Re: Oracle and Windows Server 2003

Sybrand,

I got the client from:

    Oracle Software Downloads -> Database -> Oracle9iDatabase     Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1)
    Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal/Client Edition for Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) New

However, I installed the NT/2000/XP version first (the DBA told me that I could use the client I already downloaded for XP) and then uninstalled the XP version and did a reinstall with the above when it did not work. I had a suspicion that the reinstall went too fast, but I did not sit there watching it. Could it be that he reinstall did not replace files?

I also have a dual boot system (XP is on the second partition - Oracle works(ed) fine there). Could that have caused a problem? I did the installs into two separate directories on a data drive, so there should not be a conflict. They are independent of each other.

I am going to do an uninstall again, this time deleting the whole oracle directory. Then I shall install Oracle on the C: (W2K3 drive) instead of on the data drive (that drive is used by both operating systems). Do you have any other things that I should look out for?

Thanks.

David
