Without a proper context (what are you starting? what is "your app"?) it's impossible to give a suggestion.

Hi,

are you trying to install oracle on 64 bit windows server?

did you install J2SDK 1.4.2_15 x64 or higher before installing oracle?

for installing J2SDK 1.4.2_15 x64 check Note 941595 - Download J2SE 1.4.2 for the x64 platform

regards,

kaushal

Hope this will resolves your issue, otherwise please let me know.

Thanks

Are you trying to install on an Itanium-2 processor server?

Hi Markus,

Yes, installation in windows server itanium, below step by step before installation:

1. Install the following Microsoft HotFixes:

924668 (Base/Driver)

924672 (Network)

924671 (MQ)

924670 (MMC)

924669 (IIS/Index)

copy 5656176\OraInstaller.jar Disk1\stage\Components\oracle.swd.oui.core\2.2.1.8. 0\1\DataFiles\Expanded\jlib

rmdir /S Disk1\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.4.1.0.0o\1\DataFiles\Expanded

mkdir Disk1\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.4.1.0.0o\1\DataFiles\Expanded

xcopy 5656176\Expanded Disk1\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.4.1.0.0o\1\DataFiles\Expanded /s

C:\TEMP\OUIIA64\disk1\sapserver.cmd

PROBLEM: change parameter in oraparam.ini JRE_LOCATION to c:\j2sdk rather than <DRIVE>:\ORACLE\<SID>\920\jre\1.4.2

C:\temp\OUIIA64\5656176\setup.exe instead

choose EPQ920 and path = C:\TEMP\OUIIA64\ora9206\Disk1\stage\products.xml

if required, stop oracle services (listener and database)

and than, the first start sapserver.cmd can not running.....

Note 986578 specifies to use the Java in the Oracle subdirectory - any reason why you use the Sun provided one? It may not work...
