Hi,

I read a lot of threads about Oracle8i Client 8.1.7 installation. I did not succeed to install this product on a Pentium 4 Windows NT workstation.
I downloaded the patch number 1507768 from metalink. The installation failed too. I downloaded a SUN JRE 1.1.8.16 from SUN archives products. Same result : installation failed. I did not download Oracle Universal Installer 2.2.0.12.0 and JRE 1.3.1.1.0a. (Oracle8i Client Release Notes Release 3 (8.1.7.0.0) for Windows XP) from metalink. Must I download it to install Oracle8i Client 8.1.7?

I downloaded Oracle9i Client 9.2.0 and I installed it successfully on that workstation. Is installing Oracle9i Client 9.2.0 the best solution? What kind of problems will I encounter with Oracle8i servers? What kind of problems will I encounter with Windows XP workstations?

Thanks
