Question

I am trying to install Oracle Express 11g, after I download the zip file OracleXE112_Win64 - I unzip it, and open Disk 1 then setup. I go through the entire install

Answer 1

I encountered this error too, it occurs because %HTTPPORT% isn’t part of the system variables yet.

The solution to this is NOT by manually typing in the url to your browser, which works but you have to keep doing it every single time.

Simply goto “this pc” or “my computer” right click on it and select properties, then select “advanced system settings” When the new window comes up select “Environment Variables...”

Now under system variables click new to create a new system variable. Type HTTPPORT into the variable name text box, Then type 8080 into the variable value text box. Click OK, close the windows and logout!

Thats an important step, make sure you log out. When you log back in, click the get started icon again and it will open without errors.
