[Quoted] I've been trying to install Oracle 9i Developer Suite, downloaded in 10 files from the Oracle OTN website. I've been trying to install it on a Windows 2000 Pro system.

On the Oracle OTN website the instructions for installing the Oracle 9i Developer Suite download files say to run File 10, a batch file, to combine the 9 download files that make up the Developer Suite.

I have executed this batch file and it apparently successfully creates an executable file, "90201iDS_Win32.exe". The instructions then say to execute this file. Unfortunately this fails, with a message that this file cannot be executed in DOS mode. Well, I have tried to execute this file by double-clicking on it, by using the RUN function in the START menu, and by manually executing it in a CMD window. All result in the message "...cannot be executed in DOS mode."

Has anyone else seen this problem, or have some guidance for me in resolving this problem? Received on Fri Dec 06 2002 - 00:50:17 CET
