    Installing Oracle Discoverer Administrator/Desktop 10g on Vista (updated June 1,2009)

    Be sure to review and follow Metalink note # 564739.1 as part of this install!

    Download the Oracle Business Intelligence Tools 10g (10.1.2.0.2) from OTN. (as_windows_x86_bi_tools_101202.zip)
    (Note this is a 600 MB file to download).

    Download patch 5983622 (Microsoft Windows (32-bit)) (Note this is a 1.7 GB file to download).
    Download Patch 6153245 (Microsoft Windows Vista (32-bit)).

    Unzip the patches on the local drive (note this could take a while due to the file size).

    Note: I have noticed that when trying to install from a directory with a long path name, the install fails. I'm not exactly
    sure how long of a path name triggers the issue, but I have been successful unzipping to/installing from c:\oracleds10g
    and c:\oraclesoftware\BI Tools 10g. So I'd suggest creating a similar directory in the root c:\ and unzipping/installing
    from there.

    Here's the issue I got when installing from a directory with a long path name:
    Navigate to the directory where the patch 6153245 was unzipped. If the defaults were accepted during the unzip
    process, the directory is likely named: p6153245_101202_MSVista. Edit the Patch_Location\101202-iDS-oui-
    patched\Disk1\install\oraparam.ini file.

    Add the parameter "SHOW_CUSTOM_TREE" under [oracle] section:

    SHOW_CUSTOM_TREE=true
    Oracle Installer Part I

    From the same directory with the oraparam.ini (where 6153245 was unzipped), run setup.exe to start the Oracle
    Installer.

    Be sure to execute the setup.exe as Administrator.


    The installer will execute, click Next.
    When the installer prompts to specify the Source file location, CHANGE IT to the path of where the
    as_windows_x86_bi_tools_101202.zip was unzipped to (this is the base 10.1.2.02). The full path should include
    \stage\products.xml. The default destination (BIToolsHome1) Name and Path are acceptable to leave as is.
    For Installation Type, select Custom, then Next.

    Deselect the components other that Discoverer Administrator and Discoverer Desktop. Click Next.
    The following Summary will appear, click Install.
    The installation process will execute.

    Upon installation completion, the following window will appear, click Next.
    Click Finish.

    Click Exit.
    Click Yes.

    The following web page will spawn.


    Oracle Installer Part II, installing the patch.

    From the Disk 1 directory where 6153245 was unzipped, run setup.exe to start the Oracle Installer. Remember to 'Run
    as Administrator'.

    Click Next.
    When the installer prompts to specify the Source file location, CHANGE IT to the path of where the
    p5983622_10123_WINNT.zip was unzipped to (this is the patch 5983622). The full path should include
    \stage\products.xml. Update the destination to be the same path as Part I was installed to. Note the default Name
    and Path will likely show as BIToolsHome2. Click Next.
    Select the Oracle Application Server and Developer Suite 10g Rel 2 Software Update option, click Next.
    The summary window will appear, click Install.
    The install and configuration progress will be shown.
    The Installation of the patch should complete. Click Exit.

    Click Yes.
    Discoverer should now be included in the start menu and should execute.
