Questions:
Does this bug really exists ?
[Quoted] Does it affects only NT or Windows95/98 as well ?
[Quoted] The Developer 6 Server, which you can download to date from Technet,
contains an Oracle Installer with version >3.3.1.1 ??
[Quoted] How to handle the Y2K compliant version ?? (e.g: overwrite the existing
version)
[Quoted] What is the size (in MB) of this Y2K compliant version ?
Any comments will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
