Working with Oracle Forms Developer 10G on Windows 7 Pro x64

First problem is to install Forms 10G on Windows 7 (either 32 bit or 64 bit). Steps to achieve this are :

• Change Windows 7 virtual memory from automatic to manually since OUI do not recognize automatic virtual memory ( set it from 6000M to 12000M on 4GB Ram machine)
• In setup.exe change compatibility mode to "Windows XP SP2 (or 3)" and set "Run As Administrator"
• Ignore PSAPI.DLL errors for now. I did not come to any problems for now ignoring this errors.

Now you can run Forms, load new form and so on. But the problem is when you start OC4J Instace to run form locally (with default Forms Jinitiator) in IE8 or IE9 nothing happens. So i changed runtime to run froms with default JRE installed on system. To do so i changed in formsweb.cfg:

• baseHTML=base.htm --> baseHTML=basejpi.htm
• baseHTMLjinitiator=basejini.htm --> baseHTMLjinitiator=basejpi.htm
• jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2_06 --> jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet

With mimetype i ommit the version number so there is no need to instal JRE 1.4.2_06. Instead forms runtime process is using any JRE installed on system (in my case it is 1.7.0_21)

I read that on Firefox 12 version number is a must but did not tested that.
