This article was previously published under Q194715

SYMPTOMS

When you install Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 on a DEC Alpha-based computer, the Testoraclexaconfig.exe diagnostic tool is not copied to the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder. However, when you install the service pack on an Intel-based computer, the file is automatically copied during the Setup process.

RESOLUTION

If you are installing the service pack on an Alpha-based computer and you are using Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) or Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) with an Oracle or XA-compliant database, copy the Testoraclexaconfig.exe file from the Service Pack 4 CD-ROM to the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.

The Testoraclexaconfig.exe file is located in the root folder on the Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 CD-ROM.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

The optional Testoraclexaconfig.exe diagnostic tool is used to ensure that Oracle software has been configured properly. Normally, it is used after configuring Oracle software on an Alpha-based platform to ensure that the Oracle configuration is correct.
