encounter this problem.
Windows NT, Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to

terminates.
Workarounds

Solution 1.
1. Obtain patch number 1507768 from Metalink
2. unzip the patch
3. unjar the contents
4. Go to the directory
.\cd\Disk1\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30/1\DataFiles\Expan
ded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll
rename symcjit.dll to symcjit.dll.ori
5. Invoke OUI and install OUI to disk
cd ./cd/Disk1/stage/win32/setup.exe
6. Use the installed OUI to install the RDBMS
7. Invoke OUI from the start menu, and install RDBMS software.
Solution 2.
1. Create a temporary directory on your server.
2. Copy the contents of the Oracle RDBMS Server CD to the temporary
directory created in step 1.

of
the filename symcjit.dll.
4. Rename each copy of the symcjit.dll to symcjit.old.
5. Run the setup.exe from the \install\win32 directory and install
Oracle 8.1.x.

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
One of our developers is having a problem installing Oracle Client
(8.1.7). When he inserts the CD the initial screen comes up with the
options to Install/Deinstall products, Explore CD, Browse Documentation.
When he clicks on Install/Deinstall, however the Oracle Installer never
comes
up.
Any ideas what might be wrong?
Thanks
