A little change to be made when installing Oracle Client 10g version of the Windows 7 platform

New laptops, Windows 7 Pro, need to install Oracle Client and colleagues give a 10g version. Prompts during installation:

"Checking operating system requirements ... Required result: One of the 5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0 actual results: 6.1 check complete.

The overall result of this check is: Failure <<<< problem: Oracle Database 10g is not certified in the current operating system.

This question has a lot of post reply on the net, in fact very simple, orace software will rely on Refhost.xml the type of operating system defined in this file to identify. 10g version This file has a total of two, the location is:/stage/prereq/client and/stage/prereq/client_prereqs/client, you can see the definition of different types of operating systems, 10g appeared without Windows 7, so the original version did not define this type of operating system configuration, only need to manually join the Windows 7 configuration, so that Oracle installation can be aware of this operating system type.
