error in windows 7 when installing oracle

[A3CIB]

I keep getting this error when i am trying to install oracle 10g developer suite:

"Install has encountered an error while attempting to verify your virtual memory setting. Please verify that the sum of the initial size of the paging files is at least 256MB"

What should i do?

 

[brady]

Enable or bump up your virtual memory.

right click your my computer icon, select properties.

click "advanced" tab

Edit virtual Memory -> 2x your physical (or let windows do it for you)

Got to system properties then advanced, it shows paging file sizes to 4096mb

Is that ok

 

[brady]

Yeah that should be fine... But now I'm curious... Was it always like that? or did you set that up?

 

[A3CIB]

it was like that before

 

[brady]

So you're still getting an error while installing?

 

[A3CIB]

yep

Client Platform Statement of Direction 10gR2

can you verify that you are using the correct build?

 

[A3CIB]

got be confused.
Ther version i downloaded is this: Oracle Developer Suite 10g for Windows

 

[A3CIB]

Sorry "got me Confused"

 

[brady]

Only reason I said that is because the 10g is not 'certified' to run on vista/7...

But expanding your virtual memory should take care of the problem, hopefully.

Set your virtual memory to 2048. I know it's lowering it, but we need to see if it changes the error.

You 'should' be forced to reboot. Please reboot after the modification and try again.

Ok i will reply in 30 mins as i am also trying to install it on my virtual machine so cannot reboot at the moment

Thanks

 

[brady]

fixed?

 

[hem]

i dont think oracle 10 g or oracle 11 g yet supports win7!! If that is not the issue please rectify me. Thank you.
