Oracle 8.1.7

[davenaylor2000]

Hi.
Im trying to install Oracle Client side on a Celeron machine running 2000. I seem to have come accross the bug that affects the P4. I have tried to use the bug fix 1507768 to get around this, but i have done something wrong in the process somewhere and the TNS and NET8* havent installed and this has caused problems on the machine,

If anyone has come accross this before and could help that would be great.

Regards

Dave

Without knowing more about the specific error(s), but knowing that Oracle failed to install, I'd start over. You can look in the oraInventory directory (install log) for errors that may have occurred.

Here you go.

1. Copy contents of 8.1.? CD to local HD.
2. Once copied, modify oraparam.ini file to read as follows (substitute the absolute path for your CD: drive) where D: is the local CD drive.

[Oracle]

3. Run setup.exe from C:\temp\install\win32\setup.exe with the CD still in the CD drive.


For more information see bug 1518935 on Metalink.

I forgot to point out that you must inset -nojit after JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS to turn off the Just In Time compiler. What's happening is the Java isn;t recognizing the P4.
