Hi,

I have to install Ora Client on Pentium 4, XP Professional machines.
These machines will connect to an Oracle 8i Server.
Now there are some questions in my mind.
1-8i client available on Oracle's download pages is mentioned to be for 2000/NT. For XP won't it work?
On some forums ; I've read messages saying 8i client can be used on XP, but some messages saying only 9i client will work. Which one is true?
2- Of course, P4 problem. Is it needed to download some programs from Sun's site(JVM? ... )

I need help from those who knows the exact answers..
Thanks..

for p4 issue
1. Copy the entire CD to a temp directory in Harddisk
2. look for the filename symcjit.dll.
3. Rename each copy of the symcjit.dll to symcjit.old.
4. Run the setup.exe from the Harddisk.
