In addition to the suggestions for Cygwin and TightVNC:
Sounds like a good excuse to load up a spare PC with the linux of your
choice.
Or use a VMWare session to run linux.
Either can be used to run the Oracle installer.
From the Xserver machine ( your linux PC )
use xhost to allow an X connection from the Oracle box.
Assuming the Oracle box is frodo
$> xhost frodo.
use telnet or ssh to logon to the target machine.
set the DISPLAY to the Xserver (your PC - assume it is bilbo )
$> set DISPLAY=bilbo:0.0; export DISPLAY
$>xclock
If xclock worked, runInstaller should work.
This may be somewhat simpler if you use VNC.
HTH.
