Oracle Database Discussions

Dear Oracle Xperts,

Can anyone guide me how to go about installing on Windows 7. I downloaded the 10.2.0.3 version. Its not installaing throwing the following error.

Checking operating system requirements ...

Expected result: One of 5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0
Actual Result: 6.1
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Problem: Oracle Database 10g is not certified on the current operating system.
Recommendation: Make sure you are installing the software on the correct platform.
=======================================================================

Checking physical memory requirements ...

Expected result: 256MB
Actual Result: 1406MB
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Passed
=======================================================================

Checking Network Configuration requirements ...

Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Problem: The install has detected that the primary IP address of the system is DHCP-assigned.
Recommendation: Oracle supports installations on systems with DHCP-assigned IP addresses; However, before you can do this, you must configure the Microsoft LoopBack Adapter to be the primary network adapter on the system. See the Installation Guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP.

I also installed the MS Loopback adapter.

Pls help me with any feedback

Thks and regards,
Indranil
