Workarounds
~~~~~~~~~~~

Workaround 1:
1. Create a temporary directory on your server.

2. Copy the entire contents of the Oracle RDBMS Server CD
to the temporary directory created in step 1.

3. Search the directory structure created in Step 1 for the existence of
the filename symcjit.dll.

4. Rename each copy of the symcjit.dll to symcjit.old.

5. Run the setup.exe from the install\win32 directory (under the directory
on your hard disk used in Step 1) and install Oracle 8.1.x and related products.


Workaround 2:
If you continue to experience any of the symptoms after performing Workaround 1, follow these steps:

1. Copy the entire contents of the CD-ROM to a temporary directory
on your hard disk.

2. Search for all copies of the 'symcjit.dll' file both in and under the directory
from Step 1, and rename them to 'symcjit.old'.

3. Navigate to the \install directory and open the 'oraparam.ini' file for editing.

Please note this file is write-protected, and the properties of the file must be
changed to allow writing before editing.

4. Change the JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS parameter to

JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms64m -mx128m

5. Save the oraparam.ini file.

6. Navigate to the win32 subdirectory, under the directory you usedin Step 1, and run the
setup.exe program.

If you have tried Workarounds 1 and 2 and still experience problems, please
do the following:

Workaround 3:

1. Navigate to: Start> Settings > Control Panel > System

2. Select the "Advanced" tab

3. Click the "Environment Variables" button

4. Highlight the PATH entry and click "Edit..."

5. Copy down the current PATH setting.

6. Remove any entries that refer to previous JRE directories

Note: Care should be taken when editing the system path. Incorrect
edits can prevent Windows or other applications from starting properly.

7. If any entries were removed, repeat Workaround 1 or 2.
