Hi,
Your post gives very little clues to what you are exactly trying to
accomplish. Are you trying to install a client only, or a full product.
If you have Oracle 8 Server: it won't run on Win95. You need Personal Oracle
8.
Normally a database is automatically created in the installation process,
unless you explicitly specify you don't want it.
The error message 12560 is a generic error message, usually signifying a
driver is not installed or not working properly.
However there usually are associated error messages. We need to have that.
Check your sqlnet.ora in %ORACLE_HOME\net80\admin
for the following lines
trace_level_client = user (or 16 if you want to see everything) trace_unique_client = true trace_directory_client = <Your oracle home>\net80\trace.
