Install JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.0 Demo/Standalone on Windows Vista (x86 / x64).
There were many guys who were asking on how to install JD Edwards EnterpriseOne™ 9.0 on Windows Vista. I also did see that many of the Google© searches on the same topic did lead users on to this website. So I guess there are many people who are just downgrading their systems only to use or try the Standalone.
Basically, the Oracle document, and their customer support does mention that Windows Vista / Windows 7 or even Windows Server OS are NOT supported for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demo/Standalones.
But, yeah… there are workarounds for every software thingy. I would like to mention couple of them all FREEWARE solutions on installing EnterpriseOne 9.0 Standalone on to your Windows Vista machine.
Yes, one thing, you will have to go through the installation steps given in the EnterpriseOne 9.0 Installation Guide in this website.
Method – 1
- First thing you can try doing for your Windows Vista direct Installation is to turn off your UAC or what is called as User Access Control.
- This is the annoying little thing which comes on Windows Vista, while you try to do any File operation, like deletion, installation, moving, and sometimes even copying.
You can turn off the UAC via your User settings on the Control panel
Go to Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Accounts
and turn off the UAC.- Similarly, switch off your Firewall, as it may interfere with your Local Oracle HTML Webserver.
- Also make sure that you have all your other Windows Monitoring softwares like Windows Defender, Firewalls, Malicious Activity Monitors, Antivirus Sofwares, and other Spyware softwares turned off.
- Now Edit the Windows Hosts File located at “C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts” This has to be done so that your Web Version opens up.
- If the following entry exists
::1 localhost
then comment out the line by adding a # before that. - If the line does not exist, then too you need to add the same
#::1 localhost
The above is a IPv6 entry.
- If the following entry exists
- For SQL Server version of E9, there’s a problem with Vista. The Default password for sa does not meet the password complexity as per the Vista policies. We may fix it by the following steps.
- Go to Administrative Tools / Domain Security Policy :: Security Settings | Account Policies | Password Policy
- Change “Minimum password length” and “Password must meet complexity requirements” set to “Not Defined” state.
OR
Modify “Minimum password length” to zero and “Password must meet complexity requirements” to “Disable” - ***Please Remember to turn back the settings to its default after you Install the E9 Demo.
- Once this is done, go ahead and try the Install guide step by step.
- Go to Start – RUN – REGEDIT, and then Find
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ TypeLib\ {EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B}\1.1\0\ win32\
If it is set to IE6, the value shows c:\windows\system32\ shdocvw.dll – where c:\windows is the Windows install directory.
If it is set to IE7 or IE8, the value shows c:\windows\system32\ ieframe.dll – where c:\windows is the Windows install directory.
Change the registry to use the IE7/IE8 ieframe.dll; then EnterpriseOne 8.12/9.0 applications work with IE7/IE8 without issues on Windows Vista/7.
Method – 2
- This is the best worked solution for EnterpriseOne Demo/Standalone Installation of all, and Yesss.. It Does work.
- Only Cons of this solution is that it needs two extra OS/Softwares to run the Demo
- Virtual Server
- Windows XP Pro.
and that this solution works a little slow unless you have pretty good RAM (2Gb atleast).
- The Virtual Server I used for the Installation is the Sun VirtualBox.
This Virtual Server, you can turn your PC into an easy-to-use virtualization platform, the enterprise-class open source software that runs on all major operating systems.
You can run any number of Virtual Machines on your machine for test purposes.
There are many free Virtual PC/server softwares available, like Microsoft Virtual PC. But I liked the VirtualBox the most, as Virtual PC does not support Linux oriented OS’es- Once you download and install the Virtual Box, you need to create a New Virtual Machine with the given Specs
- RAM = Atleast 1GB
- HardDisk = 11GB
It takes about 8-9Gb for EnterpriseOne itself…! - Display (Video) = 12MB
- Once created, you may install Windows XP Professional on to the Newly created virtual Machine. The installation goes as you would do on a normal system. So no worries, during Format and so, as this creates an entirely different File in the VirtualBox, and not on your Vista system.
- Please use Legal copies of Windows XP only. I do not encourage using Pirated versions of any software just to see you guys scoffing off huge fines.
- Change the performance Settings of your Windows XP to High Performance, and themes to Windows Classic.
- The Final screenshot shows how you should be able to see the Virtual PC once Windows XP is installed.

- Once Done, you may proceed with the same EnterpriseOne 9.0 Installation Guide on this website.
Please do reply with your comments on your install experience.
The solution is removing the next line in the windows host file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
::1 localhost
This is an IpV6 entry. Put a # in front of it. “
Instead of commenting this IpV6 entry adding the following IpV4 entry above this line also helps:
127.0.0.1 localhost
or
Commented out the line
::1 LocalHost
with a # in the hosts file and it now works.

Hi Deepesh
I’ve forget to tell you that I have this error when I run OH4A1013_setup.
“The Java compiler (JDK) was not correctly installed. This will prevent the Web Development environment from functioning correctly. Please contact your administrator to copy and configure the necessary files on your local machine after the installation process is finished. The JDK should be placed in C:\E900\system\oc4j\system folder. ”

yes! yes! it works! woo hoo!!! thank you!!!!
I need to install Standalone in Window 7, May I use these instructions?
I got the error message at jdeinst:
CInstaller::UpdateJDE_INI: Configuration error for INI update. The error message was ‘Compiler Install Path not found in registry’
I got the these errors from access some of the website and wonder I need to steup IE option or Norton Security setting.
I also have messages said:

When I access to Visual Studio I got message said “Adminsitrator Permission are recommended for running Visual Studio 2005 SP1″
Thank you in advance for any help
SL90403, First and foremost, you need to have Administrator Permission for anything to install and start. Make sure that your login has admin privileges. Now, Switch off the Antivirus, Firewall & all pop-up blockers. In Windows 7, you can set the UAC level to “Do Not Notify when changes made….”
Now, if you have an instance of Visual Studio on the machine, make sure that it is accessible, and that UAC does not stop it from doing. I guess, once you switch off the UAC, and get Admin privileges for the account, you may be able to start the installation.
Yes, I found out that too. I also need Serive Pack 1 for Visual Studio 2005 Thank you for your answer.
Now I can sign into E1 and go to OWM but I can not access to web. I got message “Widnow can not find c:\E900\System\oc4j\startoc4j.bat make sure you typed the name correctly and the try again”
I also can not find JDBj.INI file. Should I reinstall? Thanks for your input.
I would like you to read the Post on JDE E9 Installation article in this website – http://www.deepeshmd.com/enterpriseone/jd-edwards-enterpriseone-9-0-demo-installation
Also do read all the comments in the same as it might help resolve some of your questions for the same issue.
I was able to resolve my issues by
1. • Run the OH4A1013_setup.exe for the web server located in “C:\E9Standalone\TEMP\ThirdParty\WebDevFeature“.
2. Change jdbj.ini in C:\E900\DEMO\ini\sbf and E900\System\OC4J\j2ee\home\applications\webclient.ear\webclient\WEB-INF\classes directory.
Thanks for your input.
sl90403…What did you change the jdbj.ini to in those folders referenced in #2?
I continue to get a Security Server Kernel error. I have installed the Oracle Standalone version. Thank you for any advice you may have:

Hi Heath,
From your comments, it seems like a JDENET Error. Either the JDENET is not initialized, or does not have privileges. Make sure that you run the ActiveConsole.exe in Administrator role.
Give some time after the login screen comes & before you enter the password and hit enter. Also try 2-3 consecutive logins, with 1-2 mins in between.
Thanks so much for your help. If there is a way to create an attachment, please let me know. I tried to supply only relevant log information.
Hi
i have installed E1 9.0 and MS Sql server 2005.But when i try to login i get an error as ‘ Unable to update necessary components’
Please let me know if anything has to be done from my end.
This is an emergency !!!
Thanks
Prasanna
Hi Prasanna,
Which operating system are you on? It is essentially the SQL Server components which the OS is trying to update.
You need to have Admin permissions on the machine you are in, to complete the necessary setup’s & start the services. If the services are running fine, then check if the ODBC connections are created, and are pointing correctly.
Hi Deepesh
My OS is Windows 7 and the sql is server is Microsoft sql. Please let me know hw to check with the ODBC connections
Hi Prasanna,
To check the ODBC connections – go to Control Panel – Administrative Tools – Data Sources (ODBC).
Here on the System DSN Tab you should be having ODBC connection with the E1Local SQL Server instance for DEMO. Verify the ODBC connections and try if it connects successfully. If the ODBC does not exist create a new ODBC connection with name – DEMO, and Server pointing to the E1local instance running.
I have Win7 Pro and have the exact same error as poster sl90403, with the fat client working but not the web client. The error is “Widnows can not find c:\E900\System\oc4j\startoc4j.bat make sure you typed the name correctly and the try again”
It seems he solved his problems in his later post. But he didn’t elaborate his step two fix. I pasted his fixes below. Anyone know what he did in step two?? I have reinstalled over a dozen times still to no avail. Any help is greatly appreciated.

1. • Run the OH4A1013_setup.exe for the web server located in “C:\E9Standalone\TEMP\ThirdParty\WebDevFeature“.

Hi Mike,
Compare your jdbj.ini files at the locations specified by sl90403 with these uploaded files http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KXFIR45S. I’ve prefixed the JDBJ.ini files with the folder name where its found.
