Anybody here does have an succesful experience in installing Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit) on 64 bit Windows 7? No matter which installation type i select on the first screen i get this: Is it possible to install such a configuration? My java version is 1.5.0_19 (also i have 1.4.2 and 1.6_26 but final product require 1.5). Database Hardware requirements are satisfied (4GB RAM and 65GB on the disk).
Installing a 32bit Oracle version on a 64bit Windows is not supported (See Metalink Document 1060806.1).
You will need to install the 64bit version.
I've managed to install Oracle 64 bit for Windows Vista on Windows 7 as described here, using -ignoreSysPrereqs option for the installation executable.

Seems like greenplum database cannot be installed on windows. I have a certain requirement for which this would be best if I can install it on windows. Is there any possibility or workaround for this?
No, Windows is not a supported operating system for the Greenplum server.
http://docs.greenplum.org/6-1/install_guide/platform-requirements.html#topic13
Lists the supported Operating Systems:
-Red Hat Enterprise Linux 64-bit 7.x (See the following Note.)
-Red Hat Enterprise Linux 64-bit 6.x
-CentOS 64-bit 7.x
-CentOS 64-bit 6.x
-Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
I had to introduce SSIS into my work with SQL Server due to several requirements of the business, as I could not implement changes using other means readily available in standard installation of SQL Server and SSMS.
Up until the SSIS requirement everything was working fine: SSMS hummed nicely, had VS2010 shell for deploying SSRS reports directly to the server and to be able to maintain my reports better than using Report Builder. But it was insufficient for several projects, so SSIS was chosen to deal with that deficiency.
Everything works fine up to the moment of deploying the package. Develop, test and build - package works like a charm. But deployed package just would not work. Troubleshooting pointed to 32/64 bit issue and only after an option "32-bit runtime" checked in advanced configuration in Server Agent job properties. How is that possible when the everything I installed and used is 64-bit? Obviously, that presents additional issues (ODBC drivers, other applications all need 32 bit versions) and resolving those is not as obvious as Microsoft think it is, if it's possible at all.
And then, following logic: how can I set up truly end-to-end 64-bit environment with Microsoft Stack?
To quote my point from the comments:
Likely, the reason, is because you only have 32bit drivers for
something you are using, and thus when using the package, you have to
run in 32bit mode. A "great" example of this is the ACE Drivers. When
in SSDT, the application is 32bit, so has to use the 32 drivers. If
your SQL Server also, only has the 32 bit drivers installed (not
the 64 bit) then, again, you have to use the 32bit run-time option.
It's all about what drivers you are using. If you don't have 64bit
drivers for what you're doing, but have 32bit ones, you have run in
32bit (and vice versa).
Couple of bits emphasised.
I have changed my operating system from windows XP to windows 7. I installed firebird 1.5.3.4870 and driver firebird odbc 1.2.0.69 on windows 7. But when I go to ODBC Data Source Administrator -> drivers I cannot see firebird driver. When I install new version of firebird driver I see it on data source administrator but I can't open old databases. Is it possible to open firebird databases created on win xp in windows 7.
Thanks and best regards
If you migrated from Windows XP 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit you will have to backup (on Windows XP!) and restore the database (on Windows 7), as the database structure of Firebird database before 2.1 (I think, could be 2.0) are not transportable between 32 bit and 64 bit architectures without backup/restore.
Also be aware that Firebird 1.5 is not compatible with Windows 7 (it was never tested under Windows Vista and Windows 7), so you might want to upgrade to Firebird 2.5.1 as well (although you might want to test that first).
So we've an old circa 2000 Powerbuilder App that we've been maintaining all this time. Its been working great until I tried to get it going on my new Windows 7 64-bit machine.
First, the old SQL 2000 client install we always have used won't install.
Second, after installed SQL 2008 connectivity tools, the app fails to connect to our database.
The error is "DBMS is not supported in your current installation"
Im worried that the 32bit PBMSS90.dll just cannot deal with the 64bit SQL drivers. I have no idea what to do at this point.
If you can offer any help, its greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Just load the 32-bit connectivity software for SQL Server. The 32-bit and 64-bit should be able to co-exist nicely, and PowerBuilder (and any other 32-bit software that accesses SQL Server) will be able to use 32-bit.
Good luck,
Terry.
Windows 7 comes with a virtual machine IIRC that can emulate all MS operating systems back to Windows 95. If this is an OS environment problem try loading your app in an XP virtual machine.
The problem I encountered is that the ancient Microsoft SQL Server driver we had been using (MSS) cannot be installed on a 64bit machine.
To make matters worse, the current SQL Native Client driver (SNC) is not at all compatible with the Powerbuilder 9.0 app we had.
The solution was to installed SNC and recompile the application in Powerbuilder 11.5 or later (in our case we used 12).
The application now runs, and connects to the database. There are a few issues to work out yet, as MSS and SNC regard char type variables differently, but the major hurdle was covered.
Thanks for your help.
I would like to install Visual Studio 2008 and MS SQL Server 2008 on Ubuntu OS which I have in my PC.
Wine is great, but using it for either Visual Studio or MS SQL Server is probably pushing it. Both are behemoths that tend (especially VS) to use the latest MS APIs. More to the point, both VS and MSSQL are listed as Garbage in Wine's db, meaning compatibility is very poor.
I would recommend you take a serious look at the available tools on GNU/Linux, such as MonoDevelop, Mono, Eclipse, MySQL, etc. You can use cross-platform build technologies, such as nant to build the same apps on both platforms.
If that isn't an option, then you will have to resort to virtualization, as noted by sean.
This answer might help you. Visual Studio and SQL Server are for Windows OS variants. You'll need some sort of VM to run on Ubuntu.
If you have some sort of Windows OS disks available to you (XP / Vista / 2008), then you could consider installing Windows under VirtualBox, and installing your software inside that VM. That used to work really well for me when I was still on Ubuntu.
I've been developing using Visual Studio in Ubuntu since version 10.04, and there is a solution, although I would recommend that you run the 64 bit version of Ubuntu and have at least 4Gb of ram available.
Install the latest version of VirtualBox (download from the website, rather than using the ubuntu repository), and install Windows as a virtual machine. You need to allocate a virtual disk and then, when the virtual machine starts for the first time, either install Windows from a CD/DVD, or select a CD image to use within VirtualBox.
You will also see, with the later versions of VirtualBox, something called "seamless mode". This essential hides the virtual machine, so that instead of running in a window, it will integrate with the Ubuntu desktop. That way, you can run Visual Studio in what looks to be native to Ubuntu.
I have tried both VMWare Player and VirtualBox and found VirtualBox to be better for my setup. Although VMWare Player has something called VMWare tools, which provides an API layer to better translate Windows calls to your video card, this can be temperamental if you're using an ATI card (speaking from experience with a Mobility Radeon HD 4600). Nvidia provide much better driver support in Linux than ATI do.
Hope this helps!
I think is better to simply dual boot to write your .net code. It will put your hardware to better use, and you will be able to focus more since all the programs on which you waste your time will be on the linux side :D (at least that's the upside for me)
To use Visual Studio 2008 and MS SQL Server 2008 in any Linux..
