FW: 9i install on Win2K (an update)
I've now gotten 1 step further. I've found the location off the OUI: 12/11/2001 12:37 ORACLE_S.OUI Which is in C:\SAVE\Disk1\STAGE\COMPONEN\. I modified the ORAPARAM.ini file to reflect this, and it seems it got one step further, as it created an OUI directory along with the Images one under OraInstall under temp. But still errored out with the Original error of not having the JREW program. The path that was supposed to be pointing to the JRE_LOCATION actually should have been (it *seems*): C:\SAVE\Disk1\STAGE\COMPONEN\ORACLE_S.JRE\1.1.8.10.0\1\DataFiles\Expanded\jr e But this points to a completely empty file (0 bits), and hence, did not work :) Finally I took a complete copy of the contents of: C:\SAVE\Disk1\RR_MOVED\JRE\WIN32\BIN which holds the JRE, JREW etc. programs, and put them directly in to the OraInstall directory under temp. This does in fact suppress the error.. But again, the OUI does not appear.. It just goes west.. I'm close to giving up now :P Mark -Original Message- Sent: 13 November 2001 12:04 To: A. Bardeen Anita, No I haven't tried this (classpath) - how do I go about doing this?

Mark, It looks like you have already read up on this
problem, but here is some more info if you need it.
The problem is with the symcjit.dll. The DLL does a
CPUID detection for Intel. Intel has it documented at
http://developer.intel.com/design/processor/future/manuals/knownissue.htm
.
Here are some possible solutions I found in a bulliten
(some you tried). This info appears to be from 8i
Not only will OUI be affected by this bug, most of the
post-install
configuration tools will also be affected. Running
these tools with "-nojit"
specified will avoid the hang, but it is not simple to
specify "-nojit" for
some of the products.
WORKAROUND:
To avoid the hang in the installation itself, do the
following:
> > a. Copy the install directory from the CD to the
hard disk say, e:\temp.
> > b. Open oraparam.ini and make the following
modifications (Assuming CD
drive is f:)
* Change the "SOURCE=" line to use the full path to
the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e. SOURCE=f:/stage/products.jar)
* Change the "JRE_LOCATION" line to use the full path
to the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.
JRE_LOCATION=f:/stage/Components/oracle/swd/jre/1.1.7/1/DataFiles/Expanded)
* Change the "OUI_LOCATION" line to use the full path
to the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.
OUI_LOCATION=f:/stage/Components/oracle/swd/oui/1.6.0.9.0/1/DataFiles/Expand
ed
* Change the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to add "-nojit"
as the first argument.
(i.e. JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m)
^^
* Other entries should remain the same
.
c. Launch setup.exe from the temporary location on
your hard drive (i.e.
e:\temp\install\win32\setup.exe). This will use the
modified oraparam.ini and
pick up the information from the CD since the absolute
locations are
specified.
.
Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a
database during the
install. This way, the Database Configuration
Assistant will not be launched
during installation.
The Net8 Configuration Assistant will still be
launched, and there is no way
to suppress it. You will need to kill the Net8
Configuration Assistant if it
hangs due to the bug. The installation still will
have been successful, and
you can run the DBCA and NetCA after installation.
To kill NetCA if it hangs during installation:
In the "Configuration Tools" window, highlight the
"Net8 Configuration
Assistant" and click "Stop". If that does not work,
look for the most recent
JRE process using the Task Manager, and kill it
manually. NOTE: the OUI
itself will also have a jre process. Be sure to kill
the one with the most
recent date, which should be the jre process being
used for Net8CA, not the
one for OUI itself.
After killing the configuration tools and continuing
through the installation
to the "End of Installation" screen, you should modify
the configuration tools
to use "-nojit", then call the appropriate tools from
the Start Menu.
For each of the following files in the ORACLE_HOME:
assistants\dbca\dbassist.cl
assistants\dbma\dbmig.cl
assistants\ifa\ifa.cl
@ bin\elogin.cl
bin\owm.cl
ldap\oidamdin\oidadmin.cl
network\tools\netasst.cl
network\tools\netca.cl
@ owm\install\instelogin.cl
owm\install\instowm.cl
.
Edit the contents of the file to add "-nojit" as shown
below:
Command=("C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\BIN\JREW"
-nojit -classpath
this is the only thing you need to add -->

.
Then, launch the necessary tools, like Net8CA and DBCA
from the Start Menu.
Replace the
existing symcjit.dll with the new one from the
jre-1_2_2_007.
This version 3.10.0.107 has the fix for the Pentium
4's. You also need to take
the jvm.dll file from that same jre installation and
copy it into the same
location as the symcjit.dll. I am not sure why you
need that, but when you
run the installer and that file is not present Windows
barks that it cannot
find jvm.dll - Although it still runs the installer
without it.
Another Workaround Exists for the Oracle Universal
Installer:
1. Create a temporary directory on your server.
2. Copy the contents of the Oracle Server CD to the
temporary directory
created in step 1.
3. Search the directory structure created in step 1
for the existence of
the filename symcjit.dll.
4. Rename each copy of the symcjit.dll to symcjit.old.
5. Run the setup.exe from the \install\win32 directory
and install
I don't have a P4 so I have no idea if any of these
will work.
Good Luck,
Scott

RE: 9i install on Win2K
Mark, It looks like you have already read up on this
problem, but here is some more info if you need it.
The problem is with the symcjit.dll. The DLL does a
CPUID detection for Intel. Intel has it documented at
http://developer.intel.com/design/processor/future/manuals/knownissue.htm
.
Here are some possible solutions I found in a bulliten
(some you tried). This info appears to be from 8i
Not only will OUI be affected by this bug, most of the
post-install
configuration tools will also be affected. Running
these tools with "-nojit"
specified will avoid the hang, but it is not simple to
specify "-nojit" for
some of the products.
WORKAROUND:
To avoid the hang in the installation itself, do the
following:
> > a. Copy the install directory from the CD to the
hard disk say, e:\temp.
> > b. Open oraparam.ini and make the following
modifications (Assuming CD
drive is f:)
* Change the "SOURCE=" line to use the full path to
the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e. SOURCE=f:/stage/products.jar)
* Change the "JRE_LOCATION" line to use the full path
to the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.
JRE_LOCATION=f:/stage/Components/oracle/swd/jre/1.1.7/1/DataFiles/Expanded)
* Change the "OUI_LOCATION" line to use the full path
to the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.
OUI_LOCATION=f:/stage/Components/oracle/swd/oui/1.6.0.9.0/1/DataFiles/Expanded
* Change the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to add "-nojit"
as the first argument.
(i.e. JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m)
^^
* Other entries should remain the same
.
c. Launch setup.exe from the temporary location on
your hard drive (i.e.
e:\temp\install\win32\setup.exe). This will use the
modified oraparam.ini and
pick up the information from the CD since the absolute
locations are
specified.
.
Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a
database during the
install. This way, the Database Configuration
Assistant will not be launched
during installation.
The Net8 Configuration Assistant will still be
launched, and there is no way
to suppress it. You will need to kill the Net8
Configuration Assistant if it
hangs due to the bug. The installation still will
have been successful, and
you can run the DBCA and NetCA after installation.
To kill NetCA if it hangs during installation:
In the "Configuration Tools" window, highlight the
"Net8 Configuration
Assistant" and click "Stop". If that does not work,
look for the most recent
JRE process using the Task Manager, and kill it
manually. NOTE: the OUI
itself will also have a jre process. Be sure to kill
the one with the most
recent date, which should be the jre process being
used for Net8CA, not the
one for OUI itself.
After killing the configuration tools and continuing
through the installation
to the "End of Installation" screen, you should modify
the configuration tools
to use "-nojit", then call the appropriate tools from
the Start Menu.
For each of the following files in the ORACLE_HOME:
assistants\dbca\dbassist.cl
assistants\dbma\dbmig.cl
assistants\ifa\ifa.cl
@ bin\elogin.cl
bin\owm.cl
ldap\oidamdin\oidadmin.cl
network\tools\netasst.cl
network\tools\netca.cl
@ owm\install\instelogin.cl
owm\install\instowm.cl
.
Edit the contents of the file to add "-nojit" as shown
below:
Command=("C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\BIN\JREW"
-nojit -classpath
this is the only thing you need to add -->
^^
.
Then, launch the necessary tools, like Net8CA and DBCA
from the Start Menu.
Replace the
existing symcjit.dll with the new one from the
jre-1_2_2_007.
This version 3.10.0.107 has the fix for the Pentium
4's. You also need to take
the jvm.dll file from that same jre installation and
copy it into the same

for the existence of
the filename symcjit.dll.
4. Rename each copy of the symcjit.dll to symcjit.old.
5. Run the setup.exe from the \install\win32 directory
and install

RE: 9i install on Win2K
Not trying to be funny Mark but... any reason why you don't want to set up a Suse linux partition on your 40Gb hard drive and run 9i (Linux version)? I have W2k in one partition on my P4 system and Suse 7.1 (kernel 2.4.7) running 9i in another partition. The problem is I can't run W2K and access the Oracle database at the same time. But if you don't have this requirement, then this would be a good workaround.

Hence, the Oracle Universal Installer cannot be run. Please visit http://www.javasoft.com and install JRE version 1.1.7 or higher and try again. Now, my java environment (actually JRE 1.3.1) is installed in it's normal place - C:\Program Files\Javasoft\JRE\1.3.1\..

Now, I remembered that I had the exact same problem when installing the 8.1.7 client on to this machine (before it had a new Hard Drive), and the solution (provided by Larry Strickland) was that they had a faulty dll (symcjit.dll) that had to be replaced in the install directories from the CD. Larry also provided me with a copy of the new dll.. I copied the entire contents of the install CDs to my HD, and searched for this particular dll, and guess what? I found it, twice, and both versions had different modification dates - and here's the best bit - and they were BOTH still older than the version supplied by Larry!

I've even copied the contents of Disk1\RR_MOVED\JRE\WIN32\BIN (where one of the symcjit.dll files actually was) in to the temp orainstall directory, and modified the path accordingly, I then get no error at all, but the installer just disappears, and nothing happens!!

RE: 9i install on Win2K
Mark, This is from a post on metastink. Let me know if this helps. If it doesn't I can do some more searching for you. I did a search using the error message you are getting. Dave RDBMS Version: 9iLite Operating System and Version: Windows 2000 Error Number (if applicable): Product (i.e. SQL*Loader, Import, etc.): Product Version: 9i Lite 5.0 New 9i Lite won't find jrew.exe Just got the 9i lite from Technet and tried to install it. After I unziped it I tried to start the setup.exe I get the message: The Java Runtime Environment was not found at bin\jrew.exe. Hence, the Oracle Universal Installer could not be run. I went to web site and installed JRE 1.1.7 as it said. But no luck. I noticed in the WIN32 folder there is another setup.exe and a ORAPARAM.INI file.. In the ORAPARAM.INI the paths were all wrong so I changed them to : [Oracle] DISTRIBUTION=TRUE SOURCE=../products.jar LICENSE_LOCATION= JRE_LOCATION=../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.7.30/1/DataFiles/Expande d/jre OUI_LOCATION=../stage/Components/oracle.swd.oui/1.7.1.9.0/1/DataFiles/Expand ed And made sure the folders were there. When I start it from here nothing at all happens.. I can run the 8i Oracle Installer with no problems. So I did this and tried to point to 9i's products.jar. But it said it could not write to the file..Even though it's not read only . So I figure some compatability problem... How can I get the darn thing to install? Thanks... Hello Timothey, This is in the process of being resolved. It was discovered and proven that Olite9i 5.0 must be installed from an Oracle Universal Installer already installed on your machine. The workaround: Make sure you already have an Oracle 8.1.6 or 8.1.7 product installed on the machine. This would preferably be Oracle Server but the Client install should do. Install Olite9i 5.0 from the Oracle Universal Installer already installed on your machine. Note: This problem is appearing only in the downloaded version. As the CD version is yet to be released, it is unknown if this will be an issue when installed from the CD. Regards, Felix Oracle Support Services. Thanks I tried this. And it appeared to work however, the "Mobile Server Repository Wizard" did not appear. I assumed because there is some new feature in the Un. Installer Without it I am not able to use it... I would be happy to use Oracle 8i Lite but it is not available anymore at technet and my CD's are a bit old... Is 4.0.0.2.0 a stable version? Hi Timothy, 4.0.1 is no longer available for download because of the O9i Lite (5.0) availability. If needed, you could still use the 4.0.0.2 but I would make sure to apply the latest patches. 1) What Oracle8i DB version have you installed, 8.1.6 or 8.1.7? - Oracle_Home? 2) What Oracle_Home have you placed the O9i Lite in?

Not sure if it's the same fix for 9i as 8i, but patch 1507768 seems to work for 8.1.7 - I'm running it as I type.

9i install on Win2K
Hi ladies & gents, I think I am having a blonde Monday (no I have nothing against blondes, or Mondays for the matter.. but anyway :) ). I've got essentially a new PC (new HD), that I would *like* to install 9i on to. PC is as follows: P4 1.3 gig 256Mb RAM (Only a test box) 40 gig HD Win2K SP2 Now, I have the 9i install CDs (Thanks Joe!), but am unable to actually get the *JAVA BLOODY INSTALLER* (why don't they keep it simple eh?!?!) working! The autorun program starts, but when I try to kick it in to the Java installer (Install/Deinstall Products) I get the following error: The Java RunTime Environment was not found at C:\DOCUME~1\MARKLE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\OraInstall\jre\binjrew.exe. Hence, the Oracle Universal Installer cannot be run. Please visit http://www.javasoft.com and install JRE version 1.1.7 or higher and try again. Now, my java environment (actually JRE 1.3.1) is installed in it's normal place - C:\Program Files\Javasoft\JRE\1.3.1\.. In the Oracle Installation Guide it also says - "Oracle Universal Installer automatically installs Oracle's version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). This version is required to run Oracle Universal Installer and several Oracle assistants. Do not modify the JRE, unless doing so with a patch provided by OracleMetaLink. Visit: " It is plainly not doing this at all! Now, I remembered that I had the exact same problem when installing the 8.1.7 client on to this machine (before it had a new Hard Drive), and the solution (provided by Larry Strickland) was that they had a faulty dll (symcjit.dll) that had to be replaced in the install directories from the CD. Larry also provided me with a copy of the new dll.. I copied the entire contents of the install CDs to my HD, and searched for this particular dll, and guess what? I found it, twice, and both versions had different modification dates - and here's the best bit - and they were BOTH still older than the version supplied by Larry! (Strickland that is :)) Nothing like keeping up to date is there? :) I copied over the old versions with the new version - but have still had no joy :( I keep getting the exact same error. I've even copied the contents of Disk1\RR_MOVED\JRE\WIN32\BIN (where one of the symcjit.dll files actually was) in to the temp orainstall directory, and modified the path accordingly, I then get no error at all, but the installer just disappears, and nothing happens!! Any ideas??
