Klaas,

I recently had similar problems during Designer/2000 1.3.2 installations - packages would not compile and the installation would abort. I was installing into an Oracle 8.0.4 database running on Digital UNIX. The client I was installing Designer from was an NT 4.0 system. Turns out the NT machine had a virus that somehow corrupted the PL/SQL files that the repository uses. As they got copied from the install CD, the files would get trashed. It was a really weird problem, completely stumped Oracle tech support. I had my customer install Norton AntiViral on the NT system - this seems to have fixed the problem ...

We have since upgraded to Designer 2.1.2 - it's an improvement, but the product is still way too cumbersome, IMHO! ;-)

Good luck!
