Re: Need Help with Installation of Oracle 8i Enterprise Ed

Thank You for the information you provided. It proved invaluable. I finally found the reason why I was having all those problems with JREW. Once I reformatted and put the patches for NT SP5 and SP6 and did not install IE5 (unlike the last couple of times) - the install worked fine.

Thank You
