Windows 7 with 11g ODBC install confusion...

Hi all

OK, I'm just a little confused. All I have to do is get ODBC running under Windows 7. I thought it would be easy, but apparently not. I am trying to install Oracle 11 g 64 bit on a new Windows 7 computer. It is to set up a system of 'typical' end user and is NOT for development.

First of all, I went to the download page of 11g (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win64soft-094461.html) and downloaded the client software (win64_11gR2_client.zip). I unpacked and installed. I was able to run NetAdmin and edit the TNSNAMES.ora file. When I ran the MS ODBC Manager - however, there is no Oracle driver options. I tried with the InstantClient Runtime options and.

So I thought that I had missed something. I ran uninstall it and then did a system restore. I read the docs in the installation and here on the forum and I saw references to the instant client installs.

He told me to download instant instant basis and ODBC Client Packs on the Oracle Technology Network Instant Client page, I went to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/winx64soft-089540.html and downloaded the instant client (instantclient-basic-win-x86-64-11.2.0.1.0.zip) and (instantclient-odbc-win-x86-64-11.2.0.1.0.zip) ODBC module

I unzipped the base first customer by the odbc documentation. No docs, just a readme with no details. And nothing named install. I saw two (adrci.exe and genezi.exe) .exe files, but netiher is a clear installation package. There wasn't a .msi package. So, by reading the documentation, I tried to determine if "deployed" meant to unpacked or installed. So I unzipped the instant ODBC files in the instantclient_11_2 folder and run the ODBC_install. There was no reference to NETADMIN in the startfolder, but there was a shortcut ODBC - that I fell. He showed the ODBC drivers, but when I'm on the name of the TNS Service and clicked on the 'down' arrow, were all that I saw what seemed like garbage entries. There was no TNSNAMES.ora file is located.

OK, so now I reinstalled the initial download and then tried to add the ODBC stuff... No luck.
I ran the Universal Installer and tried to get it to load the ODBC stuff - but there is no .xml file (which is what he apparently wants) to load. And when I tried to install ODBC moment, the Universal Installer doesn't seem still to see ODBC stuff...

I install the first and be able to modify the TNSNAMES. ORA. Or install the second and see an ODBC driver - but not set up because I can't refer to a TNSNAMES.ora file. Or do the two and just frustrated because the two install IGNORES the other...

Oh, if I run the NetAdmin and create an entry in TNSNAMES file - when I test it, it can connect to the server. But I can't get the ODBC Oracle driver to find this file...

IAC, do I need to download (just the oracle 11g minimum) to win an end user 7 x 64 computer so that I can configure TNSNAMES.ora settings and configure the ODBC connection?

In any case, I'm sure there is an easy answer to this. And I'd be happy to mark your reply as an answer so that you get the credit you deserve for helping me.

And it would be even nicer if we press a little harder on ODBC in the docs that come with both the standard client and installs the instant client.

Thank you

Hello

The solution to almost "I do not see the odbc driver in the odbc administrator" always comes down to either
(a) the driver is not installed, install the odbc driver.
or
(b) ensure that you are looking in the right odbc (32 bit vs 64 bit) admin.
There are other cases... install has not happened as administrator, so yes could not update registry, theres a "@" in the list of drivers, etc., but those who are nowhere near as common.
It seems that if you're looking in the right admin, but has not installed the driver.

The solution to the tnsnames question is to
(a) create the tnsnames in the House used in the directory & % OH%\network\admin. If the file does not exist, create it. If the directory does not exist, create it. It is "well-known" location, the customer will check automatically.
Or
(b) create an TNS_ADMIN environment variable that points to the folder you want to .ora files (that is to say, tnsnames, sqlnet, etc.) to get picked up from.

See you soon,.

  • Cannot find the key of windows 8, with media Center installed

    Complicated. I downloaded and installed Windows 8 Pro (Windows 7 upgrades) on several machines at home and took the Pack of Media Center that would free. For one of these facilities, I lost the emails with the product key of Windows 8 and library pack. Now the computer has problems and I want to reinstall Windows. When I try to do it via the settings, it says that he has given missing and I have to put in the backup media. I created this earlier, but it is not recognized by the computer. So I think the best way is to download Windows 8 on the Internet and enter the key again.

    I have tried various key finders (Belarc, Nirsoft) and that they find a key, but it seems that it is only the Media Centre Pack button. I emailed Support and they said that I need the product key of Windows 8 original.

    Anyone with the library could find their Windows product key?

  • Problem after 10g to the conversion of 11g with access ODBC application connection.

    We have recently updated one of our databases Oracle 10.2.0.4 on 11.2.0.4.0.  We used Data Pump export of database 10g and the new database 11g Data Pump import.  Everything went well.  We have several users who use an Access database with an ODBC connection to our Oracle database.  We installed 11g on their PC client and install the tnsnames file to point to the new database 11g.  We have a configuration read only account that everyone uses to connect to the Oracle11g database through the Access application.  We have a user who gets an error, even if this computer has been installed just like everyone elses.  She becomes an odbc error, that the account is locked.  I had the read-only account on our database 10g locked, so everyone would be forced to use the 11g database, because we could not completely stop the 10g database.  We have searched the c:\ drive and you can find 1 tnsnames file and it is directed to the new database 11g.  However when we unlock the account read-only on the 10g database, access works very well.  It is as if she is always directed to the 10g database, but we cannot find any link to it.  This user can also connect another pc that the ODBC connection to server 11g works with the access application and it does not work with them connected.  Any help would be appreciated!

    Our resolution is a slight reorganization of elements of Oracle in the Environment Variable Path in system settings Desktop/Properties/Advanced to ensure that the proper path containing the precise tnsnames.ora file was represented was just what he needed.

  • Installed APEX with 11g?

    I installed the Oracle 11 g server and I've seen the apex directory. But how APEX? I guess it was installed
    with the database option, I selected.
    I go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/but it didn't work,
    I installed everything locally on windows 7.

    Published by: GabyPR on July 2, 2011 05:21

    Hello

    APEX can be installed with 11g, but it can be disabled during installation.
    You can check if you can find a database user called APEX_PUBLIC_USER in your database.
    In any case, 11g releases do not contain the latest version of the APEX, but only that APEX which has been producing when the version of the main database has been released, e.g. 3.2 with Database 11g R2.
    So, if you want to use APEX 4, I recommend if you plan to start with a new instance of the APEX, you need to update anyway.
    Installation of APEX is not so difficult, if you follow the complete Setup Guide. Section [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/install.40/e15513/otn_install.htm#CBHBCBBJ] download from OTN and the configuration of the PL/SQL gateway shipped described the facility that would result in an instance similar to the one installed with 11g APEX.

  • Clean install Windows 7 with UEFI in dv6-7215nr

    Hi, I would like to do a clean install of my HP dv6-7215nr Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x 64 envy laptop.

    To this end, I have 3 questions to solve some installation issues.

    1. What are the steps to clean install Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise intact in UEFI mode?

    I tried to install Win 7 after the pre-requisites following:

    (a) not partitioned 200 GB free space on the disk (only 1 physical disk)

    (b) already installed Windows 8 files with UEFI

    (c) UEFI enabled

    (d) heritage disabled startup

    (e) secure boot disabled

    When I Boot in UEFI of CD/DVD, I can't switch to the Windows startup screen, it just hangs. What I am doing wrong? Is there any other prerequisites that I don't know?

    I tried to install UEFI with Legacy enabled Boot, and I installed win7 but I can't disable Legacy new Boot because Win7 boot and I want only the UEFI Boot and need for inheritance disabled.

    2. where can I download drivers for Windows 7 for my laptop?

    I found this topic:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/HP-envy-DV6-7210ei-downgrade-fr...

    They point to these drivers

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us & dlc = in & lc = in & product = 5273735 & task = &

    I think I could use these drivers, but I need just in case where. I guess they should work as the product names are roughly similar (with mine).

    3. is it possible to Secure Boot with Windows 7 SP1?

    I have no research on this so far.

    Thanks for the help that someone in the community can give to me, it is not important all the problems that I have set in I can still do research on questions 2 and 3 and help others with my research if I can do it before a response. Any info you can give me will be too great.

    (1) ' secure Boot' must be DISABLED and 'Legacy Support' must be ENABLED to install Windows 7 and many other older operating systems. The bootable media must support UEFI boot to install on a GPT-partitioned drive.

    You let people with DISABILITIES 'Secure Boot' (and 'Legacy Support' ENABLED) once you have installed Windows 7. Changing these options causes Windows 7 to start is no longer.

    (2) the Windows 7 drivers on the CTO Entertainment Notebook PC drivers HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 page you referenced, will work on your computer.

    (3) it is not possible to install or use Windows 7 with "Secure Boot" ACTIVE.

    WARNING *.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP cannot provide the drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    You will need to DISABLE 'Secure Boot' and ENABLE 'Legacy Support' in the 'Configuration of the BIOS start-up secured' on the page parameters below, until you try to install Windows 7.

    In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or "UEFI - USB Flash drive" options in the boot menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive", "UEFI - USB Flash drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

    If you have missing or unknown devices after installing the drivers, please post to the "Hardware ID" Device Manager (just the text string will do) to these devices as shown in the example below.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    By design, the game is not compatible with windows7.
     
    You can also check with the manufacturer of game for any version upgrade of this game, which could be compatible with windows7.

    Yes, if you have the dual operating system on your computer, you can play and record games on xp, start the computer in Xp and you can play the game.

    I also invite you to visit this link to learn more about running the old programs/games in xp or vista compatibility mode.

    Team blog product Microsoft Update: Windows Update and restarting automatic http://blogs.technet.com/mu/archive/2008/10/02/windows-update-and-automatic-reboots.aspx>

    Change how Windows installs or informs you about updateshttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Change-how-Windows-installs-or-notifies-you-about-updates>

    If you select the download updates but let me choose... option, no update will install without your approval. Suppose an update will require a reboot and does not approve the installation of an update until & unless you are ready to restart.

    You can change the setting "notify only". Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded updates are installed commandeLorsque, which they are installed.

    What are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?

    While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live [as well as Silverlight & Microsoft Security Essentials]. Update automatic is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to automatically download and install updates using each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC.

    If you disable Microsoft Update, your default update source is "reversed" update of Windows, but it does NOT neutralize automatic updates.

  • Windows XP SP3 will not install and repeatedly keep trying with Windows Update

    I've had two months of problems with Windows 7 and had to build a Windows XP machine. I installed Windows XP Pro SP2 on the clean machine and tried to install SP3 I had downloaded and put it on a CD. Installation backed up the existing files and install the new files. The installer said he was changing the registry. After that the installer said that there was an error, a file is not found. Then uninstalled and restored the old files. Keeps Windows Update downloaded a stream of updates (as you would expect with a clean install), but at the end of installation of the batch that is being updated is in SP3 update running. Whenever the SP3 update is executed, it gets to the same point, fails because it cannot find a file and UN-installs itself again. The indices of anyone? It's a real Microsoft Windows XP Pro out of the box, not an OEM.

    Hi guenoun,.

    The message I received installation of SP3 was "System cannot find the file requested" with no error code. As I was installing a SP3 at the start of a CDROM created from the uploaded image of CDROM I thought it was unlikely that the CDROM was corrupt or missing files. So, I went in Mode safe mode and use the account administrator. SP3 installed then OK (it took more time than installing Windows XP). I then checked the updates, and although Windows Update has been updated about 10 new updates flooded down. So problem solved. It must have been one of these security issues where be a user with administrative privalges was not enough.

    Kind regards

  • How to install Windows XP Home SP2 to a Dell 755 Tower comes with Vista Business installed?

    OK guys,

    I aquried a used Dell 755 minitower that had wiped HARD drive, but originally shipped with Vista Business installed o/s. This computer still had the sticker code product key for Vista Business on the computer.

    I have a Windows XP Home SP2 OEM disc with a product code and tried to install it on this computer, but I get an protection windows with a blue screen error whenever I tried.

    I have a Vista Home OEM disk basic with its own key code product. The computer has allowed me to install this operating system, but not would allow me to use its product key code, but would allow me to use the old Vista Business key product code that was on the computer and complete the installation. Everything was fine, but I just don't like Vista o/s and I would like to install my OEM Windows XP Home SP2 to this computer and high grade it to SP3.

    In dealing with this computer, I discovered it would allow me to load Windows XP Pro just find, but I was using a copy borrowed this o/s and had to uninstall if I could return it to its owner. I also borrowed a copy of Windows 7 OEM I installed in this machine and it works just fine, but I had to uninstall it to return to its owner.

    I still want to know why I can't install Windows XP Home Edition for this machine.  Does anyone have information about this situation or a way to solve it?

    Btk (billy the kid)

    Looks like the drive you borrowed your friend had a SATA driver integrated into it.  What you can do, is go into the BIOS and change the AHCI to IDE mode.  This should allow you to install XP.  Or you could use a floppy disk and install the driver by pressing f6 during installation.

    Don't forget: OEM keys are related to the original motherboard enabled on.
