What versions of Windows will work?
The UMCal Windows Desktop client requires one of the following versions of Windows:
- Windows 2000
- Windows XP (Home or Professional)
Important:
Administrative privileges are required to install Oracle Calendar
desktop client in Windows 2000 and XP. |
Important:
Upgrading from a previous release of the Oracle Calendar desktop client
must be done using the original profile, meaning the user who originally
installed the application. To upgrade your installation correctly, you
should upgrade using the account that was used to install the previous

was performed for you). Otherwise, you need to
uninstall the Oracle Calendar desktop client using the original account,
before reinstalling. |
