Hey Connor, kludges make the world go round! I've got it installed just by making the following files executable :

  /tmp/scratch/817/disk1/runInstaller
  /tmp/scratch/817/disk1/install/solaris/runInstaller
  /tmp/scratch/817/disk1/lsm/lsminst

and I haven't seen any problems so far. I think the fact that most of the installer is Java means that this problem affects the bare minimum of files.

Thanks for the suggestion, though I was trying to avoid that solution =)

Now I have to try the same thing with 9iAS !

Cheers,
Mike

Its a kludge but have you tried chmod 777-ing the entire stage area after copying?
