How to successfully install the Oracle database in Windows 7

With the official release of Microsoft's next-generation operating system Windows 7, more and more friends are using Windows 7. Many people have encountered some problems when installing oracle in Windows 7, some even raised the question that "Windows 7 cannot install oracle. Today, I will share with you how to successfully install the Oracle database in Windows 7.

The author found that Oracle cannot be successfully installed in Windows 7 because it cannot pass the prerequisite check of the Oracle Installation program, "the client does not support Windows 7 operating system with version 6.1" or "the Microsoft loopback adapter is not configured as the primary network adapter of the system". In either case, I will answer them one by one.

1. The client does not support Windows 7 with version 6.1

The Oracle client of any current version cannot be installed normally on Windows 7 of any version, mainly because the operating system version in the prerequisites for Oracle installation is not met, however, you can modify the refhost in the Oracle Installation source file. xml configuration file.

First, go to the Oracle official website to download the 32-bit or 64-bit Oracle Installation Package for Microsoft Windows. For more information about Oracle download, see the author's article "experience on installing Oracle 11g". Find refhost In the extracted folder. open the refhost. in the xml configuration file, find the <certified_systems> node, add the following content to the end of the node, and save it:

 

<! -- Microsoft Windows 7 -->

<Operating_system>

<Version value = "6.1"/>

</Operating_system>

 

2. Microsoft loopback adapter is not configured as the system's primary network adapter

 

1. Open the control panel and click "hardware and sound;

2. In the devices and printers group, click the Device Manager option;

3. Right-click the first node of the Device Manager (that is, the computer name of the computer) and select "add obsolete hardware" to open the "add Hardware" Wizard;

4. Select "Next" to continue;

5. manually select the hardware to add;

6. Select the hardware type to be installed: network adapter;

7. select Microsoft as the vendor on the left side of the network adapter panel, and the related adapter types are listed on the right side. select Microsoft loopback adapter (Microsoft loop adapter) and click Next;

8. after the hardware is added, you will find a new "Local Connection" using the fake "Microsoft loopback adapter" (because the hardware is not connected at all, just lie to Oracle ). Then, right-click the new "local connection 2" and select "properties" to set the IP address, for example, 192.168.100.89. Remember to disable the original local connection. Otherwise, the connection will fail, (no image is inserted. Who knows how to insert a local image)

9. Okay. Now open the Oracle installer to perform a prerequisite check and pass the 100% check. Now you can install oracle in Windows 7.

10. After successfully installing Oracle, we can use the integrated development environment PLSQL developer dedicated to Oracle database storage Program unit development to develop Oracle Applications.
