Bill,
I was just looking into this yesterday and just for info, the note now includes 3 workarounds, I've included the 3rd workaround below:

Workaround 3:
If you continue to experience any of the symptoms after performing either of the workarounds above, follow these steps:

Copy the contents of the \install directory to a temporary directory on your harddisk.
Search for all copies of the 'symcjit.dll' file, and rename them to symcjit.old'.
Go to the \install directory and open the 'oraparam.ini' file for editing. Please note this file is write-protected.
Change the JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS parameter to

JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m

5. Save the oraparam.ini file.

6. Start the installation again.

Change Record

This alert was modified 23-January-2002 by adding Workaround 3, and it was edited to improve clarity.

This alert was modified 14-May-2001 by modifying the versions affected section to a generic RDBMS version and adding a simplified workaround.

This alert was modified 16-January-2001 by specifying specific Oracle Universal Installer Versions in the the Versions Affected section.

Regards,
Bruce Reardon

I've got 8.1.7 running fine on a Celeron (P3?) with Win2k. I just did a install out-of-the-box and it ran fine. You might run the task manager and observe what's running on the system as you install.

Just my $0.02.

Cheers,
Mike

I know there have been issues installing 9i on P4 boxes, but does anyone know why I would not be able to start the 8.1.7 Oracle Installer on W2K after getting the initial splash screen? The splash screen disappears and after a few seconds, the CD drive winds down.

The 8.1.5 CD I have works OK. The installer starts normally.

I know the hardware and the CD media I'm using are good, as they work OK with other media / devices.

I'm wondering if I need to upgrade or change the Java Environment on this box?

cheers
David McVeigh
