You need to use a patched Universal Installer to install 817 client on XP
Pro( XP Home is not supported). There is an Oracle Metalink article that
describes it. Basically the steps are:
- install 817 patched for XP Universal installer (2.2.12 if I remember
correctly)
- install 81700 client
- install 8173 patch. This is the mimimum release that Oracle supports as
an XP client.
