Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows 2000

[Queyon]

I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 EE on Windows 2000 with service pack 2. Once I ran SETUP.EXE, the GUI window doesn't show up and doesn't return anything.

What's wrong or anyone has met the same problem?

Thanks.

if it´s pentium 4 you have to download a patch from metalink

Yes, I'm using Pentium 4.
But I can find the related patch.
Do you have the web link of the patch, if you don't mind?
Thanks.

Look at the document (ID: 131299.1) on Metalink.

Key Words: Oracle Installer and P4

Another quick work around is to copy the install CD to a new folder on one of your hard drives. After you have done that, search for symcjit.dll and rename any copies that it finds. I renamed them symcjit-old.dll. Then double click on the setup file in directory ...install/win32 (under the new Oracle folder).

This worked for me and was very quick.
