To avoid these problems, unzip po7_win.exe as shown below:

        c:\> po7_win.exe -d -n

The -d option restores the required directory structure. In other words, if all 611 files are unzipped into one directory, you'll get the FILE_NOT_FOUND error when you run orainst.exe. Try uncompressing the archive again with the -d switch.

The -n switch causes only newer files to be extracted. You'll end up with the newest version of some duplicate files, and you won't get the prompt 'file exists, want to overwrite'.

Incidentally, the po7_win.exe archive contains the win32s files you'll need to run po7, so there's no need to download the separate file win32s.exe, as the directions on www.oracle.com may lead you to believe.
