Posted by Jithendra Gurumurthy Labels: Oracle Apps TechnicalI know there are people who are suffering to install Oracle 10g Developer Suite in Windows Vista Operating system. For those who do not know what comes under 10g Suite, it has a list of applications/tools like SQL*Plus 10g, Forms Developer 10g, Reports Developer 10g, JDeveloper 10g etc.

In this article I am sharing my success on how to successfully install these tools in your Vista PC.

After downloading the setup files in your local system, change the Compatibility mode of the setup file to avoid the "Unknown Error" during installation.

Next change your Virtual memory settings of your PC to a minimum of 256 MB and a maximum of 512 MB for paging file size. (Navigation-> Right Click My computer -> Properties -> Advanced system Settings -> Under Performance, click on settings -> Under advanced tab, under Virtual Memory click on Change)

Change the Paging size as shown and restart the PC.

Now run your installer and there wont be any compatibility problems for you anymore. You can run all your tools without any problem just like in a XP SP2 PC.

I am thankful to God that I have helped my company by discovering this part and I hope that this article helps to all those who are struggling to install Developer Tools 10g on Vista OS.
