Oracle Database Discussions

I have downloaded the 2 zip files for Oracle Database 11g Release 2, Standard Edition, Standard Edition One, and Enterprise Edition windows 32bit. I am using windows vista on my laptop. I unpacked and installed the software.

I was getting issues with this installation but found when I turned off my firewall it install completely with no error messages,

I went to start the program but found that I was having problems with the password, I had entered the password I set up on installation, then I found in the start menu it shows a universal installer. I thought perhaps the password error is due to me not having installed it completely yet. So I have clicked on that, however I am now getting the following issue:



ok call me thick but just looked at the dbase folders installed in my start menu and there is a universal installer there, I have clicked on that and it has come up with an error,

OUI-10150:error:A runtime exception occurred while setting s_dlgCfgNamingLabelSIDnul in component Oracle Database 11g 11.2.0.1.0 Installation cannot continue for this component.

then it asks to tick one of the boxes:

Stop installation of all products or
Stop installation of this component only.



How do I fix this to continue with the installation.
