I have installed Oracle (8i, 9i, 10g) on my WinXP laptop after installing jdk1.4.2 and did not run into this issue since as you mentioned, Oracle uses it's own JRE for installation (1.3.1 for 9i). Last entry in the error stack "java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid entry size" leads me to believe that he may have a corrupt jar file/s. This could occur during download/unzip of Oracle installation software.
