Question

I am trying to install Oracle Express 11g, after I download the zip file OracleXE112_Win64 - I unzip it, and open Disk 1 then setup. I go through the entire install

Answer 1

Reading through all these answers, they failed to show the "correct" way of doing it according to Oracle.

Oracle is the only software company I know that heavily relies on custom environment variables. To add %HTTPPORT% to your environment variables, you first need to search for "System Environment Variables" in Windows. There, you should find a button "Change Environment Variables". In the new window, select "New" and type in HTTPPORT as name and 8080 as value. Now, log off and on again, and it magically works!
