Install Oracle Developer Suite 10g on Windows 7 (64bit)

Recently, I got a task to install Oracle Developer Suite on Windows 7(64bit), but there seems lots of hassles to achieve this goal. There is a thread on Oracle forum on that topic. Here I log what I did to get it installed on my Windows 7(64bit) with 8G RAM.

• extract the setup files (version 101202) downloaded from otn.
• right click the install\setup.exe property, set compatibility to Windows XP SP2
• edit the virtual memory size to custom size from 1024m to 8000m, restart it
• run the install\setup.exe

Hope this helps.

Creating platform specific apps for .Net development

Creating platform specific apps

Most of the language compilers (like C#) now offer a /platform switch. By using this switch, developers can create binaries targeted for a specific platform type or binaries that are platform agnostic. There are four types of binaries that are emitted

· anycpu – platform agnostic

· x86 – 32-bit platform specific

· x64 – x64 platform specific

· itanium – IA platform specific

Please refer to Moving from 32-bit to 64-bit application development on .NET Framework.
