Oracle Forms 12.2.1.3.0 and FRM- 93552 on Windows

Posted by Dirk Nachbar on Friday, June 29, 2018
I recently had a project for installing and configure Oracle Forms & Reports 12.2.1.3.0 on a Windows 2016 Server. While the installation and configuration of Oracle Forms & Reports 12.2.1.3.0 went really smooth, I was hitting directly after using the Oracle provided Test Forms under http://:/forms/frmservlet the FRM-93552 error.

The official Oracle Documentation states that you have to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 (VC++ 11.0), but with this Version you will hit the FRM-93552 error message while calling your Forms.

You will need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2010 (VC++ 10.0), which you can find under following link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632



Just install the above mentioned version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2010, you can have multiple version of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package at the same time on your server.

After the installation of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2010 simple stop and start your Managed Server for Oracle Forms and the problem with the FRM-93552 error is gone.
