Checking operating system version: must be 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 or 6.0 . Actual 6.1 Failed

on 1:55 PM

Hi Folks ,

We got this error while installing Oracle 10g on Window server 2008 R2

when we run the setup.exe file by admin (Select setup.exe -> Right click -> Run as admin )  then , it throw this error:




Workaround :

After putting long hours the workaround is to modify the "oraparam.ini" file which is placed with Oracle setup files, in order to make compatible with Window Server 2008 R2.

Location : database\install\oraparam.ini




We need to add the below mention lines in oraparam.ini: 

[Certified Versions]
# You can customise error message shown for failure, provide value for
CERTIFIED_VERSION_FAILURE_MESSAGE
Windows = 5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0,6.1


[Windows-6.1-required]
# Minimum display colours for OUI to run
MIN_DISPLAY_COLORS = 256
# Minimum CPU speed required for OUI
# CPU = 300




Save the changes made to the oraparam.ini file and then run the setup file as administrator .



It's Working fine ,  i hope this helped you ! 

If you are facing any other issue , kindly comment below.

Hi,

I'm face problem of abnormal program termination in both Windows 7 & Server 2008 after required alteration in oraparam.in as you mention. Please help to install oracle 10.2g

Run it by using the option " Run as Admin" , most probably its a permission issue or issue with your anti virus/firewall.

In my case there were two oraparam.ini files. So try updating both the files with the required windows.
