Oracle 11g Installation on Windows 7

Oracle 11g on Windows 7

I finally got around to installing Oracle 11g on Windows 7 Professional Edition, 64-bit. The only catch was that the Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7) installer validates only against Windows 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 or 6.0. Windows 7 is actually Windows Code Base 6.1, as seen in this screen shot after successful installation:

With that knowledge, first you should download the software from Oracle’s web site. You should unzip the contents into another directory. I used a C:\Stage directory. Inside that you’ll find the database directory, and it should look like this:

Click on the setup icon to launch the installer. You should then see the following screen shot. Enter a password for the SYS and SYSTEM users (if you’re coming to Oracle from a MySQL background they’re like the root user in MySQL). When you’ve entered a matching password in both fields, the Install button becomes active. Click the Install button to proceed.

In this screen, you’re prompted for your Email and MetaLink Password. If this is a test database (a throw away instance without any real data), you can uncheck the box for automatic security updates. You should enter a password even for test databases. Click the Next button to proceed.

You’ll only see this failure if you’re installing Oracle 11g (11.1.0.7) on a Windows 7 operating system, which is actually version 6.1 according to their code control numbering. You simply check the Checking operating system requirements … and Checking service pack requirements … to override the prerequisite checks. Another error that you may encounter is related to networking. It is a warning and occurs when you’re operating system uses DHCP to get its IP address. You really should configure the operating system with a static IP address. You can set a static IP address in Windows 7 with these instructions.

The checked boxes now say User Verified, which means we’re all really powerful, aren’t we?

Click the Next button to proceed.

At this point, you’ll get a Windows System Alert asking you to unblock the installer’s javaw.exe program. You must grant the access or forget about installing Oracle 11g. Click the Allow access button to proceed.

The dialog tells you what will be installed. Click the Install button to proceed.

This is the installation progress dialog. It’s running while the Oracle Installer lays down the operating system files for the database management system. It takes about 8 to 9 minutes, so stretch your legs if you want to take a break. When it’s 100% complete, click the Next button to continue.

After the installation, you’ll see the first of the Configuration Assistants, which is the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant (unfortunately, I didn’t capture that screen shot but I provided a temporary substitute until I re-install it). Provided everything happens successfully, it’ll move to the next step without your intervention.

You should receive another Windows Security Alert (aren’t we glad that I already disabled UAC). You need to click the Allow access button to let java.exe proceed with the installation.

This one is exactly where it belongs. It means you have approximately a 5 to 6 minute break while a sample database instance is cloned for you. The cloning process copies a sample compressed database from the installation staging area to your local operating system.

It will prompt you if you want to open any of the other scheme. You can skip this and do it later, or click Password Management to open those scheme and set passwords for them.

The last Configuration Assistant is the Oracle Configuration Manager Configuration. It’s a short process, it configures the cloned sample database against your installation names and passwords. When it completes it enables the Next button. Click the Next button to complete the installation.

You’ve finally reached almost the end of the installation. Click the Exit button on this dialog to proceed to the “are you sure” dialog box.

Confirm you meant it, by clicking the Yes button on the final dialog message below.

You’ve successfully installed Oracle 11g on Windows 7.

Thank you very much for saving me hundreds of hours that could have been wasted trying to install the Oracle 11g on Windows7. On my first laptop it installed without any problems. But when I got the HP laptop I had some problems. Just checking the checkbox it went smoothly. You are my Oracle 11g saver. Once again thank you very much.

Thanks, but I don’t know if that works properly with windows 7 ultimate or not. What release of Oracle 11g are you downloading?

I used Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition (11.1.0.7) for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (x64). Naturally, it was the 64-bit version of Windows 7. Are you encountering a specific problem?

Hey,

Thanks a lot for the guidance. I am planning to install the same on my Win-7-64 bit laptop. One question: What if we continue ignoring the warning due to DHCP? In other words, do I need to necessarily configure the OS with a Static IP? How would it affect my installation?

Thanks in advance.

Adi,

Like prior editions of the Windows port of Oracle Database 11g, you can ignore the DHCP warning provided you’ve taken steps to work around it. If you’ve not taken these steps with the hostname configuration, you may run into problems and certainly disable the Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM).

These are the added configuration steps for a DHCP install:

1. Before installing the product, change the C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file by adding this line beneath the default localhost line:
```
127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       mclaughlin11g mclaughlin11g.techtinker.com
```
2. Change the Windows hostname by navigating: Start > Control Panel > System (classic view) from Microsoft’s default assignment of a hostname.

3. Reboot the machine.

If you’ve already installed and are encountering problems connecting to SQL*Plus after performing the aforementioned steps, then do:

1. Change the %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\listener.ora file from an IP number to machine name.

2. Change the %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\tnsnames.ora file from an IP number to a machine name.

3. You can reconfigure your Oracle Enterprise Manager by following the steps in this older post.

4. Reboot the machine. You should also delete any Oracle files remaining after you’ve uninstalled the Oracle Programs. The reboot is the only way to reset the Windows Registry values for a new installation, and then sometimes conflicts exist between Oracle releases. A fresh Registry is always the safest route with an Oracle installation.

Hey there,

Thanks for the prompt response but I must confess I am not a techie so I did not understand a few things :

1. In the 1st step, what exactly do I need to do? What is similar to “mclaughlin11g mclaughlin11g.techtinker.com” on my computer? I located the hosts file but I am unable to figure out what line to add exactly.

2. In the 2nd step, I could not find the hostname. Where to find it and if I find it, what should I rename it as?

Those are the questions I have. I would be thankful if you can answer them.

Adi

7 Feb 10 at 11:35 pm
Adi,

Let’s work on question #2 first. You can open a command prompt by going to Start -> Run, then enter cmd in the dialog. This launches a command-line shell, it’s easiest because otherwise the navigation shifts with each release of Windows. In this command-line, type the following:
```
C:\> hostname
```
It’ll return your hostname. You don’t really have to change it but if you want to do so let me know and I’ll post something for you across a few versions of Windows next week. Unfortunatley, I’m in Fort Worth attending a course this week and can’t do that remotely for Windows 7.

Questions #2, just substitute the hostname value for mclaughlin11g. The rest would be your domain, which you can get away with setting to whatever you want or simply only enter your hostname. Most folks set it to the same as their place of business on a laptop. That way it works within the corporate network.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

i have a problem with oracle client…
I had Oracle 10 g which did not even show up in the Add or Remove programs..
I uninstalled it and installed 11g, that got successfully installed, now, when i open the Sql+, it throws a screen and asks for username and password…
In the password section nothing shows up, even if i enter something..
On hitting enter…

It gives a messages as ORA:1250 : TNS Protocol adaptor error..

Any suggestions?
Please help..

pankaj

12 Feb 10 at 12:17 am
It’s a guess but you probably uninstalled Oracle 10g before you installed Oracle 11g. There are a number of possibilities that may be causing this type of problem on a Windows platform. The easiest solution is to check your %PATH% variable first, like this:
```
C:\> echo %PATH%
C:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Core For Oracle\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim72;C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++
```
You can set the %PATH% and %TNS_ADMIN% environment variables like this:
```
C:\> set PATH=C:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\bin;%PATH%
C:\> set TNS_ADMIN=C:\app\Administrator\product\11.1.0\db_1\network\admin
```
If this fixes your problem, you’ve got the old path statements in your Windows master path. You can edit that through the Windows interface or write a script file to set these as noted above. If it doesn’t work, post the results of the echo statement and the contents of the tnsnames.ora file.

12 Feb 10 at 1:52 pm
hey pankaj!!!!! i had the same problem
here is the solution, go to services and check
whether that all the services of oracle are running.
you can set the start type of these services as manual so that you can start them manually so that they don’t eat up your resources

abhishek

15 Feb 10 at 1:24 pm
Abhishek,

Generally, a stopped listener service raises an ORA-12541 error, a paused listener service raises an ORA-12518 error; and a stopped Oracle Service raises an ORA-12514 error. It didn’t seem like that’s the problem because he’s encountering an ORA-12500 error. If you fixed an ORA-12500 by simply starting the service, I’d suspect you have too much running during startup and encountered a memory error. I’ve a list that continues to grow network troubleshooting here. If you’ve more information that you’d like to add, please drop me a note on that page. Thanks for sharing!!

Typically, an ORA-12500 occurs on the Windows platform in two places. First, when the service was created by somebody other than the Administrator, which can be a user with Administrator role but not in the Administrator group. Second, when the machine doesn’t have enough physical or virtual memory to spawn a new dedicated process.

Sometimes a prior install was done by the Administrator, and a subsequent install done by a user with less privilege. Typically, that means that the global path isn’t updated by the installer. That’s why I asked about the %PATH% and %TNS_ADMIN% variables. I probably should have just put this in with the original reply.

Hi all,

I have installed oracle11g on windows7 home edition.
After certifying oracle11g as secure, it took me oracle Enterprise connection manager
But in the Oracle connection manager page what username and password i should enter??

http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/11gr1_db/install/dbinst/windbinst2.htm#t1

This link tells me to enter
Enter system as the User Name and oracle as the Password, and then click Login.

But im not able to login. Please let me know what should i do now? Thanks

Hi all..,

I have installed oracle11g on windows7 home premium edition(32 bit).
I followed your steps .but when trying to connect to sqlPlus using command prompt i am getting following problem.

C:\Users\Asanka>sqlplus sys as sysdba

SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.6.0 – Production on Wed Mar 10 22:42:37 2010

Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.

Enter password:
ERROR:

Enter user-name:

Can anybody tell me what can i do to solve this…

Asanka

10 Mar 10 at 11:18 am
Some student machines work and others don’t. It may be an OEM issue with Home Premium. As a rule, figure Home Premium Edition doesn’t support the networking level that’s needed. It’s designed as a client software. You should get Professional or Ultimate Edition.

Hi,
I sucessfully installed 11g on an off-line laptop running Windows 7 Professional and was able to get the SQL*Plus running from the CMD prompt, as you demonstrated in the box at the top of your page. However, when I try to run the EM Manager (Database Control from the start menu), if keeps telling me the webpage is unavailable because I’m offline. I installed the personal edition of 11g for some developement work with .net on the laptop, and was hoping to be able to run the EM manager offline for creating some test databases to check my code against.

Any Ideas would be helpful.

Thanks

Jim,

It’s a guess based on what you’ve written. You may also want to check this earlier blog post of mine on reconfiguring Oracle EM. A couple other things that you may what I check:
- Are you using a static or dynamic IP port? If static, have you set the hostname in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file to the IP address? If dynamic, have you set the hostname in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file to 127.0.0.1, which is the loopback?
- Do the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora point to a physical IP address or the hostname found in your local hosts file? If an IP address, is it your current IP address?
- Lastly, have you checked by using the netca wizard whether you can tnsping your Oracle TNS Alias? The sample database by default installs an Oracle TNS Alias of orcl. If you did a software-only install, you should run the dbca utility to create a database of your choice.
Hope it helps but if you’ve more questions, let us know. Others are welcome to post a comment to help Jim too.

Hi all,

Sanjeev

12 Mar 10 at 1:01 am
Thanks for your information on getting EM Manager to work on Windows 7 Professional. I was able to follow your steps and make everything work, with some additional work on Windows Certificates. The security on Windows 7 can be a bit overwhelming sometimes, but there are usually solutions if you work hard enough at it.

Thanks again,

Hi,
I have got oracle 11g release 1.0.6.0 working fine on windows 7 64 bit home edition. Had to mess around with the tnsnames.ora file a bit to get a development connection.
For enterprise manager the port name and hostname were my computer name(the name I gave my windows installation) and port 1158 but to connect with sql developer and visual studio they were different. Hostname was localhost and port was 1521.
This is with the default database created during setup and all default settings. Not sure if this helps anyone. I’m a student just beginning to learn this stuff so don’t really know what I’m talking about.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with batch commands for starting and stopping oracle services. Now that I have it installed it tends to use a lot of resources all the time and I’m not sure what I can switch off safely when I’m not using it.

Ruairi

18 Mar 10 at 6:55 pm
You can use the following:
```
NET START service_name
NET STOP service_name
```
Generally, start the listener first, then database, and reverese it on shutdown. Why don’t you post the resolution that worked for you on Home Edition in the tnsnames.ora file.
maclochlainn

18 Mar 10 at 7:24 pm
Thanks maclochlainn.

I’ll post what I did to get a connection working. Hope it makes sense and wasn’t just a fluke. Originally I couldn’t connect at all with the first tnsnames.ora file. On my computer I went to C:/app/Ruairi(folder with my username, obviously different for other people)/product/11.1.0/db_1/NETWORK/ADMIN , here I found the tnsnames.ora I opened it with notepad and changed it to:
```
pluto =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = pluto)
    )
  )
```
It had a different port and hostname before. I used pluto as the alias and the database name. This is what I called the default database set up at install time. To get it working with visual studio I copied the file and the sqlnet.ora file in this folder. I then navigated to product/11.1.0/client_2/Network/Admin and I put a copy of the tnsnames.ora file as well as the sqlnet.ora file in there. clien_2 is the folder for my installation of ODP.Net 11.1.0.7.20

I read somewhere you’re supposed to put them in another folder too which in my case was C:/app/Ruairi/admin this folder contained a folder with my database name i.e. pluto. I don’t know which of these did the trick and I don’t fancy deleting them one by one and testing it out. It all works now and I’m happy. I hope someone finds this useful.
Thanks for all the great info. Places like this are making my life a lot easier.
Ruairi

18 Mar 10 at 8:44 pm
If you put them in a different place, they’ll be read if you launch from that directory but not another unless you set an environment variable. You can set a global system environment variable or write it in a batch file. From your information, a batch file for Windows would look like this to set a session environment variable:
```
SET TNS_ADMIN=C:\app\Ruairi\admin
```
If you’re writing .NET, you’ve probably put the location into Microsoft Developer Studio. Thanks for the update.
maclochlainn

18 Mar 10 at 8:56 pm

Ok, one last comment, just for those like me who need thing spelled out and those who don’t know how to batch program, I got those batch files working. The batch file to start all oracle 11g services in windows 7 that I know about. Using notepad you can just copy this:

cls
REM The REM at the start of a line is a comment
REM printed but otherwise 
REM ignored by the system
REM *******************************************
REM **Starting Oracle**
REM *******************************************
 
NET START OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener
NET START OracleServicePLUTO
NET START OracleDBConsolepluto
 
REM NET START OracleMTSRecoveryService
REM NET START OracleJobSchedulerPLUTO
REM I'm not starting these because I don't think I set them up at install
REM So they may cause problems. Not sure though, but you may need them
 
NET START OracleVssWriterPLUTO
cls
REM Function complete!

Pluto is my db name, obviously replace every instance of pluto with your own database name and save the file as a .bat file. I called mine startOra.bat.

To stop all oracle services(that I know about):

REM *******************************************
REM **Stopping Oracle**
REM *******************************************
 
NET STOP OracleVssWriterPLUTO
NET STOP OracleDBConsolepluto
 
NET STOP OracleMTSRecoveryService
NET STOP OracleJobSchedulerPLUTO
REM Now I do not see the harm in stopping them just in-case, and to see what happens.
 
NET STOP OracleServicePLUTO
NET STOP OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener
cls
REM Function complete!

I saved this as stopOra.bat. Now if you double click on the batch file pretty much nothing will happen. In windows 7 you must right click on the batch file and select run as administrator to allow stopping of these services. Even if you are logged in as an administrator you don’t have access. I know most people probably think this is hardly worth posting but I know I would have found it really useful a few hours ago.

I never thought to ask this earlier but how do you stop oracle services from starting automatically at startup?

Ruairi, that wouldn’t fit nicely in a comment. I put a quick little blog entry together for you.

As to what’s worth posting, I’d venture to say a lot of people will be happy you posted it. There’s a lot more that could be done in a script, and I’ll put it in my queue for an article. Unfortunately, I probably won’t get to it until June. I’ve got to prepare two 2.5 hour presentations for the Utah Oracle User’s Group in May. If you don’t see it in June, drop me a note through the contact page.

Oracle typically only configures the SYS and SYSTEM user accounts. The SYSTEM user can be accessed by the following command:
```

Hi
I have followed the entire step as well configuring my DHCP, by install the Microsoft loop back adapter to have my IP static, and adding the values in my host file.
Everything is great the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant Succeeded, but when it come to the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, it does not get pass that, it stuck on the “Creating and Starting Oracle instance” and I have tried multiple time, and it always stuck at 45%.
When I stop the process, Oracle seems to be installed but I don’t have the sample database to play with.
I am using Window 7 Ultimate edition, but as well it’s on virtual machine, would anyone know what is going wrong why isn’t finishing the install?

Chris

7 Jun 10 at 1:30 am
I wish there was only one place to start but this is Windows. Here’s a couple things that I’d try to rule out:
- Are you running the Database Configuration Assistant as the sole Administrator, or an account with Administrator privileges?
- You chose to install only the software, or is this failing while trying to create the sample orcl instance?
- Have you checked your Windows Registry to see if you have an entry that is using the same service for the instance name?
- Have you tried creating the instance with an ordinary script file?
Just post another comment with the answers, please. I’ll try to help you from there.
maclochlainn

7 Jun 10 at 9:35 pm
Hi

Well it worked; I am so happy thank you for the help maclochlainn, and excellent post by the way.

The issue was that I was running an account with Administrator privileges. I enabled my Administrator and run it from there, it was smooth and by the way it was failing at the sample orcl instance.

The only issue is my explorer is complaining about the certificate of my Enterprise Manager Database Control URL, any thoughts?

The Complaint is:

“The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.
Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server. “
Then click to close web page or continue.

**Info for every one with windows 7 ultimate, cause it took me three days till I found this post!!

Download Micrsoft Windows Server 2008 11.1.0.7.0 as maclochlainn has stated not 11.1.0.6.0 because it won’t work even with logging in as admin, because I had 11.1.0.6.0 in the starting and didn’t work when I log in as admin.

Then I did it with version 11.1.0.7.0 and worked.

Then follow maclochainn’s post and once again do it in admin login when installing not with admin privileges.

Thanks once again maclochlainn.

Chris

8 Jun 10 at 12:51 am
Glad it helped. I’ve found that Oracle doesn’t keep certificates current on all releases. You just have to accept the obsolete or unregistered certificates with caution, as covered in this post on OEM.

Generally, Oracle doesn’t install on the Home version of the Windows OS. The home version is missing some networking components required by the server. I’d recommend you use Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate.

Hi
I am planning to install Oracle 11g on my Laptop with Home edition of Windows7. From the reply above, you said that it will not work with Home edition. Do you mean there is no way that I can install Oracle with out Professional or Ultimate??

My understanding is that it won’t work. However, I’ve never tried to do it. Quite a few have reported that it doesn’t work. Maybe somebody who’s got that to work may post a work around here.

Hi

I have windows 7 home premium edition -64 bit. What is the procedure to install oracle 11g express edition and from where I can find files to download oracle 11g?

Windows 7 Home Premium follows in the shoes of its predecessors. As such, it doesn’t have a full networking stack, like Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate. Installing Oracle on a Home Premium Edition will leave you with a partial solution.

As to the Oracle 11g XE, that’s not released. Do you mean APEX 4.0 running on Oracle 10g XE? While Andy Mendelsohn said there would be an Oracle 11g XE to the NY Times in 2008, he said it would be based on the terminal release. Perhaps we’re still waiting for that … as indicated by his comments to Info World last year.

Whether it’s Oracle 10g XE, 10g, or 11g, they all rely on the complete networking stack. To the best of my knowledge, it’s not delivered in any Home Edition of Windows.
