While attempting to install Oracle Database 11g Release 2 on Windows 7 (64 bit).
Encountered following the error (PRVF-3929)
It states that the environment variable path is too long. To reach this variable I searched "envir" in Windows and selected "Edit variable settings for your account". Presumably it's the path of the system rather than user that must be changed.
Can I delete at my discretion - naturally removing extensions will have a bearing on different language compilations. Why does Oracle demand this limit and is this specific to the install of Oracle or is it a permanent limitations of using oracle dbms?
This limitation is based on older Windows restrictions, where length of environmental variables was important. This limitation is still there in the Oracle installation.
Work around this:
Good luck!
