Re: Oracle client won't install on Windows 2000

Hi
I am guessing that he has a P4 cpu in the system and you need to do the following. There is also a new installer to overcome this as well but don't have the info at hand there is more on Metalink

ORACLE ON PENTIUM 4 CONFLICT | by Liviu Obreja

Here's a quick tip: The installation of Oracle8i on a Pentium 4 computer will exit without any notice. The reason for this is that the Pentium 4 architecture has problems with the Just In Time installer. To fix this problem, just find all copies of the file symcjit.dll and rename them to symcjit.org. Then the installer will work. Copy the installation CD to the HDD and make the changes, then install from the HDD. Voila!

One of our developers is having a problem installing Oracle Client
(8.1.7).  When he inserts the CD the initial screen comes up with the
options to Install/Deinstall products, Explore CD, Browse Documentation.
When he clicks on Install/Deinstall, however the Oracle Installer never
comes
up.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Thanks
