Turtle,

If you installing Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 or 8.1.7.0.0 instead of clicking on setup.exe, try <cd-rom>:\install\win32\setup.

Check your memory reqierements and temp space before start. The release notes provide good guidelines for that.

Otherwise you should not have any problems installing on W2K.

Hope that helps.
