RE: 9i install on Win2K

Mark,

You can install on a P4, but you may have to do the workaround on metastink. Let me know if you don't have access to metastink cuz I can send you this work around.

Thanks Charlie!

Unfortunatley I don't have access to MegaW@*k, so can't check for anything like this. Do you know if the case is simply:

You CANNOT install 9i on a P4 - at all.. say no more.. full stop..?

Is the a "way around" or not?

Cheers for your help

Mark

I believe this is a "known bug" where OUI does NOT run on a P4. You might want to check MetaStink.
