Oracle 11gR2 installation in Windows 8 - database

I am facing the below issue while trying to install Oracle 11gR2 on windows 8.
Please help me resolving the issue
After this prompt the installer automatically closes down.
I am New to Oracle, i tried looking into multiple forums but no luck.

I can advice you two things:
Your Java version could not meet requirements. Download the database file which includes Java.
Set "compatibility mode" to Windows 7 on setup.exe file.

SQL Server CE 4.0 Embeded Deployment Issues

Can someone point me in the right direction? I am developing an application where I am using SQL Server CE as an imbedded database. To do so, I put the “7 Dlls” that comprise the CE edition in the same folder as the EXE file along with System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll and then in code registered the COM objects. Wow, I was so pleased because everything worked. Being careful, I wanted to confirm all was well and uninstalled the SQL Server CE that I used for development. Fine! The app still worked. Going a step further I removed the 7 Dlls, leaving only System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll. I expected then to see that the application crashed. I was astonished because the application still worked. I then did a Windows folder search of my entire computer to find the 7 Dlls. The search found nothing, so I’m puzzled as to why.
I do have a local installation of SQL Server 19 on my computer. Is it possible the app is using some of the files in SQL Server 19? I’m at the end of my wits.
I have tried to find another app trhat uses CE and have searched for files that may have been installed. I also did a registry search and found nothing.
My goal is to deploy this Windows desktop program with confidence it will function properly.
Thanks for any help with my problem.

Can't get Remote Desktop Services installed on Windows 2012 server

I am trying to install Remote Desktop Services on my dedicated Windows 2012 server but the installation does not start at all. It just stays here:
I have tried restarting the server 2 times and I have run every Windows Update there is. I have tried selecting other features but it will not start the installation. I had it running for hours but it would not install at all (just as the screenshot) and I had to cancel it.
Can any one help me on how to get Remote Desktop Services installed somehow or another? Is there another way to get it installed? I am not in this case installing remotely.
This guide to install via the Powershell seems to help:

DB2 Client Installation Error

I am facing problems while installaing db2 client in my system. Initially I got an error: Cannot find XML_0017.cab.
Then I cancelled the installation, selected the custom installation option and removed all the options related to XML (i.e. XML Extender and the XML Extender Samples) and tried to install. Now i can see that WEBD0000.CAB file is missing.
I am not able to understand how to proceed with the installation. Am I missing something?
DB2 9.1 was not supported on Windows 7 at all. IBM ended support of DB2 9.1 in April, 2012.
I would suggest you download a more recent version of the Data Server client from IBM's website.
CAB file, I assume this is a windows installation.
My DB2 on windows is a little rusty but if this is a client install you should not have to install "XML anything" unless you installing some kind of addon for Visual Studio.
What file did you download?
Can you include a file name, url link etc.?

SQL Server 2008 R2 Install Won't Work

I'm trying to install the developer edition of SQL Server 2008 R2. I run the setup as admin, but after it installs the "Setup Support Files", it closes and returns back to the installation center screen.
Any ideas?
I had this same problem and it appears to be something to do with previous versions leaving behind elements in their install/uninstall. I fixed it by running the Microsoft install/uninstall utility linked below. During the process you are asked what program you are trying to install and MSSQL Server 2008 R2 is listed. After running this the install continued after the "Setup Support Files" stage. Hope it helps!

So does it even installs Support files? You can check it by looking into "Programs and Features" (if using Windows Vista or 7) and if it is not there then it is not even installing support files. In that case may be you are missing components required for Support files itself (e.g. older version of Windows Installer).
Sometimes, SQL Server installer itself acts funny and without any reason it just crashes. Did you tried to run it again? Or try to run the installer after rebooting your system (I know this sound like a too rookie advice but in many cases rebooting OS solves issue).
The problem started when I change the shared folder directory from \Program Files(86)\SQL Server to custom folder. If I could have rename back to default, it should have been fine but I stop the installation and restart the install again assuming it will install fresh, but it did not and it hangs all the time.
I appreciate the comment from Lee, as per his advice I ran the fix it tool from Microsoft. The tool finds SQL Server 2008 R2 installed and I choose to uninstall.
When re-install the SQL Engine, it went through because this time, I did not change the Share Folder location and leave it to the default. I think this is some kind of bug in the SQL Installation. I wonder why Installation has to hang...!
The problem might be the location of the Setup Support Files.
Remove all the Setup Support Files using Control Panel/Uninstall Program.
After that install SQL 2008 from the beginning.

How can I install SQL Server Express 2008 with Advanced Services?

Has anyone successfully installed SQL Server Express 2008 with Advanced Services?
I've tried several times and half way through the installation I always get the error:
The downloaded file appears to be corrupt.
I found this thread on MSDN but it seems that no one there could get it to work. They were only successful in installing the 'SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools' (default) option.
I need to have Full-text Search so I need the 'Advanced Services' option. If anyone has successfully installed this then would be they so kind as to share the method used?
My experience in XP Pro SP3 and how I got through it. I went to the download page and clicked on the download link to install any version which downloads a bootstrapper (SQLEXP32_x86_ENU_Bootstraper.exe) which if you select the advanced services edition fails to load the install file (SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe) . After many headaches,disk cleanup, etc. I tried the link for the specific advanced services edition. This downloads the file (SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe) itself which can then be run. I had to run it from the command prompt, but that's probably just my persinickety system. At any rate, while there are probably more problems ahead, at least this get the installer running. It comes up with the SQL Server Installation and you have to step through it manually.
BTW I tried to post this to the social.microsoft site but couldn't log in.
Just curious if you've tried re-downloading the file from Microsoft's servers? If I remember right there was a 'blip' where some of the files posted to the servers were, in fact, corrupt.
I agree with Thomas that there are some really funny things going on with XP SP3 and SQL Server 2008 installs, particularly if you use a non-English locale. But the log files in that case should yield problems indicating an MSXML 6 problem (due to the MSXML files becoming protected), not a corrupt download file.
If you download the file again and run it, can you post the contents of the most recent Summary*.txt file you find on your C: drive? Just search for summary*.txt and it should be in a folder like...
%Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\Setup Bootstrap\Log\
...(but I forget exactly where Express puts this). This log file may yield better errors than the handful of exceptions the GUI has been coded to handle.

as of Nov 2009 the SQLEXPRADVx86ENU.exe claims to be 502M on the download page, but downloads as 356M, and does not execute. This happens on both a T1 and a DSL connection, so I'm fairly sure it's not the download failing.
I was able to install the "Runtime with Advanced Services" by using the unpleasantly painful Web Platform Installer.
