I want to install oracle 8i in windows 7, how i do this?

You can't install that Oracle version directly on a Windows 7 machine, but you should be able to install it on XP Mode.
Oracle 8.1 is not supported on Windows 7. It is never intended to be used on Windows 7. You have to look at virtualisation (Virtual Box, Virtual Pc, WMware), to get Oracle 8i installed on Win XP, 2000, 98.

actually there is no version released yet for windows 7

you can try windows 2008 .

But how can,please give me a solution.....

I am sorry to say but oracle 8i is not compatible with windows 7. If you would like this to run you would be needing a downgrade to xp. But if you insist on using windows 7 what you could do is install a virtualization software like virtualbox and install windows xp on it and the software you need. So, it would be like running windows xp in windows 7.

Hi,

Oracle 8i is never intented to be used on Windows 7. Oracle will not support it. I think you have to look at virtualisation (Virtual Box, Virtual Pc, WMware), to get Oracle 8i installed on Win XP (or Win 2000/98).

Pls rank me as possible have nice day

You wont be a ble to install Oracle 8i to Vista computer ,because that Oracle version is not supported on that Vista OS (only 10g onwards) will work with Vista computers.

Hope that helps........

What exactly motherboard & processor you are usin? For some latest mother boards Oracle8i will not install and terminates why because the interface of the oracle was devloped by developed by using swing (java) so some app's wont start. This might be the cause. So, what you have to do is copy Oracle8i CD to HDD and search for SYMJCIT.DLL and rename it to SYMJCIT.OLD and install from the dump.

If it wont work then reinstall the system once.

This might be helpfull

Thank you

That is the problem with XP...Those softwares which were workin is not supported by XP...(different platform)...or else go for the software developer and get the XP version
