JUST SETUP A DUAL BOOT OF WINDOWS 2000 PRO AND WINDOWS XP PRO
AND MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER!!!

Remember, "Windows .NET Server 2003" (the precise term used by
Bill Gates recently) is the next evolution of the kind of
production platform that Oracle server needs to run on,
--> NOT XP
(which is a desktop platform)!!!
XP is the desktop "Whistler", whereas Windows .NET Server 2003
is the server version of "Whistler".
Oracle will probably have the same problem with "Longhorn",
which will be the next evolutionary step in the desktop
progression after "XP".

Anyways, according to one report, to make "pre-9i" ORacle
software work on XP, copy everything from the install CD to
hard disk, remove the "read only" attribute, and run the
installer from there.
???
Or use Oracle db v 9.0 or 9.1 ? (which are certified on
XP *PRO*)
(Or get a cheap test box, and install Windows 2000 Pro!)
According to a developer product manager guy at Oracle_at_UK, the
reason that XP is not currently supported for db 8i (or more
precisely, for Patch11 of the Developer stuff) is that there
are some concerns about compatibility of "required support
files" on XP.
