Oracle software not installed. Install Oracle software before continuing.

I am installing Enterprise Portal with SAP Netweaver 7.0 SR3 on Oracle 10.2 and windows 64bit platform.

I installed oracle with sapserver.cmd

I have patched the Oracle system. It was successfull

i set environment variable oracle_home, java_home

When I am trying to install the AS Java, AS ABAP, EP, EP Core

I get the error

Oracle software not installed. Install Oracle software before continuing.

ORACLE_HOME

E:\oracle\EPX\102\BIN

JAVA_HOME

C:\j2sdk1.4.2_17-x64

Path

E:\oracle\EPX\102\bin;C:\Program Files\HP\NCU;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem:C:\j2sdk1.4.2_17-x64\bin:

CLASSPATH

Hi,

I once faced a problem like this and it was because I installed the wrong Oracle version 32 bits instead of 64 bits (you know we are humans and looks that you did the same mistake, Oracle directory for 64 bits is 102_64 not 102 alone (this is in 32 bits).

Just uninstall Oracle 32 bits and install 64 bits and patches.

Hai,

Have you set the ORACLE_SID??

please explain where do i need to set the oracle SID

i have set the oracle SID as EPX

regarding installating oracle from the correct location

i have 3 folders

I386, IA64, AMD64

I installed Oracle from I386 folder. Please confirm whether it is right

i have a 64 bit processor and a 64 bit Windows 2003 server.

If i have installed from the wrong folder what do i need to do next.

Thanks a lot for the replies

OK, for Xeon (and AMD64) processors you must use AMD64, if Itanium processors use IA64.

Now I´m 1000% sure this is the problem

Just uninstall Oracle and be sure to delete all directories and registry Oracle entries and then install from the correct path.

Good luck

Hi Sriram,

Check your processor type in environment variables:

Right-click "My Computer" > Properties > Advanced > Environment variables > system variables > PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE

If this is AMD64, then you gotta install from the AMD64 directory.

If this is x86, then the I386 folder is correct

You will have to uninstall the whole damn thing and install Oracle from scratch (db/patchset/patch)

Oracle directory for 64 bits is 102_64 not 102 alone (this is in 32 bits).

This is untrue....64-bit oracle can also have 102 as the directory name

Hi Prasad,

To comment about this, Xeon processors (capable of emulate 64 bits) are x86_64 and are treated as AMD64 so that's why it worked as I said, even for some other software vendors AMD64 is the same as x86_64 (technologicaly speaking).

About the directory, yes this is not the only name ( I could use any name I want on that directory) but if you use the SAP Oracle CD and the script that comes on it, as long as I know after installing more than 20 systems in 32 and 64 bits (Oracle 10.2.0.2), this is always the names is used from SR1 to SR3 at least.

Good luck
