Oracle Forms and Reports for Windows 10

Question

While installing forms and reports for Oracle 11g R2 I am facing the following error:

Checking operating system certification status failed.

I am using Windows 10 x64, forms and reports version is 11.1.2.2.0. During the web search, I found that Windows 10 is not included in any Certification Matrix of forms and reports. Is there any solution or I must switch to some other OS version ?

Answer 1

You should have an oraparam.ini or param.ini file in the installation directory. Within that file, there should be a Certified Versions section with something like:

Windows=4.0,5.0,5.1,5.2

You can try adding ,10.0* or just ,10.0 to the end, save the file, and restart the installation and it should finish installing. But that doesn't necessarily mean it'll work. I never had much success getting Forms Builder to work on Windows 7 and always had to revert to XP Mode.
