Hi Calvin,
Apparently, there is an issue with installing Discoverer Administrator on Vista.
According to http://learndiscoverer.blogspot.com/2009/10/vista-installer-availabled-for.h... there is a patch for it for vista 32 bit systems. But you will require a metalink account download the patch.
That, or u just change the OS as you had suggested.
However, this is what I'd try first:
It is the OS that reports the version as 5.1, 5.2 or in this case as 6.0 In Linux you can change the release infor to what the oracle installer expects.
For windows, just right-click on the Setup.exe in the Install directory and select the compatibility tab and then check the 'Run in xp compatibility mode'
That ought to do it.
Tell how it goes
Mr. Lawi

Hi Calvin, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Home Server, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 are all based on Windows NT and so your Oracle BI Discoverer software is looking for the appropriate version of this. Best thing to do is to confirm what version of the BI tool you have and the check the release notes for this version plus install guide all on the Oracle website. Essentially what Mr. Lawi suggested. Also you could check this for the Windows NT versions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT.

Go to OTN page, you will get the appropriate version(s) for Vista there.
Vista and Win server 2008 often share the installation files but u can confirm there.

Hi Techies,
I have been trying in vain to install Oracle Bi discoverer in a windows Vista OS but I get such a message,
checking operating system version: must be 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2 actual 6.0 failed>>>>
Anybody who has successful installed the same in Vista or do i have to downgrade to XP,
Regards
