A quick follow-up.

I installed Oracle Univ. Installer on Windows 2003 server. The path to its setup.exe is :
E:\program files\Oracle\oui\install

The path to Oracle 9i client setup.exe is : D:\oracle client installer - 9i

If I run ....oui\install\setup.exe, and specify : D:\oracle client installer - 9i\setup.exe as its source path, I get an error message :
D:\oracle client installer - 9i\setup.exe is either a directory or is a corrupt file.
Am I specifying the source path correctly?

While Oracle's download site does not specifically say that 9i client is available for Windows Server 2003, a support page by microsoft does suggest that 8.x client can run on Windows 2003 Server. Check : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826961. And if Oracle 8x client can run on Windows 2003, Oracle 9i client should be able to run, too. Received on Mon Oct 08 2007 - 18:38:02 CDT
