Hi there!

I've downloaded the Oracle 9i (2nd Rel.) client software for MS Windoze from otn.oracle.com to get to access to a quite antique Oracle 7.3.2 Database at our company that runs on a remote IBM AIX machine.

I've installed the basic client and experienced no troubles at all - even the connection test worked fine.

However AFTER installation a few problems appeared:

Im unable to connect to the 7.3.2 DB using SQL*Plus. The following error/warning message appears a couple of seconds after starting the program:

Error accessing PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE
Warning: Data from table Product User Profile isn't loaded! PUPBLD.SQL should be run as SYSTEM

(the above is a "translation" as I use the german language version)

After that the program simply crashes.

Has anybody experienced similar behavior? I use a Windoze XP Pro installation as OS. It would be really nice if somebody could help me on that matter...
