I think I've seen this before, it certainly sounds familiar... I've no idea what causes it, but I found a workaround was to only install a small number of components at a time - for some reason, that seems to work.
Let us all know if you come up with a better solution.

I am having a problem on a couple of client installs. I have Oracle 8.1.7
to be installed on NT 4.0 SP6. The install starts out fine, I select a
Orahome and then it starts to install. When it gets to 90% all of a sudden
the install wizard screen just disappears without any error messages. I can
see that it created a new directory and copied a bunch of files to the hard
drive. I can even double click on the SQLPlus icon and it launches asking
me for a username, password, and database.
Then if I put the client CD back in and click on the "show installed
components", it tells me that there are no Oracle components installed. I
look in the registry and a registry for Oracle has been created. I have
done this about twenty times and get the exact same results. I even tried a
different CD but that does not change things.
During the install Oracle will write to a log but this log tells me nothing
except what it installed, without one stinking clue as to what is causing
this to puke.
I get this just on two PC's with identical results. Has anyone seen this
before? I can go to other PC's and install without a hitch. These PC's do
work and have plenty of disk space.
Any ideas, ,,,,,,,anything?
Thanks,
Dave
