I wish I were more of an "Installation guru", at least half of what I am (or consider myself to be) a Forms guru … there are still wide technical areas that I do not master enough.Through the above command, and the list can be found. When the moment will arrive, I will gladly look into all the problems / hacks, but, I will still have to find somebody from the DBA team "in a good enough mood" and having the time to deal with such a "hacked installation" ( or maybe, however, installing on WIn7 using XP mode will work ). As far as I understood, the migration to Forms11g is not actual at this moment because of the installation problems related to the Application Server, which is required for 11g, while for 10g we only use the Forms component, without the Reports and without a complete Application server installation, which is therefore simpler. We do not use Oracle Business Suite, therefore, in our firm Forms10g is not considered as a product that stands in the center of attention, though, there are some very important applications that use it. Unfortunately, I was not "involved enough" in any tests that were performed (or not), to see exactly where is the problem. My opinion is that before you decide on any change, you should check very thoroughly "how life will look" AFTER that change, so, this is why I am trying to understand where exactly are the problems that prevent a normal and standard installation of Forms10g on a Win7 machine. Regarding Forms, I have a long history behind, including some version upgrades / configurations that theoretically were NOT supported by Oracle, but which were very successful. ![]() We use a lot of hacks, me especially, including some database hacks, for solving problems that Oracle support would even not dare to solve or to advise us to do what we do … I was the *ONLY* one who did not agree to such an arrangement, so I kept my machine with Win XP, with the conviction that until I will not be able to continue to develop on my own machine, things will stay as they are. The firm decided to upgrade *ALL* the client machines to Win7, and Forms developers continue to develop on a *SERVER* machine. In my case, it was MY decision, and NOT that of the firm. ![]() Hopefully, I will soon have a Win7 machine for my personal home use, and then maybe I will be able to better understand what exactly is best to do. Some more time ago they also performed some tests related to the WebLogic server, for a possible attempt to upgrade to Forms11g (which is compatible with Win7), but not yet finalized, so this will probably not happen in the near future. ![]() This is also the main reason that I still remained with my old XP machine, the alternative was to always connect to another server for development, which is very inconvenient for me. Unfortunately I depend on ny DBA team for performing installations, and they were those who tested and decided that Forms10g cannot be installed on Win7. I know that hacks also do exist, but I’m afraid that if we go this way and then encounter any kind of problems, then we will get no support, because Oracle "does not officially support Forms10g on Win7". It sounds that my supposition was correct, once I know that an "XP mode" is available in Win7, I also thought that using this mode is the most standard way to continue to use software that is only certified for XP. Thanks a lot to Chuck and Raj for your valuable information.
