I have kubuntu 11.10 and I have to install a software developped only for windows XP or lower windows version, which uses oracle9i client (it seems it can not work with more recent version). This software has been developped by few people, and no help is available. I have a dual boot with widows seven but the installing CD is not working on seven.

It seems i worked well (wine java -version returns java version "1.6.0_23"). Then I from y CD I tried to run the setup.exe which is supposed to install Oracle9i client. But it did not install anything and stopped rigth away wit the following errors:

The installer is looking for a XWindows session.  Are you using the
Windows Oracle installer?
