When installing Oracle SQL Developer (after having already installed Java JDK), the first run of Developer requests to "Please specify the path to the Java JDK home".There are no problems selecting the JDK folder manually, however I am wanting to automate this part of installation/initial start-up.
Setting Environment Variables JAVA_HOME and/or PATH to the JDK location (or the bin folder) does not alleviate the dialogue.
Is there a way to automate the selection of the JDK folder during installation / before first run of Oracle SQL Developer?Otherwise is there a location, the value input into this dialogue is stored?
According to this post, it appears that as of Oracle SQL Developer Version 4, "...to accommodate shared Windows machines, we now look into the roaming profiles directory in the Application Data folder". By running a batch file to edit / automate writing the installed Java path into this file, it is possible to automate the initial dialogue box (well, make it disappear).

Downloaded the Oracle XE and Oracle SQL Developer to my home computer (Windows) to learn PL/SQL. I use PL/SQL Developer at work but never set it up.
I downloaded the Oracle SQL Developer and all went well with the download. Got it working in the application view but when trying to run the sqldeveloper.sh I get errors showing up on the screen. The error reads:
The JDK 'C:Program' is not a valid JDK
The JDK specified by the SetJavaHome directive in
/c/../../.sqldeveloper/21.1.4.1/product.conf
Type the full pathnmae of a JDK installation (or Ctrl-C to quit), the path will
be stored in /c/../../.sqldeveloper/21.1.4.1/product.conf
I opened the product.conf file and added:
SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\Java\jdk
and did not work, so changed the directives from '' to '/'
SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\Java9.0.4\jdk
and still does not work. I even uninstall the version I downloaded first with without the jre and downloaded and installed the version that came with the jdk 8. I read through the post on stackoverflow and tried the solutions but nothing.
Please help
A couple of items to note:
To launch SQL Developer in Windows, you will want to launch sqldeveloper.exe, not sqldeveloper.sh
When you go to the SQL Developer Downloads, if you download Windows 64-bit with JDK 8 included you will not need to specify the path to your Java installation because it will come bundled with the installation.
If you choose to download Windows 32-bit/64-bit, you will then be prompted for the path to your JDK home when you first launch SQL Developer so you do not need to edit any configuration files or environment variables.
I was trying to get Oracle SQL developer working on my computer. It prompted me to select my JDK and I selected my v12 JDK. When I try to start I get...
Where that blacked out part is the JDK12 url. I tried using the sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf file using the setJavaHome variable but it doesn't seem to help. I don't have permissions to regedit but my gut is telling me there is a registry value set somewhere.
How do I reset the JDK in Oracle SQL Developer using Windows?
I renamed my JDK12 folder and started the app. It was then reprompting me for the file location of the JDK. Then I changed it back so my env vars didn't need updating.
We don't use the Windows registry, but your gut isn't far off.
For windows, it's defined in your product.conf file found in your OS User's AppData, Roaming Profiles folder.
For Mac/Nix, it'd be in $HOME/.sqldeveloper
Windows:
Where you see 1.0.0.0 will represent the version of SQL Developer you need to configure the Java home for. I think 1.0 translates to version 4.0, and everything after that should be same as the actual version. I have a 19.4.0 directory for version 19.4 for example.
And a Java12 home for SQL Developer, at least for recent versions will work just fine.
My product.conf for version 19.4 is set to
SetJavaHome C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.2
I might have installed the wrong version of Oracle SQL Developer (Version 4.1.4) on my Win 10 laptop. So I want to uninstall it and install a newer version.
Any idea what´s the easiest way to do it?
Find the directory it was unzipped to, e.g. C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper, though it could be anywhere - quite likely in your downloads directory; and just delete that entire sqldeveloper directory.
There is no installation as such, it's just a Java application sitting in a directory.
Settings are held under your personal home directory, and when you unzip and run the later version (18.2 is current) you'll be asked if you want to migrate those settings, which will include any connections you've already defined.
Read more in the 4.1 documentation.
It is not installed so you can't uninstall it. To remove it from system do following:
Delete base directory, where you unziped it (where you run it).
Delete your user connection data - folder C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SQL developer
If you don't have any other oracle software, delete your user configuration data - folder C:\Users\<username>\Oracle
I'm on a Windows 7 (64-bit) box and do not have admin rights.
It appears from the MongoDB download page (see http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/) that the latest version only an MSI install is available (no zip version).
I tried running the 3.0.4 MSI. I clicked custom so I could change the directory to install to. I used %USERPROFILE%\MyProgs\MongoDB-3.0.4, so no admin rights would be needed. It ran for a bit but then prompted me to enter admin credentials. I hit escape (like clicking on X at top right) to close the window. On other MSI installs this has worked. I tried it again and clicked "No" but in both cases received the message
MongoDB 3.0.4 2008R2Plus SSL (64 bit) setup was interrupted.

This article does a GREAT job going through how to install MongoDB on Windows:
How to install mongoDB on windows?
My observation is that v2.4.14 is the last version that is available via the ZIP format. So for now, I'm using that version.
Is there any other way to install the MongoDB version 3.X MSI without admin rights?
NOTE: On the MongoDB Download page https://www.mongodb.org/downloads there is a link titled View Build Archive (it sends you here https://www.mongodb.org/dl/win32/x86_64-2008plus-ssl, and that site lists *.zip formatted files). I thought I had found my own solution to the question, but when I unzipped the files, and added the "bin" to my path and ran the programs (mongo, and mongod) I received an Windows Dialog that says:
mongod.exe - System Error
The program can't start because LIBEAY32.dll is missing from your
computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem
I stopped here and posted this question. Thanks for any help.
For now I'm using the version that supported the zip format (v2.4.14) and that version does work.
NOTE2: The v2.4.14 zip formatted install doesn't have a file named LIBEAY32.dll), or I might have tried using that file with the newer version.
Yes, it is possible to install the latest MSI (including the one with SSL) without admin rights via command line.
msiexec /a mongodb-win32-x64-3.2.5.msi /qb TARGETDIR="C:\MongoDB"
This will copy the binaries into C:\MongoDB\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin
I dislike long paths like that, so I create a symlink inside the folder:
cd C:\MongoDB
mklink /j bin C:\MongoDB\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin
That will create a soft link as C:\MongoDB\bin (which you can add to your PATH environment variable).
mongo --version
mongod --version
Both should return version 3.2.5.
You can do this with most packages, we have to do similar with Python 2.7 and Node 4.4.3 MSI packages on work computers that do not have admin rights.
You can download the "legacy" version which is the unsigned non msi version as a zip. The disclaimer is listed as
The 64-bit legacy build does not include SSL encryption and lacks
newer features of Windows that enhance performance. Use this build for
Windows Server 2003, 2008, or Windows Vista
The 3.0.5 version is https://fastdl.mongodb.org/win32/mongodb-win32-x86_64-3.0.5.zip
The latest version is available as zip download.

Download and Unzip into folder where user has permissions e.g c:\users\xxx\mongodb.
Enter the path to bin folder (e..g c:\users\xxx\mongodb\bin) into the
environment variable 'PATH'. To access path variable press Win + R
and then enter rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables.
Select Path and click edit. Then enter new and there enter the path
to bin folder. Click OK and OK to save and exit.
Check Mongo version from command line using command mongo --version.
Note: Don't forget to create db folder in C drive that is required for mongo to work locally. All set.
I'm completely new to Microsoft installer and have installed advinst.msi, and I'm wondering how to use it.
I have to group Jboss where my Java application is deployed and postgres database and want to create an .exe file and deploy it to clients windows system.
Where the client can run the .exe file and start the application.
The Jboss package you can add a as a prerequisite. This will make Advanced Installer to install it when you install your application, see the link from above.
To deploy a database you have two options. Either you execute an SQL script that creates and populates it, as in this SQL scripts execution tutorial, or you deploy directly the binary files of your database, by placing them in the target folder from Files and Folders page, as you do with a normal file. The second option will make your installer to copy the files into the desired folder upon installation, so you database manager/explorer can access it.
To have all this bundled into a single executable you need to go to Media page and set the package output type to "Single setup EXE". From there you can also customize the EXE name, icon and output folder.
