Re: Oracle 9i for Windows NT/2000 available for download on technet

Greetings Herman,

Thanks for the install info. I've been an OTN member for over 2 years now and have sucessfully downloaded many versions of Oracle software but am unable to get the 9i database for NT/2000.

I see your posting was from earlier last week and I tried both yesterday and today (9/21 and 9/22). I keep getting the generic "The page cannot be displayed" IE error message when I click on any one of the 9011NTSrv_DiskX.zip files.

Any ideas? What's your secret?
Thanks,
Diane
