18XE for Windows Service won't start

Richard LeggeMar 26 2019 — edited Aug 23 2019

Hello.

XE 18 64 bit on Windows 10 Home & Professional,

Ive tried installing XE a few time with the same result.  It appears to complete OK, and I go to services,  OracleRecoveryService is running, as is also  OracleOraDB18Home2TNSListener.

However I can see OracleServiceXE, but it isn't running, and I cant start it..   I check the properties, and its path to executable. is: e:\app\5646\product\18.0.0\dbhomexe\bin\ORACLE.EXE XE   (note Im installing to E: as I have no space on C:)

When I look in e:\app\5646\product\18.0.0\dbhomexe\bin   there is no ORACLE.EXE  file for it to run.

Ive deinstalled and reinstalled 4 times now, with the same result.  Any ideas on why this file would be missing, and how I remedy it?

(By the way, doesn't actually cleanly deinstall, and I had to go into the registry to removes entries and services before I could reinstall)

p.s. I downloaded 18xe just today.

If anyone can advise?

Many Thanks

Richard
