8i works fine on my XP boxes, of course they are not Intel Pentium IV, but AMD Athlon. The problem is probably due to Pentium IV Oracle Java Virtual Machine bug, which is being used for install. There is a workaround for that problem. See below for more info:
fact: Oracle Universal Installer fact: MS Windows 2000 fact: MS Windows NT fact: MS Windows 98 fact: Intel Pentium IV fact: Pentium 4 Processors symptom: Oracle Universal Installer fails to start symptom: Installation fails symptom: Installation hangs symptom: Installer hangs
symptom: Installer exits
symptom: No error messages appear
cause: (Bug:1507768)
Installer fails when running on new Pentium 4 Processors Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the Sun JRE and Symantec JIT will encounter this problem.
fix:
There are 3 possible workarounds:
- Obtain patch 1507768 from Oracle Support Services via Metalink. See Patch readme for patch installation details.
2.
a) Copy the content of the Installation to a temporary folder on the
harddisk,
rename ALL copies of file 'symcjit.dll'
b) Go to folder \install and edit file 'oraparam.ini' (attention: write
protection) and change parameter JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS to
JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m
c) Start the installation again
3. Use the Oracle Universal Installer that is shipped with Oracle 9.0.1 or higher.
