install 9i R2 on Windows XP
Hi,
I try to install 9iR2 on Windows XP, I get the following error:
'Error in writing to Directory C:\Temp. Please ensure that the directory is writable and has at least 32 MB disk space. Installation can not continue.'
I am sure the temp directory is writable. The user I am using has computer administrator privileges.
Any help is appreciated.

From a checklist on installing Oracle on Windows:
Do you have at least 75MB of free disk space in C:\TEMP?
Oracle needs space in the TEMP directory as it installs. The Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) requires up to 75MB of space in the TEMP directory, as defined by the NT environment variables TMP or TEMP. Please note that moving the TEMP/TMP settings to another drive (non C:\) may not resolve this issue.
Similar problem:
You may obtain an I/O error on C:\TEMP when the Installer has reached the point of Oracle product install.
Solution Description
--------------------
Check the permisions on C:\TEMP.
1.- Go to Start/Program/Windows NT Explorer
2.- Put the mouse arrow on the directory C:\TEMP
3.- Choose the properties option
4.- Remove the check mark from Read_only
The space allocation of 75MB is not for the 8i version but for the 9i version when it is being upgraded from 8i to 9i within the same maching requires any such kind of pre allocation of memory?
Just a suggestion required.
your reply appreciated.

Try changing the environment variable for temp.
On the desktop right click on my computer>properties>advanced tab>environment variables.
Chane the value of TEMP C:\temp to c:\DIR_NAME or E:\DIR_NAME and TMP c:\temp to c:\DIR_NAME or D:\DIR_NAME
Not sure about XP but works on NT and 2000.
This way you can make oracle use some other directory as temp dir.

I do agree there is nothing with the DIRECTORY name in as TEMP or
TMP, but do definetly carries a lot with the XP version.
The problem was actually while upgrading the database from 8i to 9i especially, the memory allocation comes into vogue.
Is there any limitation for 9i on XP OS?
Thanks
