I can not install Oracle 8.1.7 on a PC runnig W2K (english release)
since the OUI can not be started. There is a bug and a workaround,
but this will not change anything.
Does anyone has a suggestion?

(Bug 1221872) Due to a problem in Java Runtime Environment (JRE),
Oracle Universal Installer and other Java-based tools currently
do not run if your operating system locale is Hindi, Tamil,
Marathi, Sanskrit, Konkani, Armenian, or Georgian on Windows 2000.
If your operating system locale is one of those listed above on
your Windows 2000 computer, temporarily change it to English by
following the steps described below before installing Oracle8i
Release 3 (8.1.7). You can change your operating system locale
back to the original value after you finish installing Oracle8i
Release 3 (8.1.7) or finish using Oracle's Java-based tools.
In order to change the operating system locale on Windows 2000,
perform these steps:
Start > Settings > Control Panel.
Double-click Regional Options.
Change Input Locales to English (...)
Choose OK.
Note that this problem also exists on Oracle8i Release 3 (8.1.7)
for Windows NT, but these locales are not supported on this
operating system, so the problem does not occur.
