Installing Oracle7 Server for Windows NT

Before you install Oracle7 Server for Windows NT software on your
Windows NT server, perform the following tasks appropriate to your
installation.

For the first time installation of Oracle7 Server for Windows NT on a
server containing no previous version of an Oracle Server, verify that
the volume on which you plan to install the Oracle7 Server for
Windows NT exists and has enough disk space (see System Requirements
in this Chapter). Choose a volume with a dedicated disk drive (if
possible).

If you are re–installing Oracle7 Server for Windows NT over a previous
release of Oracle7 Server, shut down the database and back–up all
database files.

Oracle7 Server for Windows NT cannot run

simultaneously with previous releases. Ensure that earlier
versions are not running before you install or run Oracle7
Server for Windows NT.

Oracle Installer detects previous Oracle7 Server installations. Oracle
Installer attempts to use the same volumes, company name, and
language when installing Oracle7 Server for Windows NT. You can
accept the default information provided by Oracle Installer or provide
new information.

You will receive an error message during installation if

your Windows NT server previously contained Oracle
products and the volume containing those products no longer
exists. To complete the installation, delete the ORACLE_HOME
line from the Windows NT Registry, and rerun Oracle Installer.

   For information on migrating data,

see Migrating from Earlier Releases later in this chapter.

Oracle7 Server for Windows NT and Oracle7 Workgroup Server for
Windows NT cannot co–exist.
