1. Overview

Some additional info - for me, the KeyXE.reg file still didn't exist at the expected location, so I don't know what it was supposed to do or what I am missing out on. The blog states 'To check if everything’s good, click on the windows start button - All programs - Oracle Database 11g Express Edition - Get started.' , which for me isn't listed in my start menu, so perhaps that's probably it. Later on in the comments multiple users mention that the Get Started link should point to, which did take me to the Get Started page. – Dec 13 '13 at 21:44. This is a very useful question.

It has 5 different helpful answers that say quite different but complementary things (surprising, eh?). This answer combines those answers into a more useful form as well as adding two more solutions. There is no Oracle Express Edition for 64 bit Windows. See this official but unanswered. Therefore, these are the classes of solutions:. Pay.

The paid versions of Oracle (Standard/Enterprise) support 64-bit Windows. Many people have successfully installed the 32 bit Oracle XE software on 64 bit Windows.

Seems to be the one most often cited as helpful. This is unsupported, of course, and session trace is. But for many folks this is a good solution. If your goal is simply to run Oracle on a 64 bit Windows machine, then running Oracle in a Virtual Machine may be a good solution. Is a natural choice because it's free and Oracle provides with Oracle DB installed.

Overview

VMWare or other virtualization systems work equally well. Develop only. Many users want Oracle XE just to learn Oracle or to test an application with Oracle. If that's your requirement, then (including support for 64-bit Windows) is free 'only for the purpose of developing, testing, prototyping and demonstrating your application'.

Hi Good day, Your site is very neat and impressive! I’m a student working on developing an Oracle database and a web interface. I was successfully able to install Oracle 11g on my Windows 8 pro surface. Unfortunately, my surface crashed (not due to Oracle though) I got it replaced since it was on warranty and when the OS upgraded to 8.1, I seem to not be able to install the 11.2.0.1.0 11g version on my 8.1 surface. I saw your post about the 11.2.0.3 version but when I click on the link to download this version, I’m seeing that I need to ‘Enter a Support Identifier above to add to this list.’ I am not sure what this means. Is it that in order to download this version, I need some sort of special access? Please advise me.

I’ll appreciate any help. Regards, Sarah. Hi, thanks for your article. I’m new to Oracle and they used a lot of terms and it is hard to know what is what because the terms are not very descriptive.

You said: “ASM devices — To run ASM on Windows you need to create at least one RAW logical partition. For this presentation I have created 2 logical partitions each 20GB using diskpart.exe program. RAW means not formated partition and without assigned letter.” I have no idea what ASM is, if it applies to me, or what. All I want is to get Oracle DBMS running on my machine. Instead I’m getting an error. I’ve not seen a post on Oracle.com that solves it. I’m quite amazed.

I have Windows 7 64bit Enterprise Edition. I’m trying to install Oracle Standard or Enterprise DBMS. I figured this was better than installing Express which I assumed would be very limited and I wouldn’t be able to follow the tutorials at my job.

Is ASM need and what is it for? I have a problem i do not install Grid, just only Oracle Database The problem is that i follow same Steps with same source install files that i had done previosuly on Windows 7, but on Windows 8.1 it resuses to do the same. When i did the install on Windows 7, i took snapshots of all Windows now on Windows 8.1 i am following the same steps but it fails!

Worst on Windows 7 it create some links to some Tools on Windows 8.1 it does not create any one. For example the one to run Oracle Net Manager, Oracle Net Configuration Assistant, etc when installing on Windows 8.1 are missing. Also i had noticed that after installer ends, on Windows 7 it was created some services when on Windows 8.1 it has not!!!

How can i investigate what cause can be? Please note: I am following on Windows 8.1 same steps i had done on Windows 7, and i am using same source folders/files, etc on a ReadOnly media as i had done on Windows 7. I can think maybe of a pre-requisite? But which one? And how can i know /check for it? Oracle Grid is optional no need to install it. It’s just extra layer to manage disks with quite many features like: – online add/remove disks – separation of duties between Oracle DBA and ASM DBA – it’s solution dedicated for RAC installations to avoid installation of 3-rd party software – niec ASM file system – creating snapshots (clone databases) and many many more I don’t think they are disadvantages for Windows 7,8.

But it’s cool to install it if you want to know how ASM works:). Regards Tomasz.
