Hi,

I am getting the same error ORA-01503, and I am not even using controlfile scripts! I am just installing Oracle on a fresh Windows 2000 server machine, and after installing all the (Java-laden) stuff, the installation suddenly breaks everytime with "Control file error" and then the database cannot be created!

I am trying this with the Oracle 8.1.5!! IS there something I need to do for windows 2000 compatibility??

Please let me know at your earliest..this is very urgent! Thanks very much in advance, much appreciated!

Good day,

Billy
