      Hi Vinay
      Thanks for posting this .
      I'm trying to install Oracle SOA on my Windows 7 64 bit.
      For that I've started to download the Oracle DB Express Edition 11g but it is mentioned like " Does not work in Windows x64 ".
      Can you please let me know whether its worth to download and install 32 bit Oracle DB on 64 bit windows 7.

      Regards
      Vijay

      If in the step SOA Suite installation the command setup.exe –jreLoc C:\mw_home\jdk160_29 don't work use setup.exe –jreLoc C:\mw_home\jdk160_29 -debug. This argument work in Windows 7, when OUI stock and the setup won't start.
