So, are you eager to know whether you WILL able to install Oracle 10g database on Windows 8? We think the answer should be YES!
Or we are already running Oracle 10g (10.0.2.3 ENT Edition) on Windows 8
The hack we used is the same (Check it here), as for Windows 7 Oracle installation. Just added a new block for Windows 8
Enjoy
for Windows7bugs

not working.. still got the incompatible message :(
Hello Omar
Please provide us the OS architecture, database version you were trying to install so that we can try to figure out some workable solutions for you.
Please note, 10.1.0.x version(s) cannot be installed on Windows 7 and Windows 8, regardless which architecture you are using. Our numerous lab tests were utter failure, with Oracle.exe causing KERNEL crashes.

Hello mansoor

Sent from my Windows Phone ________________________________
i used the same procedure adding windows7 and 8 versions in xml file ‘refhost.xml’ and also added versions in ‘oraparam.ini’
I was installing client so i changed in both database and client setups..
I tried a previous version of oracle 10.1.0.2 and it worked fine…created an ODBC also in win 8
Thanks will try to check the software tomorrow and give you the update..
Interesting, you managed to install 10.1.x.x on Windows 8? Please share the methods with us. We never managed the same from our labs!

I was able to successfully install oracle 10g (10.2.0) on windows 8. However, I cannot log into SQLPLUS as SYSDBA.
I’m guessing this has to do with microsoft changing how user logins work with them being a microsoft account. I added myself to the ora_dba group, but still no luck.
My error is ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
Hi there,
Try changing the authentication type with “SQLNET.ora” file
By default the authentication will be NTS, as below
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
change the same to
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)
Try it and let us know whether you were able to connect.

i can’t edit SQLNET.ora . please advice why i can’t activated user scott for traine. please advice to my email neo_new88@yahoo.co.id
Hello Prastiyan
Sorry, we cannot extend our support to your email address. However, please try the following.
Stop all oracle services
Right click on the folder where you have installed Oracle database and take the full rights or ownership
If you cannot edit sqlnet.ora, that means you don’t have write access to that file, inherited from the folder rights
Once you edit sqlnet.ora, restart the Oracle services and try to activate the user scott first, like
>conn system/password@connectionstring/servicename;
>alter user scott identified by password
>account unlock;
Try and let us know the status.

my system became very slow after installing oracle 11g on windows 8….how can i get back the original speed
These few tricks should help you
Make sure your computer/laptop has minimum 4GB memory
Disable Automatic starting for Oracle Database Service from services.msc panel (This will significantly reduce the time booting)
Disable DB Console completely, you don’t need it as a student or developer
Download and install Oracle SQL developer (it can do most of the stuff done by DB Console)
Try and post your experience.

What is the correct way to use the uninstaller? I dont have the option to uninstall using the Oracle universal installer. I have downloaded the deinstall utility but am not sure how to use it. I did try to execute the desintaller.bat file but it did not spawn any response.
