Re: 8.1.6 install on NT vanishes

Steve,

I had the same problem before. Very frustrating. When I had this problem, it was due to the fact that I had the wrong environment variable setting for the CLASSPATH variable. You can modify this variable by right clicking on My Computer, choosing Properties, and selecting the Environment tab. I ended up having to remove all Oracle references from this variable. If that leaves the variable empty, you'll need to leave a semi-colon ";" as its only value. After I did this, the installer worked just fine for me. Welcome to the world of Java.....

HTH,
Brian
