Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)

Hi,

I have problem during XE installation on Windows 2003 R2 SP 2 Enterprise edition. I have uninstall the oracle xe and the result still the same. Finally I uninstall the windows and start all over again, surprisingly the result still the same. FYI, we normally has no issue during installation because this is part of our system we sell to our customer which require oracle xe. This is the first time we have seen this issue.

ORA-01034 : Oracle Not available
ORA-27101 : Shared memory realm doesn't exist.

Oracle XE and listener services is started in the windows services.

if we try to do startup the following message occured.

SQL> connect /as sysdba

Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup
ORA-44412: XE edition memory parameter invalid or not specified
SQL>

I can send you the oracle_xe log, init ora, and OpsBuildAll.log to create the database.

When we compare with the working installation, we saw that the size of oraclexe folder is less, it's just 233MB while the working one is over 1GB. After investigation, found out that the .dbf files is not avaiable in the oradata folder, i have tried to copy those files from the working one but the problem stay the same, probably there are a lot of files more missing.


Appreciate your help on this.

Thanks,

Agus
