Oracle 11g FREE download installation issues

779708Jul 15 2010 — edited Jul 18 2010
I am installing this database on an HP Pavilion Desktop

I essentially have TWO (2) issues.

1st ISSUE
I was able to successfully run the setup.exe and my Oracle 11g is now installed.
When I go to start, programs, Oracle, Application Development, SQL Plus
it opens a windown for SQL plus, however, I am not able to do anything.
I followed the install instructions about setting up the ODBC drivers, however I still
can not get this to work. Would also like to know how to set access to this up as a desktop icon.

2nd ISSUE

Acording to the README..for the Oracle Enterprise Edition, I was only required to download
V20610-01 Part 1 of 2
V20610-01 Part 2 of 2

V20609-01
V20606-01
V19145-01

The Oracle Fusion Middleware download V18762-01 they said was OPTIONAL (O)
Because I was having problems with the install where it was coming up with errors about
not finding files, I downloaded ALL the ones from the list which were for 64bit INCLUDING Orcale Fusion Middleware.
Only then did my install work properly.

What I need to know is, on a desktop where I will be the only user,
IS THE ORACLE FUSION MIDDLEWARE REQIRED?
If NOT, and I completed the install, what will happen if I delete that folder (size is 11G)?
Please advise!
