Oracle 8i on Windows XP

Hi,

Has anybody successfully installed Oracle 8i on Windows XP?

Thanks & Kindest Regards,

Oracle 8i on Windows XP professional => Yes
Windows XP Home => No.

Does anyone know when Oracle plans to release(if at all) the XP Home compliant version.

I was able to install on XP Prof as well - the work around worked for me (renaming all copies symcjit.dll and then try running the install program from the install/win32/ directory) If you have access to a 9i install program, I've heard that using that to instal 8i works as well.

symcjit.dll problem is only with Pentium4, if you have XP on aother processor, you should be fine.

i have similar installation problems. If i click the oracle8i setupfile on the cd, it shows me one window. if i click in that window on "install products" then the application just stopppes.
Is there any solution for this problem?
I tried to run it in the windows 2000 compatibility mode but that doesnt work either.
Can anybody help me??
with kind regards,

Ilja

hi,

What i did was run the 9i installer then install the 8i DB which
i copied on disk.
