Following window displays exact version of Oracle 10g forms developer -

Answer 1

My favorite "solution" is to install VirtualBox, put Windows XP onto it, install Developer Suite and use it without problems. When I change the computer, I simply copy the virtual machine onto a new PC, save myself from yet another (and another, and another ...) painful installation process and use Forms (& Reports) instantly. I'd suggest you to do the same, if you want.

Answer 2

Standard forms 10 installation is made for windows XP. There are some problems opening this installation on windows7. On oracle support are patches available to fix this problem.
