Install 11gR2 client on Windows 7 in the Program Files (x86) folder

854842Apr 12 2011 — edited Apr 14 2011

Hi,

We have a requirement to install the 11g R2 client 32bit on Windows 7 into the Program Files (x86) folder. We already have the 10g client installed into this location, and wish to keep the Oracle software in the same ORACLE_BASE location.

The installer fails with an error INS-32010 String contains invalid characters.

Is there a way to work around this, or are we going to have to change the ORACLE_BASE location?

Any help or experiences shared will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Alex
