Ok, thanks. It works.
But, I found that the version I have is only some patch for Oracle8i that
allows to install it to W98, not whole Oracle. That's why I thought that
it's all written in java.
I already ordered true Oracle :)

| Oracle Universal Installer for RDBMS 8.1.x
|
|
| Platforms Affected

| Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
| Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
| Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be affected.
|
|
| Description
| ~~~~~~~~~~~
| When installing Oracle *8.1.x Server Products with the Oracle
| Universal Installer on machines that use the Sun JRE and Symmantec
| JIT, the
| installer
| hangs.
|
|
| Specifically for the Windows platform, versions of OUI lower than
| 1.7.1.9.0 will encounter this problem.
|
| Likelihood of Occurrence
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
| Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
| Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT, OUI version 1.7.1.9.0 and earlier, will
| encounter this problem.
|
| Windows NT, Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to
| be affected.
|
|
| Possible Symptoms
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| The failure typically is that the affected application simply
| terminates.
|
|
| Workarounds
| ~~~~~~~~~~~
| Solution 1.
|
| 1. Obtain patch number 1507768 from Metalink
|
| 2. unzip the patch
|
| 3. unjar the contents
|
| 4. Go to the directory
|
|
|
| .\cd\Disk1\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30/1\DataFiles\Expan
| ded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll
|
|
| rename symcjit.dll to symcjit.dll.ori
|
| 5. Invoke OUI and install OUI to disk
|
|
| cd ./cd/Disk1/stage/win32/setup.exe
|
|
| 6. Use the installed OUI to install the RDBMS
|
|
| 7. Invoke OUI from the start menu, and install RDBMS software.
|
|
| Solution 2.
|
| 1. Create a temporary directory on your server.
|
| 2. Copy the contents of the Oracle REBMS Server CD to the temporary
| directory created in step 1.
|
| 3. Search the directory structure created in step 1 for the existence
| of
| the filename symcjit.dll.
|
| 4. Rename each copy of the symcjit.dll to symcjit.old.
|
| 5. Run the setup.exe from the \install\win32 directory and install
| Oracle 8.1.x.
|
|
| Patches
| ~~~~~~~
| Currently there is not a patched installer available to deal with
| this problem, one of the two workarounds listed above must be used.
