Oracle 9i Enterprise partially loads on XP Pro
I am having problems loading Oracle 9i. I am running Windows XP Pro and every time I get to "Type of installation," I click Enterprise edition and it only loads 31%. Can you help me with this problem?
One of the most common reasons for this problem is that a previous installation of Oracle was not complete, and Oracle was not uninstalled fully. So I would uninstall Oracle completely, and then try again. To uninstall Oracle, follow these steps:
- Fire up the Universal Installer, click Remove and uninstall Oracle. Unfortunately, there are many traces left, which you'll have to handle manually.
- Using Windows Explorer, navigate to your ORACLE_HOME directory. Remove this directory.
- Using Windows Explorer, remove the C:\Program Files\Oracle directory.
- Go to Start --> Run and type "regedit" in the dialog box. This invokes the Registry Editor.
- Delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle folder in the registry.
- Reboot your machine.
