|---------------|--------------|----------|
| “JInitiator not found” | Browser cannot detect JVM. | Re-run installer; check PATH variable. |
| “Version 1.3.1.22 required but 1.3.1.30 present” | Multiple JInitiator versions conflict. | Uninstall all others; remove older registry keys via regedit. |
| “ClassNotFoundException: oracle.forms.engine.Main” | Corrupted install or missing forms90.jar. | Reinstall; copy backup forms90.jar from a working machine. |
| “Application blocked by security settings” | Java security level too high. | Downgrade security to “Medium” in Java Control Panel (yes – not recommended but necessary). |
| “This app can’t run on your PC” (Windows 10/11) | 16-bit subsystem missing. | Use a Windows 7 VM – the 32-bit installer fails on pure 64-bit host without WoW64 tweaks. |
