Oracle 11g DB Install

No luck Bawer,

Still I go tthe same set of errors.

There are some common fiiles in both the Disk1 and 2 Zip files and I have chosen "Yes to all" when requested to overrite

Pls let me know how to go abt this.

Thanks,
Rishi

how many bytes is the zip files?

I'm wondering if you got the whole zipfile downloaded/transfered correctly.

You should not run the system with missing files, so yes a reinstall are required.

Hi Rindbaek,

I have downloaded the following files couple of times from Oracle DB Download site and tried to install.


1) win32_11gR2_database_1of2.zip (1.51GB)
2) win32_11gR2_database_2of2.zip (602.7 MB)

 I extracted both the zip files into the single folder as Bawer suggested. But it didn't work.

Alternatively I have downloaded V20605-01_1of2.zip (1.51GB) from E-Delivery site which is equivalent to Disk 1 above and tried which also didn't work.

Thanks
Rishi

i am working both on windows and solaris, the criteria i mentioned should work 100% percent..if u have any other machine, just start installation there and see if error pops up...

H Bawer,

I am not sure why its not working for me as you already told that its working for you on both Win & Solaris.

Can you pls provide me any Doc with steps that you have used for install so that I can figure out where I am missing

Thanks,
Rishi

Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)
        Download       win32_11gR2_database_1of2.zip (1,625,721,289 bytes)
        Download       win32_11gR2_database_2of2.zip (631,934,821 bytes)
        
        Directions
                1. All files are in the .zip format. There is an unzip utility here if you need one.
                2. Download and unzip both files to the same directory.
                3. Installation guides and general Oracle Database 11g documentation are here.
                4. Review the certification matrix for this product here.

But as Rindbaek as indicated, it might be better to re-install.

Since you've already tried unzipping in the same place but failed, you can probably unzip the second ZIP file to a different location and then manually merge it with the folders created by ZIP file 1. Because, it can be possible that the UNZIP utility you are using is not 'Merging' with existing directories, instead is 'Replacing' which can be one of the issue.

As far as understand, this is a problem while the second ZIP file is uncompressed. So just make sure your 'database' directory also contains all the files from the second ZIP file.

incase of any issue with unzip, better use winrar

I have solved this issue by copying the war and ear files reported by the installer into a " components" directory of the Installable and re-ran the installer.

Thanks,

I was makig same error.  When I read instructions, I interpreted incorrectly.  When unzipping to same dir, I thought that the two unzipped dirs should have been at same level.  For example, c:\download\zip_1_of_2 and c:\download\zip_2_of_2.

It is easy enough to unzip both files to common dir.  You will be asked to "merge".  Click "yes" and voila.

Great read.  I was losing my mind thinking Oracle was putting crap out.  I usually work on UNIX.
