Installing Oracle Software on Windows. What I've done is I've downloaded the zip files which are right here, they're rather large. You have to set up a username and login and download that way. And then I've gone and extracted them into these two directories here. The first directory has a set up program and the easy thing about the Windows installation is you just run the set up. There's no messing around or redirection of IP addresses or anything like that. The only problem is with an Oracle Database running on my local Windows XP box, my computer is going to get rather slow, so as I said, I'm going to deinstall it afterwards. And this is the Installation Program loading, it comes up with this. Now I'm going to Ignore all this stuff, I don't want to get junk mail, not really. Do you wish to remain uninformed? Yes I wish to remain uninformed and again I'm going to do the Install the Database Software only. As you can see it's very similar but much simpler than the Linux installation. Single Instance Database again, no rack, click Next. Rack on Windows, a very difficult proposition. There is an extra addition called Personal which is an even further tuned down version of Standard Edition 1. I'm just going to stick with Enterprise for now and actually, I'm going to go back and select the options. I know I don't want all this stuff installed because not only am I going to delete this installation after I've showed you how to create it, essentially installing all that extra stuff takes a long time to run. Click Next and it's going to put it in a directory like that, same thing as Linux. It's going to perform Performance Checks and if it comes up with things like memory issues which is possible because my Notebook is somewhat underpowered but not probable. Let's see what it does, Architecture, Disk Space available. I have disk space, that would be a problem if I didn't have disk space. I'm rather tight on disk space on this particular machine and it's just going to do the same thing and I'm going to pause it and come back to it. I could click the Details Button actually, it's going to tell me what it's doing here. It's probably doing a lot of things I don't want it to do. This basically, this is the Installation Log, the stuff that it freaked on, probably no big deal. We could have tried to expand this window and have a look at the details but once again this course is not really about the machinations of the Oracle Installer. I'm just showing you the basics of how to install it and this is the installation completed on Windows and if we go to Start, Programs, we will find an Oracle Database Installation where it has things such as the Configuration and Migration Tools. The Database Configuration Assistant, I could create a database on this Windows machine, I'm not going to because I'm going to use my Linux box.
