I have installed Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 on Windows XP Professional successfully. Installation steps is quite similar to the installation steps on Windows 2003 [1]. The only difference I did is

installing production environment instead of vision demo database.

I have done a single node installation as follows:

Hardware & Software Specifications:

- Intel Pentium 4, CPU 3.2 GHz
- 2 GB of RAM
- 180 GB Hard Drive
- Windows XP Professional with Sevice Pack 2

Installation Steps:

1) Install Windows XP Professional with SP2

2) Set 'Computer Name' as well as 'Domain Name'.

- Right click on 'My Computer' > Properties > 'Computer Name' > Change
- Set 'Computer Name' to <hostname>
- Click on More
- Set a 'Primary DNS Suffix of this Computer' to <domainname.com>

3) Install Microsoft Loopback adapter and define an IP address

(10.10.10.10)

For more information on how to do this, please refer to "How to install

the Microsoft Loopback adapter in Windows XP":

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839013

Manual installation
To manually install the Microsoft Loopback adapter in Windows XP,

follow these steps:
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
If you are in Classic view, click Switch to Category View under Control

Panel in the left pane.
Double-click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Next.
Under See Also in the left pane, click Add Hardware,and then click

Next.
Click Yes, I have already connected the hardware, and then click Next.
At the bottom of the list, click Add a new hardware device, and then

click Next.
Click Install the hardware that I manually select from a list, and then

click Next.
Click Network adapters, and then click Next.
In the Manufacturer box, click Microsoft.
In the Network Adapter box, click Microsoft Loopback Adapter, and then

click Next.
Click Finish.


4) Add a new entry in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts as follows:

<IP Address> <hostname.domainname.com>
10.10.10.10 hostname.domainname.com

5) From the command prompt, make sure you can do the following:

C:\> ping 10.10.10.10
C:\> ping hostname
C:\> ping hostname.domainname.com

6) Create a new user 'hsawwan' and make this user a member of:
- Administrators (local user)

7) Install Visual C++ 8.0 (Which is included in Microsoft Visual Studio

2005) in 'C:\VCPlus' -- Make sure not to install VC++ in a directory

that contains spaces.After the installation of Visual C++, Copy

LINK.exe from C:\VCplus\bin and past it into c:\WINDOWS\System32

Download 'Cygwin' and install the required packages:

- Create a Cygwin directory (C:\cygwin) -- Make sure not to install

'Cygwin' in a directory that contains spaces.
- Download the Cygwin Software (http://www.cygwin.com)
- Run 'Setup.exe' and choose 'Download without Installing'
- Select the following packages:

Archive - Default, plus manually select the zip package
Base - Default, plus manually select: ash, coreutils, diffutils,

findutils, gawk, grep, sed, tar and which
Devel - Default, plus manually select binutils, gcc, gcc-core, gcc-g++,

make and mktemp
Doc - Default, plus manually select cygwin-doc and man
Editors - Default, plus manually select vim
Interpreters - Default, plus manually select gawk
Shells - Default, plus manually select ash and tcsh
Utils - Default, plus manually select cygutils and file

- Once the download is complete, run 'Setup.exe' again and choose

'Install from Local Directory'
- Specify the directory where you want to install Cygwin (C:\cygwin)

and DOS as the Default Text File Type

9) GNUMake is not required when using 'Cygwin' since it comes as a part

of the 'Cygwin'.

C:\cygwin\bin> rename gawk.exe to awk.exe
C:\cygwin\bin> rename grep.exe to egrep.exe
C:\cygwin\bin> rename make.exe to gnumake.exe
C:\cygwin\bin> rename gcc.exe to cc.exe

10) Add 'C:\cygwin\bin' to the system path.

11) No JDK installation is required, JDK 5.0 (java version "1.5.0_08"

is bundled with Oracle Applications R12 installation.

12) Set Up the Stage Area:

Stage Area (C:\Stage12) requires a 26 GB hard disk space.

Extract the zip files (25 files) which have been downloaded from

(http://edelivery.oracle.com). Nothing special to do since the

extracted files will create the stage area directory structure by

itself. You should see the following structure under 'C:\Stage12' once

you are done with the files extraction:

- startCD > Disk1
- oraAppDB > (Disk 1 to Disk 35)
- oraApps > (Disk 1 to Disk 7)
- oraAS > (Disk 1 to Disk 2)
- oraDB > (Disk 1 to Disk 3)

13) Start the installation:

C:\> cd Stage12\startCD\Disk1\rapidwiz
C:\Stage12\startCD\Disk1\rapidwiz> RapidWiz.cmd

The installation wizard is similar to 11.5.10 RapidWiz. For 'VC++' and

'Cygwin' I have provided the following paths:

s_MSDEVdir=C:\VCPlus\VC
s_MKSdir=C:\cygwin\bin

- It took almost 2 hours to install the production environment (3 hours

when installing the Vision instance)
- Total space required to install the production environment is 60 GB

(153 GB is required to install the Vision instance)
