RE: ORACLE INSTALLER PROBLEM

 JR,
I'm not on SUN, so this may be a shot in the dark. Are java and the OUI at the right versions? I believe the current requirement is 2.2.0.18 for OUI and at least 1.3.1 for jre/java.

Anybody came across this error when starting up the Oracle Installer? (SUN Solaris 8/ Oracle 9i) Oracle client has already been installed on the machine and we're trying to run the Installer to check what was installed.

% Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /tmp/OraInstall/jre/bin/jre. Please wait...
Exception java.lang.NullPointerException occurred.. java.lang.NullPointerException
