Excuse, I lost track of the colon.. there should be NO colon following the closing tag in the below snippet. This is the correct snippet:
<CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>
...
<!-- Microsoft Windows 7 -->
<OPERATING_SYSTEM>
<VERSION VALUE="6.1"/>
</OPERATING_SYSTEM>
</CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>
Sorry for any inconvenience caused...
Cheers,
Tony

Sandy,Yes, we had the same problem, but on 64-bit. You need to use the 11g client for Windows 2008 Server - Windows7 is compatible only with W2008. Unpack the zip file and in the file ..\stage\prereq\client\refhost.xml you need to add these lines in the Cerfified Systems section , e.g. below the Vista entry:<CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS> ... <!-- Microsoft Windows 7 --> <OPERATING_SYSTEM> <VERSION VALUE="6.1"/> </OPERATING_SYSTEM> </CERTIFIED_SYSTEMS>: Then the installer should work normally.Note that this hack will work, but your installation is still not certified ;)Cheers, Tony Around 9/02/2010 6:57 AM, Sandra Becker said:My new DBA was given a Windows7 32-bit pc. She has not been able to get an oracle client to install/work for her. She said she saw something that said to ignore the pre-req checks but it didn't work. I didn't hover while she tried so I don't have the exact message. Has anyone seen this? Any suggestions? She needs the client in order for other software to work.-- Sandy Transzap, Inc.
