Oracle client installation error - path too long

Question

I\'m trying to install Oracle 11g Release 2 (client). But it gives an error like that :

Environment variable: \"PATH\" - This test checks whether the length          


        

Answer 1

But, if you don't have unnecessary paths / repeating paths and you can't shorten it(beware! if you delete some necessary paths it can affect corresponding services!), go by removing some paths before oracle installation and return them after the installation.

Or, you can manually ADD the oracle path string in the system PATH variable(add it at the start of the string, not at the end) for your oracle installation. As example, if you're installing Oracle 11g R2 in the path "c:\ora" then typically the path string for this will be, C:\ora\product\11.2.0\dbhome\BIN -for server and C:\ora\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN -for client. :)
