Re: Infamous JRE Installation Problem with 9i Again. :-(

I'm using these steps because they are what I have found in messages saying they fix the JRE problem. In all my reading, I haven't found a single message that has said these steps are only for P4. Additionally, most of the complaints I have seen aren't even listing P4 as the processor on the system in question. Lots of messages are on systems with other than P4 chips, like PIII, II and even AMD. It also doesn't seem to matter on the OS. I see people complaining about this with both Windows and Linux. There are a lot of messages like this on Oracle's installation forum.

It just seems crazy that the installer on what is considered a professional enterprise database would be so buggy. I can't even find instructions for a manual install. I even did a brand new Windows 2000 installation and Oracle still wouldn't install. :-(
