Ii. Oracle 10g Client Installation

Click on the Setup.exe installation, the error message appears, probably means:

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 <<<<

It appears that Oracle is not able to recognize Windows 7.

The workaround is to modify the Refhost.xml file, as well as the Oraparam.ini file, so that Oracle can recognize the type of the operating system.

1, directly find the Refhost.xml file, and then add the following code: (Add Location reference Refhost.xml file in XP or Vista format)
<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<!--Microsoft windows7-->
<versionvalue= "6.1"/>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
Since there may be two refhost.xml files in the oracle10g client, each file needs to be modified.

2. Then locate in the Oraparam.ini file:[certifiedversions] field, add:

windows=5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0,6.1

#[windows-6.0-optional]

[Windows-6.1-required]
#Minimum display colours for OUI to run
min_display_colors=256
#Minimum CPU speed required for OUI
#CPU =300

#[windows-6.1-optional]

Save the exit after you finish modifying.

Now click Install. There will be no problem at all.

Unzip after download, click setup.exe
