James - you could be running into a known issue with installing Oracle8i
software on a P4. Here is a plain-text section of our internal
documentation of the issue:
Subject/Title: Installing Oracle software on Pentium 4 computers
Category: Oracle, Oracle Client Software ITS area: Administrative
Information Systems
When trying to install some Oracle8i software on a PC with a Pentium 4
processor, JREW.EXE may fail to launch the installer successfully. This is
because the Symantec Just-In-Time Compiler (symcjit.dll) does not recognize
the processor type. To work around this, do the following:
1. Install the latest Windows* 2000 Service Pack patch:
2. Create a temporary directory on your Intel Pentium® 4 processor server
(e.g. \TEMP).
3. Copy the contents of the Oracle* Server CD to the temporary directory
created in step 2.
4. Search the directory structure created in step 2 for the existence of the
filename SYMCJIT.DLL.
5. Rename each copy of the SYMCJIT.DLL to SYMCJIT.OLD.
6. Run the SETUP.EXE from the \TEMP\install\w in32 directory and install
Oracle 8.1.x.

OK.
>
From the little bit I've read you all seem to know what your talking
about. I on the other hand am simply a lowly Hardware guy. I need some
help w/ the client install for Oracle.
>
Trying to install it on a W2K pro system.
>
When I go to ...\install\win 32\ and run setup, It gives me the hour
glass for about 5 seconds and then dissappears. NOTHING HAPPENS!?!?!
>
If I go to the autorun directory and select autorun.exe, It starts up
with its little introductory screen. Installer/Deinstaller, browse this
CD, and another one.
>
So I click on Installer/Deinstaller and i get jrew.exe has generated
errors and will be shut down by windows.
>
Now whats weird is I go to another machine (Not the same Model PC but
the same OS Image) and run it and it works fine. It will let me install
it all day long on a different Machine.
>
The machine I am trying to install it on have plenty of resources. That
can't be the issue. Unless of course there is an issue with a specific
piece of hardware I have installed.
>
Can anyone help me out???
>
Thanks
