Install Oracle Database 10.2.0.4 on Windows 7

Yes you can.

You need to amend below lines in "\database\stage\prereq\db\refhost.xml" file.

...........................................

........................................

And Also

You need to tweak the file oraparam.ini in "\database\install" directory.

There are at least two lines you either need to add or change. The first is

Windows=5.0,5.1,5.2,6.0,6.1

I added the 6.1

Next is

[Windows-6.1-optional]

I added that below

[Windows-6.0-optional]

Setup will now run. During the install you will get a warning about the OS version but you can "OK" your way through it. Here is the entire contents of the file after changes
