From our in-house docs:

When trying to install some Oracle8i software on a PC with a Pentium 4 processor, JREW.EXE may fail to launch the installer successfully. This is because the Symantec Just-In-Time Compiler (symcjit.dll) does not recognize the processor type. To work around this, do the following: 1. Install the latest Windows(R) 2000 Service Pack patch: http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/

2. Create a temporary directory on your Intel PentiumŪ 4 processor server (e.g. \TEMP).

3. Copy the contents of the Oracle(R) Server CD to the temporary directory created in step 2.

4. Search the directory structure created in step 2 for the existence of the filename SYMCJIT.DLL.

5. Rename each copy of the SYMCJIT.DLL to SYMCJIT.OLD.

6. Run the SETUP.EXE from the \TEMP\install\win32 directory and install Oracle 8.1.x.
