How to install 8i ODBC drivers into XP pro

[jimbo905]

My secretaries HD crashed - bummer. I got a new HD running XP pro with SP3. I have installed 8i client using the OUI (at first I had to rename symcjit.dll to symcjit_old.dll ). All the components appeared to install.

I used OUI to install the 8i ODBC drivers but when I go to
ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS/DATA SOURCES >>>SYSTEM DNS tab
and try to add the 8i ODBC driver set it does not appear in the list

Using Oracle's KB I found a list of all the files created by the OUI when it installs the drivers - I tracked the existence of these files in Windows and Oracle subdirectories and they are there.

Is there another way I can get this driver set to appear in the list by going through some 'backdoor' ?

I fixed it using another XP pro system on our network.
I went to that PC and copied the registry entry for ODBC - took that to the non-functional PC and imported that registry component.
POOF - the Oracle 8i ODBC drivers appeared in the drop down list and were selectable, I picked them and instantly my application was able to see the Oracle DB on our network.
