RE: Problems with patchsets to 8.1.7.0.0 on Windows 2000

Hi,

May be you are not using Administrator account. Or the patch set is installed after you click on it, You can do
in your oracle_home
dir /s/p/od

it will sort by date which file is the newest.

Sorry, I just a beginner, can't help much.

I have Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 running on a Windows 2000 Pro (sp2). I tried to install
the 8.1.7.2.1 patchset according to the "readme" directions (shutdown all Oracle* services first, etc.), but when I try to run "setup.exe", nothing happens. The icon flashes momentarily after being double-clicked, but nothing
ever actually runs. I tried it a number of times. Then I tried it with an older 8.1.7.1.1 patchset - and the exactly same thing happened. These patchsets
are for "Windows NT", but I assumed they would work for 2000 as well. (Am I wrong in this assumption?) Does anyone have any experience with this and/or workarounds?
