Client Installation doesn't start

[Toralf Hauspurg]

Hi all,
I'm trying to install an Oracle Client 8.1.7 on a W2k Server box. But
after I start the setup.exe from CD or local there happens nothing. If
I start the setup exe from ..\install\win32 sometimes the first screen
appears and after a click on Install the screen disappears and it
happens nothing. I've installed this client on W2k Workstations and
WinNT Workstations again and again and it runs fine.
What is wrong with the W2k Server Installation?
regards
Toralf Hauspurg

Sounds like the Pentium 4 problem.
Here's the fix:

1. Copy the contents of the \install directory on your 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 directory you created in Step 1, 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 used in Step 1, and run the setup.exe
program.

Hth,
