I was hoping you can help me with something. I downloaded the personal version of Oracle 8i from their web site. I unziped it using winzip and when I try to install it on my desktop I get the following message.

There was a problem accessing the staging area. Please make sure the specified values for 'source' and 'destination are values.

    I can't remember what the source and desitination pathes are but there were already filled in then it got to that screen. I defaults to the c drive which has over 500 megs free and even when I change it to the 2 other drive letters that have
over 5 gigs free I still get the same error. My desktop is a AMD k62 333 Mhz andhas 98 megs of ram and a 20 hard drive

    When I unzip it on my laptop it throws everything into a directory I specified in the unzipping process. Then when I click on the Install Icon (there are 2 different ones that give the same result) I get this message.

  can't find c:\install\win32\setup.exe

    My laptop is a pentium 120 with 40 megs of ram and 500 megs free on the hard drive.

    Any idea on how it fix any of these problems? I seem to have problems with the downloads from the Oracle site.
