Hello, I need to install Oracle 8i personal edition onto a PC running MS-Windows ME.
After inserting the CD and the autorun execute, a error message prompt me that the source and destination are invalid and problem accessing stage area when selecting the file locations in the beginning of the installation (All values I left with the default except for changing the drive letter of destination to drive C)

SOURCE: E:\STAGE\products.jar
DESTINATION:
C:\STAGE\COMPONENTS\ORACLE.SWD.JRE\1.1.7.24\1\DATAFILES\EXPANDED\JRE\WIN32\B IN\..\\Oracle\Ora81

The documents provided with the CD does not help at all. And I have tried many different locations but nothing seems to work. Is it because of Windows ME? Do I need to "downgrade" my OS back to Windows 98 inorder for the installation to work?

Please help. Thank You. Received on Wed May 30 2001 - 14:24:18 CEST
