Re: Installation 8i and NT ??

Hi Brian,

thanks for your response, but unfortunately the reason for my problems seems to be different:

1. I have more than 3 GB free on my disk
2. I have administrative priviliges

Yes it's correct, I always get the problem, when the Universal Installer is creating my database.
There comes an OK-Button with the error message and later on I get the message, that the database isn't mounted. Do you think a new installation of my NT would be helpful. OK, that would take another half a day, but that would be worthwhile for me if it would work later on ...

Unfortunately I have to get this working for writing my Master's Thesis. I need the SQL-XML-mapping from
Oracle 8i and I'm just not willed to use Microsofts SQl Server 2000 ;-))

Thanks for your effort,

Mike
