Can't reinstall Java 8 Update 101 after uninstalling

6580bd16-e2b0-4f18-b7ea-bb091e97101eAug 9 2016 — edited Aug 10 2016

I had to uninstall a previous update of Java 8 because the plug-in container was constantly hanging and crashing and slowing my PC. But then I found I couldn't access an online learning platform I need for work without it. So, after removing all traces of Java with Revo Uninstaller (Java Uninstaller gave me an error message), I downloaded Update 101. It took several tries, but I finally managed to install it. I saw the clouds moving on Java's website, so I thought it was working. But then the online platform wouldn't let me log in, saying I needed to have Java installed and enabled in order to access the site. So, thinking something had gone wrong with the installation, I removed it from my PC. Since then I haven't been able to reinstall it. I've tried three different installers, all downloaded from Java's website. When I click on each of them, I get a popup reading, "Java 8 requires a newer version of Windows. You may continue with the installation, but for Java to work as specified, we recommend upgrading your operating system". It asks me to click OK, and I do. After that nothing happens. When I try clicking again on the installer, I get a second popup: "Another Java installation is in progress. You must complete that installation before you can run this installer." The problem is that nothing's in progress. Yet when I installed Java 8u101 just two days ago, it gave me the first message, but when I clicked "OK", it did finish the installation.

I'm running Windows XP with SP3 on a PC. My browser is Mozilla Firefox 48.0. Java was enabled in the browser.

I have the same error on Windows 10 Pro, Dell Precision 7810, 32 GB memory,
2 CPU x 8 Cores x 2 threads = 32 threads...

User_81UY9

any progress on your installation? @user-g0fb5-oracle@user-gmsnn

Is error occurring during the installation of XE, or after it is completed?
Did you receive an error during installation?

ORA-00821 occurs during installation, and it is impossible to connect to the database
using sqlplus as sysdba "sqlplus / as sysdba".

@christian-shay-oracle,I encountered during the installation and will not able to complete due to ORA-00821: Specified value of SGA_target 2096M is too small, needs to be atleast 2240M. I am installing on Windows 64 bit with 64gb of RAM.

The problem is it won't allow me to create a database with more than 2GB RAM of PGA+SGA(Database Express limitation) but it won't allow me to create with too small SGA for shared pool size. I have 64GB of RAM in my machine, running MS Windows SQLServer 2019

Any word on this? I have the exact same problem. Seems to be high-memory machines. I have Windows 10 Pro for Workstations... 32-core, 48GB RAM.

  1. "Start button" -> Find [Control Panel] -> [System Configuration] -> [Boot] folder.
  2. Click [Advanced Options...] button. In the form "Boot Advanced Options"
    check the "[ ] Number of processors " checkbox, then select number of CPUs (about 8). Save your changes.
    (Just in case - I selected 4 CPUs).
  3. Restart your PC.
  4. Install Oracle 21c XE database. Install process is to slow (took about 30 min), but without errors.
  5. When installation is done, check the services (using the command "lsnrctl status").
    Services "XE", "XEXDB", "XEPDB1" have to work.
  6. Go go [Advanced Options...] of your PC (see item#2) and UNCHECK the "[ ] Number of processors " checkbox. Save your changes.
  7. Restart your PC. Database will work as expected.
  8. Enjoy :)

@user-gmsnn THANK YOU!!! this worked for me. I have a ryzen 5950x with 16cores and I bumped it down to 4 for the install. The errors I was getting was mostly about TNS, but turns out the database wasnt installed correctly and the installer did not tell me.
