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
