Will Windows 7 support the Oracle 10G client and database

592815May 25 2010 — edited May 26 2010
Hi experts,

I try to find oracle 10g client/database in 32 bit window 7.

I got message that the system does not support oracle 10gR2.

Any suggestion?


Thanks
Jim

Correct. 10gR2 will be retired this year and Oracle has never certified their product for newer major versions of Windows.
11gR2 is certified for Windows 7.

only V11.2 is certified on Windows 7
Even then, it's only certified on the "Professional", "Extreme", "Awesome" editions. Not the wimpy "Home" edition.

You can download the software here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/index.html

Metalink's certification tab shows that 11.2.0.1 is compatible with Windows 7 Professional and above. The 11.1.0.7 client can be installed on Windows 7, even though it is not listed as compatible (you can tell the installer to continue/ignore the expected version problem). 10.2.0.4 is not compatible with Windows 7, although the 10.2.0.5 patch, when released, may add support for Windows 7 as well as Windows 2008 R2 (both operating systems share a common kernel).

PS: sorry ... don't mean to hijack this thread. But, just first time heard of 10gR2 retiring this year; trying to get more details.
