I can't find any material through Google on this error other than what I've
already provided. If I may venture an educated guess, the error is probably
due to the fact that the software was downloaded instead of being installed
from an Oracle-provided CD. There have been reported issues with downloaded
Oracle software in the past in this newsgroup, and I am pretty sure that you
will find that Oracle is as stable a software as there is, dependent on the
hardware and OS you are putting it on, and on its being installed from a
CDROM. You can get a trial license for the software (on CD) from
oraclestore.oracle.com for US $0 dollars plus shipping and handling.
