installing 32-bit Forms and Reports on 64-bit Windows 7, as recommended by 1395965.1
PFRD 11.1.1.6 on Windows 7 64-bit
Today we found that Reports Builder locks up when we try and copy/paste a report field in the layout. ID 1395965.1 says that:
There are different workarounds for these problems :
1. The first known solution for ALL of the problems described above is to install the Builders in 32-Bits even on 64-Bit platforms. This was the only supported way before 11gR2 and is still supported in 11gR2. It is necessary to install both WLS (Weblogic Server) and Forms / Reports 11gR2 using 32-bit installers.
Right! I uninstalled PFRD completely (including the registry), made sure that the Java was 32-bit version 6 and installed 32-bit WLS 10.3.6 (wls1036_win32.exe). No problem there, but when I tried installing 11.1.1.2 it stops dead and tells me the shiphome isn't right for the platform!
