Installing Oracle Applications Release 11i On Windows 2003
Preface:This installation guide is written keeping in mind the Functional consultant. We will not be installing any release maintenance or UNIX tools as a Functional Consultant will rarely use them.

Step I: Partitioning and OS Installation

Pre-requisites:
A Good Computer! The recommended (Minimum) pre-requisites are:

Hardware
Processor : Pentium 4
Memory : 1 GB RAM
HDD : 120 / 160 GB
Optical Drive : CD/DVD-ROM (For copying installation files from CDS/DVDS)

SoftwareOS : Windows 2003
Java: JDK 1.3.1 (Minimum)

Make the following partitions at the time of installing the OS:

C:\ > : 10GB (For installing Windows 2003)
D:\ > : 90GB (For installing Oracle Applications)
F :\> : 20GB (For Staging Area/Installation Files)

Note: Drive letters are optional except for C:\.

If you have a 160GB hard disk, you can use the remaining disk space 40GB as you like!!! For example storing your favorite songs, movies etc. Or if only want to work, then some material related to Oracle Applications!

Install Windows 2003 on drive C.

> Once the OS is installed, right-click on My Computer and Select Properties.

Create a Folder named Stage11i in F:\ Drive and copy the installation files in it.

Step III : Install Java

If you are installing version 11.5.10, there is no need to install external java. For earlier versions, you need to install the external java manually. Download the latest version of JDK and copy it into the hard drive. (For Ex. on F:\ Drive)

> Double-click the JDK icon to install the Java Development Kit.

> Click Next






















> This will start the JDK installation process.

Step IV : Install Applications

Ø Installation will now continue without any user intervention and if there are no disk problems, the installation will complete without any errors.

























Ø Now as you can see, program shortcuts are being added to the Start Menu.




















Ø But due to improper copying of files to the disk or disk related problems, installation may stop anytime during the installation. In that case, find out from the log files which file is corrupt, copy that file again and Click the button Retry. Don’t click on Retry Button before re-copying the corrupted file.


















Ø Here you can find out the log files.
