In development we often use Oracle databases. Oracle now has different versions, and different projects use different versions of Oracle due to different development times. Because of the different versions of the database functionality, it is generally difficult to upgrade the database version once it has been developed. But the operating system we use is constantly being updated. Many people are willing to try a new operating system. The installation of Oracle 10g under different Windows is somewhat different due to operating system compatibility.
Oracle 10g has the best compatibility with Windows XP systems, and you can double-click between download and install packages.
In Windows Server 2003, a direct double-click Run can also complete the installation, but at the end of the installation, some errors are reported and the next step is ignored.
If it is installed in Windows 7,10 or server 2008r2, the direct double-click installation is not working properly, at this time we only need to right-click on the Oracle installation file properties, select Compatibility for Windows XP SP3, run as administrator, OK, double-click to run. If installed in Win10, after installation, go to the Oracle installation directory, right-Sqlplus.exe, set to run as Windows XP SP3, run as an administrator to use sqlplus normally. Because Sqlplus is set to run as Administrator, CMD, Plsql should also run as administrator to operate the database properly.
