bit environment. But while connecting it shows an error.

Any advice will be appreciated………!!
Uninstall toad, then re-install toad on a local folder, say C:\toad
This should solve your issues with Toad.

hi 7 bugs!!
thanks for idea of editing refhost file,installer was happy to move but this time i got DCA error of ORA:12560 TNS protocal adapter error. pls suggest way out
Hello sud_dhiman
Normally the error “ORA:12560 TNS protocal adapter error” happens when the Oracle database service under Windows/Linux fail to start.
Now please answer the following:
Does your PC/laptop has a dedicated IP address? (Static IP address or Microsoft loopback adaptor)
Make sure your antivirus & firewall are disabled during the installation of Oracle database
Try to re-install the product and post us the results
Regards,
hi 7,
i tried reinstalling 10g on win7, and kept firewall disbaled. still getting TNS 12560 error during DCA database creation first time while installation about to finish. I even tried to set ORACLE_SID but not getting SID as database yet not be created.
Now installation finished by ignoring error but while connecting sysdba its showing TNS 12560 error. Any way out plss
i am trying to install oracle 10g in win7 home premium.

Hello John
Would you please be more specific about your OS (32/64bit), Home/Professional/Ultimate etc?
What product you are trying to install? Database/Developer suite
Without having such details with posts, we will not able to provide you further assistance.
As mentioned with the post, the work arounds were successful under
Windows 7 Professional 64bit boxes
Oracle database 10g (any release)
Oracle developer suite 10g
Oracle developer 6i (with and without patch 18)
Regards,
Admin
I’m using Windows 7 (x64 architecture) ultimate version OS. The product is Oracle 10g Database. I have downloaded from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html
whenever I start setup, in the command prompt it shows “CreateFile error 32 when trying set file time” and oracle installation window opens but selecting advance installation and on clicking next button the installation window frame closes…..
Bump. Same issue on a WIndows XP 32bit system. If I resolve I will post.
Disable antivirus and try, it “MAY” help

Hi John
Please try to download the installation package once again and try to install Oracle. 90% of the time this particular error happens when the installation package is corrupt.
Please try to install from a fresh downloaded installation source and kindly let us know whether you were able to.
Regards,
Admin
Alright!!
Hello John
Did you manage to install Oracle database?
Regards,
Admin
I downloaded new setup package of the same and did recommended changes, and on installation the command prompt showed: “Checking operating system version: must be 5.0,5.1,5.2,or 6.0 actual 6.1 Failed<<<"
then i changed the compatibility of setup file to vista. Now the setup starts but selecting advance installation and clicking next button,the setup window closes….. totally confused, can't understand what to do now
Further, if you find installing 10g database too much trouble, try installing Oracle database 11g R2.
Read few places that it installs perfectly on Windows 7 without hacks.
Regards,
Admin
Hi John
Did we say changing the compatibility for installing the database anywhere with our post? I hope we didn’t.
Please go through the entire post
http://windows7bugs.wordpress.com/2010/02/18/install-oracle-10g-onward-database-developer-on-windows-7/
read carefully and try to install the database. All the best.
Admin
thanks to windows7bugs the installation was successful…. the only other changes that i had to do was in the file “oraparam” in install folder.
the changes were: [Certified Versions]
#You can customise error message shown for failure, provide value for CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAILURE_MESSAGE
Windows=5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0
I changed it to: [Certified Versions]
#You can customise error message shown for failure, provide value for CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAILURE_MESSAGE
Windows=5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0,6.1
and also added:
[Windows-6.1-required]
#Minimum display colours for OUI to run
MIN_DISPLAY_COLORS=256
#Minimum CPU speed required for OUI
#CPU=300.
Hi John
Glad to hear that you managed to install the db finally. Thanks for keeping us updated.

thanks to windows7bugs and Jhon, this solves my problem also.

Finally got hold of a machine running Windows 7 home basic 64bit OS and was able to install Developer 10g without any troubles, all we had to do was
Virtual memory settings to manually managed.
Compatibility mode set to “Windows XP Service Pack 2”
Does it sound niceeeeee?
Admin
i hav just installed oracle 10 g in my windows 7 home premium with service pack 1 32 bit os.but i cant configure the database on that.could u pls help me for this?
Hi Suhail
Did you mean you cannot create additional databases or during the installation configuring database fails?
Please comment.
Regards,

I tried all options to install oracle 10.1.2.0.2 . But the installer says
” The Windows System Files Install has not been run on this machine.One or more operating system files currently in use need to be updated.You must exit this installation and use Disk1 to run a Secondary Windows system Files installation to update the operating system files and then restart the current installation process.”
I changed the virtual memory to custom size as said and that did not help.
How can I proceed?
Hello Anu
Sorry for the delayed reply. Would you please post us the following details?
Operating system
from the version mentioned, we believe you were trying to install developer 10g, Please confirm the same
Is there any possibility for you to obtain another copy of installer files?

Hello,
I am using windows 7 32bit. I want to install Oracle 10 Developer Suit on my pc but I could not find %\Oracle_10g_1023\Disk1\stage\prereq\db\refhost.xml file when I extract ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1.zip.
Please help me how can I install Oracle 10g on my pc
Help…
Hello Eleash
You will not find refhost.xml for Developer Suit, refhost.xml file is available with database installation packages. To install Developer suite, just follow the section explains the same.
For a quick reference, unzip your sources to a new folder. Right click on the install.exe/setup.exe and select compatibility as Windows XP SP2 after setting up virtual memory parameters manually.
Please read our post carefully once again, and we are sure you will able to finish the installation without much troubles.
All the best

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

Is there any way to install Oracle 9i database with developer 6i on window7
Hello Ibrar
Unfortunately we don’t have access to 9i database installation sources. Let us see whether we could get some from the archives. If we can, we will be more than glad to let you know whether it could be done or not. Meanwhile try the following
Extract your 9i database installation files to a folder in C:
eg: c:\9idbsrouces
now go to command prompt
and change the working directory
cd C:\9idbsrouces
now type setup -ignoreSysPrereqs
monitor the installation process and let us know whether you managed to install the database
We were able to install 8i client this way (a crash about java was reported during install however we were able to connect to 10.x.x.x database using 8i client on Windows 7 64bit)
Please note, you shouldn’t use these kind of workarounds for production environments, these are meant for learning and testing ONLY.
Regards,
Admin
Muhammad, it looks like you are certainly not allowed to install oracle 9i database on Windows 7. There are no known workarounds for jrew.exe crash.

Hello Ramya
Please try the following
Upgrade your IE to IE 9
Once IE is upgraded, please uninstall and replace JRE with the latest available
If you are using jinitiator for local testing, you must change jiniator with JRE, follow the thread

You are getting the listed exception while trying to install the database or while you are trying to connect to the installed database while doing some sort of scripting programming? like jsp pages?

yes iam getting the above exception when i try to connect to the installed database…………….. i want to do mini projects using core java not jsp
Hello Jo
“sql exception: [Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-06413: Connection not open.
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-06413: Connection not open.”
From the errors, we could read that you are creating ODBC connection using DSN right? With 64bit Windows operating system, you will not able straightaway hookup your DSN, as the drivers get installed under native 64bit repos. Last year we had the same problems and were able to resolve by switching to 10g 64bit client.

atlast i tried to install oracle 11g(11.2.0.1.0) express edition in my laptop and some how with lot of hurdles i installed it.
secondly, i created a listener and a database
thirdly, i wrote the bello coding in elipse.
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.Date;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class Test
{
public static final String DBURL = “jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1524:Demo”;
public static final String DBUSER = “system”;
public static final String DBPASS = “manager”;
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException
{
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(DBURL, DBUSER, DBPASS);
Statement statement = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(“SELECT * FROM emp”);
if(rs.next())
{
System.out.println(“”+rs.getString(1));
System.out.println(“”+rs.getString(2));
}
rs.close();
statement.close();
con.close();
}
}
again i created DSN in control panel->administrative tool->add
soo, there i checked for the connection too and even that was sucessful. nw i returned to eclipse Ide and tried to run the code
getting the below errors

Hello Jo
Did you mean eclipse? We think, we read “elipse” somewhere with your reply and hoping that you were referring to “eclipse”
Please check the following threads
http://www.coderanch.com/t/569263/vc/connect-jdk-oracle-express-edition
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/jdbc/index-091264.html
If it doesn’t help your situation, accept our apologies as we don’t deal with eclipse or jdeveloper. We are purely based on Oracle developer forms and reports and Oracle+ASP solutions.

Hi Yosif
You cannot install Oracle Database 9i over Windows 7. Solution is that simple as on date. Haven’t had any success with our mutliple attempts earlier. If we come across (utmost impossible) workarounds, we will post it with the blog

Hi
Post us your entire installation sequence. Starting with OS details, The version of the database you are trying to install etc. We already updated the blog stating there is almost no workaround solutions available to install 10.1.0.2 32bit database over Windows 7 64bit
Unfortunately we don’t have the 64bit media for 10.1.0.2 to conclude the lab testing right now.

I have installed oracle11gR2_client, toad for Oracle. It works.
Now I set virtual memory and changed the compatibility to Windows XP Service Pack 2 as it said in this article.
I started installation of Oracle developer suite10g, but in a step “Analyzing dependencies” I have an error:
” The Windows System Files Install has not been run on this machine.One or more operating system files currently in use need to be updated.You must exit this installation and use Disk1 to run a Secondary Windows system Files installation to update the operating system files and then restart the current installation process.”
OS: Windows 7 Corporate
In Version 32-bit or 64-bit We have to add 6.0,6.1,7.0. In install oraparam. Otherwise it’s should give error.. In advance version we don’t need to edit this?
Hello Oracle DBA
We didn’t quite understand your question. Are you asking whether you need to change the oraparam file for 11g and later versions to install on Windows 7? If yes, no, there is no need to change any parameters for 11g installations. We always tested the oracle databases against 64bit of Windows only.
Please elaborate your question, so that we may able to answer your more satisfactorily
I am also facing the sane problem. But I didn’t find out as you mention the path. So i change in :oraparam ;to add 7. So it is OK or it’s not working problem n getting me error?
Hello ora_dba
You should provide us the complete details, so that we can try to recommend you a proper solution.
Unfortunately your description about the problems with installation is not adequate enough for us.
regards,

As you mention on top. With example. I didn’t find “refhost.xml”
in Installer… I should add in “refhost.xml”? What you need to understand my problem? Which detail you want?
Hi ora_dba
list the following details
Oracle database version you are trying to install

Hi Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit. In both the version for installing oracle we have to add?
Hello dba Depends upon the database version. This post deals with 10g Rx, if you are using Oracle database 11g, the installation parameter doesn’t require the hacking explained with the post.

hi ,
i am using oracle 10g , developer suite 9i . its working fine in windows xp system. i have a problem in windows 7 32 bit system. i changed the jvm.dll file and after changing i could get the form seen, but am not able to type anything. suppose i type 1 in login screen (username) , it appears after some scrolling of mouse repeatedly. it looks like some thing is blocking in ie . i use IE 9. how do i resolve this issue.
thanks in advance
Hi Lakshinarayan
Please check this post

May be you will able to resolve your issues.
regards,
admin
thanks for the immediate reply. i think i haven’t posed the problem properly. i have not installed oracle10g and developer suite in windows 7, but only in the server (linux) and only access the forms and reports through url in windows 7. i could get connected to the forms , but i am not able to login since the keppad and mouse is not getting activated. i am not sure if any pop up blocker or any settings in IE is required to resolve this. Based on some forums instructions i did uncheck “enable third party browser extensions” in tools >> advanced option . yet its not working. pl let me know any solutions
Hi
So you are using application server to port the application basically. If you are on Oracle application server 10, then you must consider upgrading the java elements for the server, allowing JRE instead of jinitiator, which is supported by the IE9.
As a workaround solution, what we can suggest is, finding a copy of Firefox 3.5 (Specific) and installing it on Windows 7 in order to access the application properly. The jinitiator is not anymore supported by latest version browsers. Please make sure that you will not let Firefox to upgrade to latest version, once installed :)
regards,
admin
HI,
i did try with firefox 3.5 . it asks for plugins and it does not get installed. the cursor movement is giving the problem. i press a key and then scroll the mouse 2-3 times then the letter appears. i am not sure if i am explaining it properly. pl do help me out
Hello there
Just noticed your comment. If you installed jinitiator prior installing firefox 3.5, please uninstall jinitiator and re-install with advanced option. There you will able to select java for additional browsers.
Try and let us know whether it loads properly with firefox 3.5 (SPECIFIC)

admin
hi,
problem is resolved. actually the display adapters had to be uninstalled and down it to lower version. —- generic . thanks for the suggestion
Great, glad to see that you were able to overcome the issue :)

Hi Abdul We just managed to install the following on Windows 8 64bit (Should be same with windows 7)
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 – 64bit Production With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
and we were able to shutdown and restart the instance from
https://ora.xyz.com:1158/em (enterprise manager and as well as using “Administration assistant for windows”
regards,
I am not sure why i am not able to perform shutdown through OEM …… one thing i noticed on OEM window is after providing credentials and clinking ” and OK for shutdown …. it will keep on trying to the and at the status bar its showing that “Waiting for intel-PC” ….. intel-PC is my machines hostname.
Hi Abdul Do let us know the following
your PC has a static IP address? Did you “ignore” any of the warnings during the installation of 11gR2? Did you try SET ORACLE_SID= and SET ORACLE_UNQNAME= prior accessing the OEM?
Keep us informed :)
It was our first attempt with 11g R2, we will post a detailed installation instructions soon with our blog :)
regards, admin
I remember i did not noticed any errors during 11gR2 installation. Yes, i set ORACLE_SID but i have not set any ORACLE_UNQNAME prior OEM installation.

Hi, Thanks for you post..I am trying to install Oracle on Windows 7. I have followed similar steps that you have mentioned but while installing i am getting the following error.
OUI-25031:Some of the configuration assistants failed. It is strongly recommended that you retry the configuration assistants at this time. Not successfully running any “Recommended” assistants means your system will not be correctly configured.
1. Check the Details panel on the Configuration Assistant Screen to see the errors resulting in the failures.
2. Fix the errors causing these failures.
3. Select the failed assistants and click the ‘Retry’ button to retry them.
INFO: User Selected: Yes/OK
Can you pls let me know what is reason for this cause? do i have to set up anything before starting installation.
Thanks!

Hi,
am trying to install oracle 10g in win7.. you asked to change the coding in refhost.xml file.. but there is no such file in the oracle 10g.. how to find it out?? pls help me .. am in need of this s/w now… pls
Hello
Could you please post us the database version, the one you are trying to install?
Regards,
Admin
I followed above steps but while changing compatibility it is not showing me windows XP it has windows vista,sp1&sp2 as options please let me how to do installation in this case.
Hello Amit
You didn’t mention which product you are trying to install. The compatibility mode is for developer suite 10g. For Database you don’t need to change the compatibility. Please get back to us with details like what OS you are using, which Oracle product you were trying to install etc.
Regards,
Admin
Thnx
from wer could i download oracle 10g????
from oracle.com m not able to dwnload…
Unfortunately you will not able to download the 10g database from Oracle repositories. The lowest available version would be 11g. Well don’t get discouraged, there are many file sharing sites providing installation sources for 10g, just google around :) and all the best
regards,
Admin
Hi,
Two months ago I managed to install Oracle Developer suite 10g on Win7 32bit on my laptop.
I had to make some workarounds – e.g. compatibility changed to Win XP during installation, then installing JRE 6 instead of JRE 7 and replacing jvm.dll in JInitiator folder, to be able to run the forms,etc – in order to be able to run properly the forms in the Forms Runtime module.
But one friend of mine is trying now to run Forms 10g (in Forms Runtime module) on a Win7 64bit and he’s facing same problems that I had. Trying to apply same changes as I made, on Win7 64bit didn’t work entirely. He can open Forms builder and build/change a form, but he can’t run it in the Runtime module, for tests/debug.
Both of us are using IE 9 and JRE 6 (me JRE 6.21, he JRE 6.22 – but I suppose it doesn’t make any difference)
Could someone manage to install and run (in Runtime module, locally) the Forms 10g on a Win7 64bit configuration?
Any idea of what can be done is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mary
Hello Mary
The methods what you have adapted were not really required to run the forms (10g). I would suggest, your friend should uninstall the complete 10 developer suite, and do a fresh installation of the product. If he or she is using multiple Oracle products like legacy development tools (Forms 6i) and Oracle database in addition to the developer suite 10g, follow the below sequence
Install the Oracle database (Follow our posts)
Install the Oracle developer suite (Follow our posts)
Once the developer suite is installed, configure the forms instance to use JRE instead of Jinitiator. Please note, if your friend is going to use JRE 7, we have additional posts explain a “how to” which is not straight forward because of the changed JRE security elements
Further, while reporting an issue, please mention the specific errors/error numbers or text(s), so that we can assess the situation better.
We may able to further assist your friend, through a Teamviewer session. If intested, you can shoot a mail to w 7 b u g s at g m a i l d o t c o m

Hi Rajesh,
Thanks for your quick reply. Sorry that I didn’t mention the exact details of the problem.
Well, I couldn’t run Forms 10g on Win7 if I wouldn’t have made those changes. First, I couldn’t install Oracle Developer Suite 10g on Win7 without setting the compatibility with Win XP.
Then, after installation, I had to install JRE6 instead of JRE7 (which I had at that moment on the machine), I replaced the jvm.dll in JInitiator folder and then, what eventually make it work (precisely the Runtime module) was to comment this line in the formsweb.cfg:
baseHTMLjinitiator=basejini.htm
(it didn’t work to just switch to JRE instead of JInitiator)
The problem that I had (and my friend is facing the same problem now) was like this: trying to run locally (in Runtime module) a new very simple form (only one button on a simple canvas, no data fields, no complications), it would have open a completely blank IE window with a message like “Waiting for a response from 127.0.0.1…” in the bottom bar.
I has ODS 10gR2 on Win7 with JRE6.21, all 32bit versions. My friend has Win7 64bit version, ODS 10gR2 32bit and JRE6.22 (not sure if it’s 64bit or 32bit though, because he doesn’t have the setup file anymore and I don’t know how could I check that).
So, any suggestion?
Thanks,
Mary
Ask your friend to disable the Windows firewall & antivirus suite. Shutdown Oc4j and restart it and try to run the form. If it doesn’t help, please update.
Rajesh
Hi Rajesh,
Sorry for my late reply, it’s because the Easter holiday, I didn’t meet my friend this period and we couldn’t work on this subject.
We checked today, there is no firewall or antivirus active on his machine.
And I eventually managed to solve it somehow, but there is still a small problem.
First, what I’ve done:
1. I made the following changes in formsweb.cfg:
#baseHTMLjinitiator=basejini.htm
baseHTMLjinitiator=basejpi.htm
#jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0006-ABCDEFFEDCBA
jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-FFFF-ABCDEFFEDCBA
#jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_06
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6
2. I figured out that Win7 has actually to IE versions installed, one on 32bit and the other on 64bit. Of course that I didn’t pay attention until now that by default the Forms Builder uses the default IE version which is 64bit.
I changed the browser in the Forms Builder’s preferences, to use the 32bit version (C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\Iexplore.exe) instead of 64bit (C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Iexplore.exe), and now it works.
But anyway, has a very strange behavior: it only calls the servlet and run the form on the third try. I mean, you have to press the “Run form” button 3 times to actually start the servlet. First 2 times it opens a blank IE window with a strange URL, like this: “http://127.0.0.1:56068/pWXVteG1xndQlTaWQQWfhQk6Q7x1xuQ1qspIrWFR1NukID7P” (the port is different each time) and then only the third time it opens a IE window with the right URL (http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet).
I searched on net for some information about how actually works that “run form” module, what settings is using and how it builds that strange URL before calling the servlet, but I couldn’t find anything yet :( I’m not sure if is related with the OC4J instance or not, I have the feeling that it can be.
If you have any clue, maybe you can help me with this.
Anyway, this is a small problem, my friend can live with it, as long as he can eventually run the form locally for debug.
Thanks,
Mary
Hello Mary
Developer site 10g is 32bit, I believe what your friend has installed. You installed 32bit JRE, what is supported by both versions of IE
Now, your version of IE could be problematic also. Do a reset of the browser, uninstall and reinstall JRE, such kind of activities will be invoiced into figure out what is actually wrong.
Sometimes, you may even have to format and reinstall the complete stuffs to get rid of such annoyance :)
I tried to install oracle database 10 g version 10.1.0.2.0 in windows 7 home premium 32 bit.

I couldn’t find refhost.xml in the installer…. :(
Can u help me…please..
Hello there

You may install later versions following our post and instructions.
