Installing Oracle11g Release 2 on Microsoft Windows 7 - finished

After seeing many questions and/or problems with an Oracle RDBMS installation on Microsoft Windows 7 I decided to start this blog to get people up to speed.

The blog efforts will in the end result in a document with clear steps on how to properly install the Oracle 11g Release 2 software on 64-bit Windows 7. The individual flavors of Windows (Ultimate, Enterprise, or Professional - other versions are not supported - or 32-bit vs. 64-bit Windows) do not matter that much. However, it is important to adhere to the requirements found in chapter 2 of the Oracle Installation Guide (available at http://docs.oracle.com).

Step 1 in the whole process is to install Microsoft Windows and be able to administer the system with the Administrator account (or an account with equal privileges). Administration privileges are required to be able to start and stop the database instance.

After installation of Windows 7 the blog will continue with the database installation itself.

May 27th update: I made a new post (http://mverheij.blogspot.com/2013/05/successfully-installing-oracle-11g.html), detailing more information on how to obtain the installation information from me.
