Re: I'VE GOT IT!!! Re: how to install Oracle 8.0.5 & Developer 2.1 on WinNT 4.0

The method I posted below works exceptionally well - only a few minor switches - on the 8.0.5 cd, you will need to install the networking and Net80 products in DEFAULT_HOME not new_home. Also will need to install required support files and oracle7 utilities in DEFAULT_HOME as well.
