Installing Oracle DB and Tools

One of the interesting install problems that I have noted about installing Oracle's database and tools, such as OTN, is that the setup.exe program doesn't seem to do anything.  I have found that you typically have to go into the install directory and run the setup program there for anything good to happen.

  • I also found that strange. Then for some reason the "optional" comopnents failed to install. But it is not a bad add-in for the price.

  • What version of the Oracle install? I've had to wrestle with installing the Oracle client versions 7, 8 and 9 and know that there are quite a number of bugs that have a fixes. Like the version 2 of the Oracle installer that ships with 8i, doesn't crashes. You need to update the installer to a new version first
