Very Computer

Hello,

I am trying to insatll Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows XP running on Pentium 4 with
256 ram. When I hit the Install button, the hourglass cursor appears for a
short period of time (2-5 seconds), and then the installation progarm
disappears.

Any idea what the problem might be.

Thanks

Bug with pentium 4.

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).

Christophe.

A Pentium 4 bug addressed in these usenet groups hundreds of times so far this
year. Either search at the group archives at google.com or go to
http://otn.oracle.com and look up the work-around.

The other problem ( besides the well known P4 issue)  you may have is that this is not a supported combination unless you
have XP Pro ...

I was just looking for a solution for the same problem since the one I found
directly at Oracle didn't work for me (i.e. changing some parameters in a
script to provide an explicit path)

After renaming the file as suggested by Christophe the installation
proceeded without a problem.

FYI - my installation includes Pentium 4 and Windows XP.
