Forms & Reports: How to install 11gR2 Forms and Reports Builder in Windows 7 64bit OS

It took some time for me to successfully install Oracle Forms and Reports Builder in my Windows 7 64 bit machine, because of the Java version and 32 bit/64 bit issues. So I thought I will add this to my blog, so that it will be useful for others and also for my future reference.

The steps are detailed in this excellent post: Installing Oracle Forms and Reports 11G Release 2

I will just mention the main points here. For the detailed instructions you can follow the above mentioned blog.


  • Install 64 bit JDK. I installed JDK 7u79 (jdk-7u79-windows-x64.exe).

  • Install Weblogic Server 10.3.6. Make sure that you download the Generic version (wls1036_generic.jar). I missed this point and wasted 2-3 hours :).

  • Install Oracle Forms and Reports 11g Release 2 64bit. I installed 11.1.2.2.0. (ofm_frmrpts_win_11.1.2.2.0_64_disk1_1of2.zipofm_frmrpts_win_11.1.2.2.0_64_disk1_2of2.zip)
