Installing of Oracle 8.1.7 on Win2000, Pentium 4 ?

[BobGie]

Hi there,

I can't install my Oracle RDBMS 8.1.7 on my Windows 2000 Advance Server
(Pentium 4).

When I click on the Install/De-install options, the Oracle Universal
Installer window won't appear, and I just can't proceed. Is there a bug for
this version of Oracle (8.1.7) ? If there is, how do I go about it, how can
I install Oracle on my machine?

Any inputs will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi there.

It would certainly help if you read my reply to your previous thread on the
same subject:

Please refer to MetaLink
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_datab
ase_id=NOT&p_id=131299.1. Easiest workaround is to:

- Copy your CD-ROMs to the harddisk.
- Rename each copy of the symcjit.dll to symcjit.old.
- Run the installation from the harddisk (Disk1\install\win32\setup.exe).

HTH.

Finn -

Yes, indeed. BobGie didn't seem to like your answer before, and so he/she/it
just had to ask again. He/she/it reminds me of a child who, not getting
the answer he wants from Mom, runs off to ask Dad the very same thing.

BobGie, Finn is on solid ground with his advice. This is a well-known problem
discussed many a time in this newsgroup.
