About a month ago I posted the problem (detailed below) in this Newsgroup. With lots of help from Newsgroup readers, I finally solved the problem, as detailed below.

It turns out that, although all the Oracle INI files specified "c:\temp" as the temp directory, Oracle instead looked at a Windows environment called "tmp". The environment variable "tmp" in turn pointed to an invalid directory. Resetting "tmp" to point to "c:\temp" solved the problem.
