Re: Installation 8i and NT ??

I haven't experienced the same problem, but your error has nothing to do with the amount of RAM you have. The error is telling you that the program can not create the control file. I'm assuming this is happening when the installer is creating the database for you. Are there other accompanying messages? Some reasons that the control file can not be created might include:

1. not enough disk space
2. no privileges to write to the disk

Start with those!
