Hi Tom,
Thanks very much for your reply. Here are the details: (which are very much the same that I have read all over the place):

As soon as I plop the 9i install CD into the drive, it auto runs and I click INSTALL. Within a couple seconds, I get a message:

"The Java Runtime Environment was not found at c:\docume~1\admini~1\locals~1\temp\orainstall\jre\bin\jrew.exe. Hence, the Oracle Universal Installer cannot be run. Please visit http://www.javasoft.com and install JRE version 1.1.7 or greater and try again."

I had this problem on an existing server so I did a BRAND NEW installation of Windows 2000 Server and then applied SP3. Still same problem. The processor is a PII-366. What could be wrong?

I've followed all the steps I have found so far:

I've tried copying the install disks to the hard drive.
I've tried renaming the symcjit.dll files (all of them).
I've made sure that all the files are not read only (since they came off of

the CD-R)
I've tried downloading various versions of the JRE (from 1.1.8 to 1.4) I've read the installation .PDF included on the CD.

Thanks for any suggestions. I wish I could just get the darn thing to INSTALL!! But if the installer won't run, what am I to do??
