Thanks for clarifying your situation. Since XP is based (at least
loosely) on NT, you should be ok ... though Oracle only supports XP Pro
(not XP Home) ... though that just means you can't call and complain ...
but some posters on this NG have successfully installed it on XP Home.
You won't see Oracle Client as a separate download. You install Oracle
Server (Enterprise or Standard) and about the 3rd dialog box in the
install, you can choose to install the client only (if I remember, you
can choose something like the Developer client or some other options).
