In new installs of Oracle Forms and Reports 12c, there is a known report where running Oracle Forms in Internet Explorer for the first time is causing the following error:
“Windows has blocked this software because it can’t verify the publisher.
Name: forms/
Publisher: Unknown Publisher”
This is because the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) download is being blocked by security settings in Internet Explorer. To bypass this error, you will either need to manually install a 32-bit JRE or have your system administrator install a 32-bit JRE for you. Unless the Forms environment’s formsweb.cfg is configured to use a specific JRE version, you should use the latest version of JRE which is version 8 update 77 as of April 2016.
