Assuming that this version of oracle is comaptible with win2k, sometimes I get this problem. It means that some system file is coruppt. Try a repair install with your win2k cd. -----Original Message----- From: win2kforum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:win2kforum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Peter Greis Sent: Mon, March 26, 2001 2:57 PM To: win2kforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [win2kforum] Installer woes... Greetings Everyone, I am trying to install Oracle 8.1.6 Person onto my Dell win2k box. The installer starts when the CD is inserted, but I simply get an hourglass which quickly disappears when I click on install. Does anyone have any ideas? I have tryed installing just after reboot, shutting down services; nothing seems to work. Thanks in advance, -peter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
