Help: Orcale 8i installer fails to run on a Dell GX260 with W2K (2000)Server

[Salto Jorge]

Good Evening

Can anyone tell me what must be done to get the Oracle 8.1.7
client to install on a W2K server.

I downloaded the client from OTN. The client always fails
to run.
I was able to locate a CD for NT/2000 and it has the same
problem.

The computer is a Dell GX260

For that matter I could use a newer client than 8.1.7 if one
exists and will load.

I was able to install a 8.1.5 client but I am having jdbc
problems with it and WebSphere 5.0.2

From your post I have no idea what failed, when it failed,
or what error message you are getting. "Always fails to run"
isn't particularly useful information just by itself.

The installer does nothing and just goes away.

The computer is a DELL, gx260 "P4" inside.

It is the Pentium IV chip bug. Go to http://tahiti.oracle.com and
look up Pentium IV and 8.1.7 ... or just search these usenet
