Installing Oracle 11g on Windows Operating System

Last semester we have a DBMS lab in our course. So we need to install oracle software to work with sqlplus. Installing oracle is easy, but it is not the same as installing other application software. If  something went wrong in installing oracle software, then you cannot easily re-install the same oracle software again without formatting. But you can uninstall oracle completely and re-install fresh copy of oracle software without formatting your PC.

In this post I’m going to install oracle 11g on windows 7 64bit PC. The same procedure you can follow to install on other windows OS like XP, Vista 32/64bit PC.

Installing Oracle 11g on Windows 7:

 

1.In Oracle 11g folder click on the setup icon. After that you will see the window like as show below. In Installation Type: choose Enterprise Edition (2.9GB). In   Database Password: and Confirm Password: field. Fill those field with tiger and click Install button.

2. In the next step you will see window like below. In this window when you click Next button will get some error like

“Some required prerequisite checks have failed. Please make sure the system meets all the requirements before install can proceed.”

3. To fix that error just check the first two options i.e.,

Checking physical memory requirements…

Checking Network Configuration requirements..

check both the options and then click Next button to continue installation of Oracle 11g

 

Some required prerequisite checks have failed. Please make sure the system meets all the requirements before install can proceed.

4. It will ask permission like this click “Allow access” button to allow it

    I got that setup file from my college so I didn’t downloaded that from Oracle site. I guess this setup will work fine.

    Please note: I never tried that file so download at your own risk.
