Re: installing Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows XP

I was just looking for a solution for the same problem since the one I found directly at Oracle didn't work for me (i.e. changing some parameters in a script to provide an explicit path)

After renaming the file as suggested by Christophe the installation proceeded without a problem.

FYI - my installation includes Pentium 4 and Windows XP.

Thanks !!!
