If this is XP Home Edition, then that could be part of your problem. Oracle is only certified for the Professional Edition of Windows XP.

Otherwise, your download could have been corrupted somehow. In the past, I just downloaded the component again and that fixed the problem. That being said, if you download from Technet today, you will only be able to get 10g, not 9i.
