I know there are differences between the different flavors of Windows, but it certainly doesn't feel like it. I remember installing a 9i EE Database on XP Home 6 or 7 years ago, that was kind of fun.
I'll stop blathering on.
OBIEE: 10.1.3.4
Host: Ubuntu 9.04
Virtual stuff: VirtualBox
Guest OS: Windows Vista Ultimate
From what I understand, OBIEE was originally intended for Windows (Server) environments. All of the client software runs on Windows only. The Server software runs on both *nix and Windows.
So no matter what, I could not avoid a Windows installation. Part II of Installing on OEL would be "Installing the OBIEE Client Software", which is this post. I will not only be installing the Server components, I will be installing the Clients Applications too.
I'll stop blathering on...part II
I've already installed Java 6.
I've located my setup.exe file and start the installation

Now, go into your Services applet. To get there, go to Control Panel --> Administrative Tasks. There you should see an icon that says Services. Scroll down until you see the services that begin with Oracle.

All of these are stopped (trust me).
First up, start the Oracle BI Java Host Service

Good.
Now let's login. On the right side of that page, click on Launch. Enter the oc4jadmin password you submitted during installation.

hi,
i'av installed the Bi tools n i'av followed the whole procedure you'av told but wen I want to go to the web page: http://localhost:9704,the browser doesn't open the page :s
hi sarah,
which version were you trying to install? 10.1.3.4 or 11g? i just finished installing 11g so i don't know much about it.
if you installed 10.1.3.4, was the oc4j container running (usually in a separate shell window).

You've made a tedious process a little less painful. I don't like going through all of the steps required to install anything on my computer.
I don't like learning that such and such software is required as a prerequisite before I can put what I really want on the system. However, the images you used helped a lot.
@Adorama,
Glad it helped, but I have to ask, why are you installing 10g?
