Has anybody noticed the following problem with the Oracle Database Assistant, Oracle 8.0.4, running on WindowsNT 4, Service Pack 3 or Service Pack 5?

Trying to create a new database with the 'Typical' option, 'ConText cartridge' and no 'Advanced Replication', and of course 'Create database now' everything works fine until it's adding ConText support. This also works fine for a while, until it creates the file DrXXX.ora in the Database directory. After having created this file the assistant just sits there forever, doing nothing. It isn't just that it takes a long time, it hardly should take the whole weekend, it simply doesn't do anything.

The odd thing is that this used to work earlier under Service Pack 3. I have managed to create new databases with the assistant before last week.

Any hints on what could be wrong?
