I was having these same problems with Oracle 8.0.4 until I found a way
to get it working on Windows 2000 Server. As stated above, first get
Oracle Installer 3.3.1.2.4 or the patch that fixes this problem and
install it. Make sure that you have a clean un-install of any previous
oracle 8.0.4 installations, there were some entries in the Windows
registry that were giving me problems, and I was also having errors
just installing Oracle 8.0.4 components in any order. But, after much
trial and error, I found a sequence of installing Oracle 8.0.4
components that was successful:
- First, install the Net8 component.
- Then, install the Oracle 8 database component.
- After that install any other components.
This was the only way that I could get Oracle 8.0.4 installed and
working. Of course, I am only using it for development purposes, not
on a loaded production system.
