On my PC i Already Installed Ora 10g. N My PC’s Speed was too slow. If i installed 11g On Same PC. So How much Speed will effected?
I have Windows 7 32-bit. Configuration. Thanks.
HI, just been trying this with Win64_11gRC2 and as soon as I get to step 6, if I select ‘Desktop’ the install just bombs out. No error, no message, no logs (from what I can see), just the window vanishes and that’s it. If I select Server it gets further, but then crashes out when I get to ‘Typical Installation’.
Are there any logs that you know of that might give me some info about this?
Make sure your OS and oracle installation package same architecture. (ie if your OS is 64-bit you should be using 64-bit Oracle 11g R2 )
I had this issue too. My OS is 64 bit and I downloaded the 64 bit Oracle 11g R2. I freezes when I select “Desktop” and hit next, never advancing to the next step. I’ve tried this several times with the same result. My system meets all the requirements.
