Installing Oracle in Windows Server 2003 has not been easy thus far. After all my tests passed last time, I started the instillation. To my udder shock, and amazement, the install FAILED again! Actually I was not too terribly shocked. I expected it really.

This time the failure was rather quick. I figured this had to do with the fact that I had already attempted an instillation. I began deleting registry entries, and Oracle created files. It was really a pain. I thought I had everything solved, and I started the instillation again! And surprise surprise; another failure.

Installing Oracle in Windows Server 2003 was not something meant for me. I think it actually had something to do with the Microsoft Visual Studio I had used in the first place, the lack of initial host/domain configurations, and the prior install. Regardless of the actual problem. I thought it may be ideal to use Oracle’s Linux OS since that is what Oracle was made for. So on to installing Oracle Enterprise Linux!
