Problem Installing Oracle 8i on win 2000

[rick01]

I have a problem, when I try to install Oracle 8i on a computer running Win 2000 pro, when the installation CD autoruns and I select the Install option, nothing happens even though I have installed on another with the same specs and didn't have any problems?

What could be wrong???

Anyone willing to help??


Please!!!!

Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) for RDBMS 8.1.x Hangs on Machines
with Pentium 4 Processors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Versions Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle Universal Installer for RDBMS 8.1.x


Platforms Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be affected.


Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
When installing Oracle *8.1.x Server Products with the Oracle
Universal Installer on machines that use the Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT, the installer
hangs.


Specifically for the Windows platform, versions of OUI lower than
1.7.1.9.0 will encounter this problem.

Likelihood of Occurrence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT, OUI version 1.7.1.9.0 and earlier, will
encounter this problem.

Windows NT, Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to
be affected.


Possible Symptoms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The failure typically is that the affected application simply
terminates.


Workarounds
~~~~~~~~~~~
Solution 1.

1. Obtain patch number 1507768 from Metalink

2. unzip the patch

3. unjar the contents

4. Go to the directory


.\cd\Disk1\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30/1\DataFiles\Expan
ded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll


rename symcjit.dll to symcjit.dll.ori

5. Invoke OUI and install OUI to disk


cd ./cd/Disk1/stage/win32/setup.exe


6. Use the installed OUI to install the RDBMS


7. Invoke OUI from the start menu, and install RDBMS software.


Solution 2.

1. Create a temporary directory on your server.

2. Copy the contents of the Oracle REBMS Server CD to the temporary
directory created in step 1.

3. Search the directory structure created in step 1 for the existence of
the filename symcjit.dll.

4. Rename each copy of the symcjit.dll to symcjit.old.

5. Run the setup.exe from the \install\win32 directory and install
Oracle 8.1.x.


Patches
~~~~~~~
Currently there is not a patched installer available to deal with
this problem, one of the two workarounds listed above must be used.
