Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> 8i Enterprise install (WinNT) creates 8.0.5 'compatible' database?
I downloaded the evaluation kit for 8i Enterprise Edition and have been trying to install it under Windows NT (both NT4 Server and Windows 2000 Server)
I take all the defaults, but when the install is finished, the default database that is created doesn't appear to be the right version. If I pull up the DBA Studio and look at the initialization parameters, under "compatible", I should see "8.1.0". Instead, I see "8.0.5" -- therefore, when I try to install the WebDB 3.0 early adopter schema, it fails.
In addition, if I try to create a second database with the Database Configuration Assistant, I get an alert box that says: "The correct version of the Oracle CD is not found on this system. Insert the proper Oracle CD."
What the heck's going on here?
