Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 on Win2k: stalls during installation: 85% "Database Configuration Assistant"

For that past few weeks, I have not for life of me been able to get Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 (free download) installed on my Win2k box.

I can install it just fine on the same box inside of a Vmware WinXP Pro instance, or any other box, but not mine. Mine had Oracle 8.1.7
(Enterprise - not the free download) but I have uninstalled it.

When I install Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 (using "Personal"), it goes fine until the screen where you select your database (General, Transactions, none, etc.). (No matter what I select) I click next, and it runs some calculations, the bar at the top gets to 85% "Database Configuration Assistant" and then locks up. My only option is to click the x in the top right and quit the installer.

Since I can install it just fine on a new box, then I know that the reason this is happening has something to do with the sofwtare I already have installed. Can anyone recommend a course of action (rather than nuke-and-repave)? Thanks,

Dan Browning
