Hi all,
I am unable to open/start new TOAD freeware version 11.6. I am on Windows =
7 Professional, service pack 1. I have tried to be diligent and search onl=
ine, including TOAD forums, and so far I haven't found a resolution/answer.=
If I am overlooking something please let me know. Below are the steps I =
have taken:
Monday when I tried to open my TOAD for Oracle Freeware V11.5, it gave me t=
he message that "This version of Toad for Oracle has expired. You must dow=
nload a new version before proceeding." It had been approx. 1 week since I=
'd used it. I had downloaded the V11.5 in Sept 2012, so the year was not u=
p, so I assume it was simply the migration to a new version.
From http://www.toadworld.com/DOWNLOADS/Freeware/ToadforOracleFreeware/tabi=
d/558/Default.aspx , I initially installed the 64-bit version. It did not =
find my Oracle home, and then I realized my Oracle client is a 32-bit, so I=
uninstalled 64-bit FreeTOAD V11.6 and downloaded the 32-bit installer. I =
ran the installer and everything seemed to progress/install fine - I did no=
t get any error messages.
I then tried starting the application - from the desktop shortcut, from the=
All Programs -> Quest Software -> TOAD for Oracle Freeware 11.6 path, and =
by directly double-clicking the exe in windows explorer. In all cases, I =
see a very brief processing circle at my mouse pointer (~1 second) and then=
nothing happens.
I ran the same install again (double clicked msi file) and ran it in repair=
mode, thinking perhaps there had been some problem during the install that=
wasn't obvious. Same results/behavior.
Then I tried completely uninstalling it, downloading the 32-bit installer a=
gain, and running the install. Same results/behavior.
I think that's all the steps I took.
I appreciate any insights/suggestions/guidance you can share.
Thanks,
Candy
