RE: Creating staging area from Windows client

I did consider the download option but the part number differs from the CD I have in my hand and I'm not sure whether this reflects the different method of delivery or a slightly different build.

Cheers,
Mike

I have always had access to a local Unix box, inserted and tar'ed the CD's there. If you can't do the same, then go to otn.oracle.com and download it

All,

I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on a Solaris box but I don't have physical access to the machine in order to insert the CDs. I'd like to copy the contents of the CDs up to the target Solaris box and create a staging area to perform the install from. The problem is, I've got a Win XP client and when I copy the software across
runInstaller fails. I believe it's a problem with Windows' handling of the executable bit.

Can anyone suggest a workaround for this?

Cheers,
Mike Hately
