Oracle 9i Installation Problems with JREW.EXE
I am trying to install the enterprise edition of Oracle 9i on my system that I downloaded from the Oracle website. The installation goes pretty well up till the very end when its installing optional applications:
Oracle Net Configuration Assistant
Oracle Database Configuration Assistant
Agent Configuration Assistant
I get the following error:
JREW.EXE has generated errors and will be closed by windows.
I can finish the installation without installing these programs. However, I get that same JREW.EXE error whenever I try to open any of the Oracle Applications. IE, Enterprise Manager... the only thing that opens is SQL Plus.
Can someone please tell me why this is happening and how I can get this fixed?
Thanks!

follow rjbryla's clean approach to deinstall eveyrthing, then do a fresh install of oracle9i.

I have reinstalled it twice.
what's your OS?
ASKER
Windows 2000
I have never had problem with windows 2000, I am saying that I have installed numerous times of oracle8i, 9i.
have your followed rjbryla's approach? I mean you wiped out all the JREs and its presence in path classpath compeletely.
1. do a clean deinstall of oracle and JREs.
A. use oracle universal installer to remove the installed oracle.
B. clean the windows registry (do a search and delete , remove all oracle related entries).
but most pertinent ones are HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
C. delete all the JREs
go to control panel --->add /remove programs -->to remove all the JREs or JDKs
to make sure that you don't have JDK or JREs running, at the C:\> type in JAVA , you should not get any response.
D. then install Oracle9i again.

I tried all that... as you said. It still does the same thing. I am trying to install it on another machine.
ASKER
Grrr.... installation locked up on the other machine and when I went to deinstall it, it said that there is nothing to uninstall and I cannot stop this omtsreco.exe service which is preventing me from deleting the oracle directory to start over. So frustrating...
ASKER
I got the same error again with the JREW.exe when I installed it on the second computer as well... what could be causing this?? o.O
Are you trying to install Oracle on a P4 processor machine ? If yes so you may have some problems with the java. YOu can go to http://java.sun.com/products/archive/index.html to download JDK/JRE 1.1.8_008 for Windows then install the new JDK/JRE. After installation copy the ..\bin\symcjit.dll and ..\bin\jvm.dll to the $ORACLE _HOME\JRE11\bin\ directory.
Hope this works

Please check your display settings. You need to set the colors to 256
colors, ( >=256 colors and <=65535 colors are recommended)as these are the minimum requirements for Java applications.

Or simply remove the symcjit.dll file

Now when I try to go into setup, it won't even open the setup and says
"Error loading the Java Virtual Machine" Setup Closing.

Just installed the 1.1.8 of the JRE and copied it over to the directory as someone stated before.

Another thing I would like to pay attention this time, Roxanne.
You know there is a such thing called Installation.log file everytime you install oracle...
so this time when you try and when the oracle universal installer starts, pay attention to where the Log files goes....
if you did not change the location of it, it should be in:
c:\program files\oracle\inventory\log
post the last section where the JREW error occurs up here so that I can help you...

I am going to accept SeaZodiac's response. While it didn't work on my system, I'm fairly sure it would work on a normal system. My system won't let me install Oracle for some reason...
Most likely you have JRE conflicts.
