OK, oracle didn't install any services at all...which is weird because I was running it as a Domain User in the local administrators group...do you think I need to be logged into a local administrator account?

Yes, sure ! You must be the local admin of this computer, and not a domain user.
Moreover, I'm afraid you cannot install it in a domain, maybe you should (just for testing purposes) try to install a standalone Windows system and try installing Oracle 10g on it.
You know, a RDBMS database server must be installed on a server system. You can cheat, installing it on a standalone Windows system, the standalone system emulating a server. But I'm even not sure you can install it on a client machine. Oracle server is traditionally installed on server systems, and Oracle client is installed on client system.
Please, keep us informed, if you were successful loggin on your own system as localsystem administrator, and if you were then able to correctly install Oracle.
If not, I strongly suggest you to restart everything from scratch (even on an old machine) just for learning purposes. After installing on a brand new Windows standalone system, you will feel more confident for installing it on your client system.
Regards
Yordan

OK, glad to see that there are no more 10g install issues, and everything is working fine now.
So, we learned something from your adventure : we have to be system admin when starting and Oracle install on a Windows system.
Which is not fully the case when installint on a Linux or on a Unix or AIX box. On a Unix box, you prepare the install as system admin (rootpre.sh has to be fired by the "root" user), then you perform the whole installation as a standard user, and only at the end you have to become the system admin "root" user in order to fire the last install scripts name "root.sh".
Now, we are happy for you, enjoy your Oracle on Windows install.

No oracle services are visible even after successful installation of oracle10g
Oracle 10g Install Issues

Oracle 10g was installed successfully on a windows standalone machine with admin user. I selected advance installation option and selected install only software option. Oracle installed successfully. But no service is visible in the services section, not even listener is started. I never faced this sort of problem with oracle9i.

So I'm trying to install 10g on my XP Pro development box, and the install goes fine (I do the basic install of enterprise edition, I'm by no means an oracle expert) and when it gets to the part where it wants to create a database, the database creation assistant fails saying first that it cannot retrieve credentials, and then that it can't connect to ORACLE (I'm assuming this is the instance name).

Anyone have *any* idea what's going on here?

while installing itself you need to set the passwords to access your database like the sysman sysadm etc set all the passwords to the desired one to access your database
whatever it might be the oracle 10g doesn't work without those passwords

Distributed Configuration Management tool is not installed after installing Oracle Application server 10g
Oracle 10g Install Issues

Hi All,

I installed Oracle Application server 10g Release 3 on my machine. The document says that the Distributed Configuration Management(DCM) will get installed during the installation. But, I don't see it after the installation is done.

Can anyone please guide me as to where I am going wrong??

TIA,

Mamatha

hmmmm ok. did anyone have oracle 10g installation manuals . share the link of these manual with us.

The manuals are here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/index.html

I need some help with the above. I installed the wrong version before and now I can't get it uninstalled from the system for me to install the right version.

You have first to run the Oracle Installer ("start", "All programs", "Oracle", until reaching the installer). Then choose the "Installed Products", it will show all the (wrongly) installed products, check what you don't want any more, and you will see that "uninstall" will be accessible.
By the way, you don't need to uninstall the development environment before installing the database. These are independent, you can have both or have each one.
Hope this helped.

1. Read/Write Issues After Copying An Access .mdb File - (5)

   Alright, I'm currently creating an interface program for a MS Access database. I've only
   used Access once in the past but used other DB's a handful of times so I didn't have any
   trouble getting the general program created. My issue arose when I tried to make it so that the
   users needing to use the program can just copy the .exe and the .mdb files and use it. The program
   doesn't require users to share the database but to store their OWN programs information in their
   OWN database, so basically each needs to have their own database with the exact same d...

8. Oracle "lite" Alternative? - In need of a program (9)

   for college, we run oracle on a win2k3 server that's run on a virtual system like VMware and/or
   Virtual PC. VMware has it bells and whistles, and makes a nifty gadget, but eats my laptop's
   resources like there's no tomorrow. So I got rid of the VMware image and VMware itself, and
   wanted to switch to VPC. Another problem I have, is that I barely have any diskspace left to work
   with, and those images are at least 4 GB. So I wondered if anyone knew a program that would act as
   Oracle, but solely for the purpose of testing databases. I have two .db files that I...
