Many of my potential clients are looking for consultants that have experience implementing Oracle r12, and therefore I decided to install Oracle r12 to learn all of its new features.  I will have to buy a PC, download Oracle and Windows Server 2003, and install them both.  Then, who knows what I will need to learn to start using Oracle r12.  This task is daunting, but I know I will learn a lot!

I will be using this website as my guide.

Here is the list of things that I have downloaded and stored on an external drive.  I suggest using a download manager; I am using DownThemAll!.  Oracle is 39 files, totaling around 40 GB

• Windows Server 2003 R2  Enterprise Edition with SP2 (32-BIT)
  • Trial registration
  • Image download
• Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package
  • Download Page
