I am attempting to install Oracle 8i Client, on several Windows 2000
Professional SP2 PCs. Two of the installs have gone without a hitch.
The third will not install. The splash screen loads, but when I click
on install, the application silently exits. I can not run it from
Setup.exe on the CD either. Here is what I have tried...
I have installed from this CD on the other PCs. (this eliminates the
CD from being the problem)
I have tried to install from both another CD drive on this system, as
well as placing the CD in the server and sharing it. (this eliminates
hardware issues witht the drives or the MB)
I have downloaded the 8.1.7 Client. This would not install either.
(the CD is 8.1.6) This eliminated an incompatability issue.
I have tried installing as the user, myself and the Local
Administrator.
The behavior never changes. It looks like it is going to run, but I
never get Setup to run. It is not a running process on the PC, (maybe
stuck in NTVDM or something), and it never attempts to run.
Is there someone who has seen this? Please let me know. It is very
important.
Thank you in advance.
