I am trying to install Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition on Windows 2000 Server. From the autorun.exe screen I select "InstallDeInstall" products. NOTHING HAPPENS. I try to go and run "setup.exe" from the root of the CD, ...NOTHING HAPPENS. I have JDK 1.3.1, and am also running SQL Server 2000.

for any P4 machine it wont work.
please follow this procedure
----------------------------------------------------
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT, Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be affected.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
When installing oracle Products with the oracle Universal Installer (8.1.x)
on machines that use the Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT, the installer hangs.

Specifically for the Windows platform, the following version of the Symmantec
JIT or earlier will encounter the failure:

Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for JDK 1.2.

Details regarding this issue can be found at:

http://developer.intel.com/design/processor/future/manuals/knownissue.htm

How to determine if you have Symmantec Java for JDK 1.2:
1. Select the file "symcjit.dll" and right click on it.
2. Select Properties, then the Version tab.
3. Under Microsoft Windows*, the properties of the DLL are:
"Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for JDK 1.2 Copyright (C)
1996-99 Symantec Corporation Dynamic Link Library file".

DLLs older than this will also not work. "

Likelihood of Occurrence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the Sun JRE
and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be affected.

Possible Symptoms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The failure typically is that the affected application simply terminates.

Workaround
~~~~~~~~~~

Not only will OUI be affected by this bug, most of the post-install
configuration tools will also be affected. Running these tools with "-nojit"
specified will avoid the hang, but it is not simple to specify "-nojit" for
some of the products.

The following workaround works for the Windows operating system:

a. Copy only the install directory from the CD to the hard disk ,say, e:temp.

b. Open oraparam.ini and make the following modifications (Assuming CD
drive is f:)

* Change the "SOURCE=" line to use the full path to the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e., SOURCE=f:stageproducts.jar)

* Change the "JRE_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
JRE_LOCATION=f:stageComponentsoracleswdjre1.1.71DataFilesExpanded)

* Change the "OUI_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
OUI_LOCATION=f:stageComponentsoracleswdoui1.6.0.9.01DataFilesExpanded

* Change the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to add "-nojit" as the first argument.
(i.e., JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m)
^^^^^^
* Other entries should remain the same

c. Launch setup.exe from the temporary location on your hard drive (i.e.
e:tempinstallwin32setup.exe). This will use the modified
oraparam.ini and pick up the information from the CD since the absolute
locations are specified.

Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database during the
install. This way, the Database Configuration Assistant will not be launched
during installation.

The Net8 Configuration Assistant will still be launched, and there is no way
to suppress it. You will need to kill the Net8 Configuration Assistant if it
hangs due to the bug. The installation still will have been successful, and
you can run the DBCA and NetCA after installation.

To kill NetCA if it hangs during installation:
In the "Configuration Tools" window, highlight the "Net8 Configuration
Assistant" and click "Stop". If that does not work, look for the most recent
JRE process using the Task Manager, and kill it manually. NOTE: the OUI
itself will also have a jre process. Be sure to kill the one with the most
recent date, which should be the jre process being used for Net8CA, not the
one for OUI itself.

After killing the configuration tools and continuing through the installation
to the "End of installation" screen, you should modify the configuration tools
to use "-nojit", then call the appropriate tools from the Start Menu.

Once installation is complete, each of the following files in the oracle_HOME
needs to be modified:

assistantsdbcadbassist.cl
assistantsdbmadbmig.cl
assistantsifaifa.cl
binelogin.cl
binowm.cl
ldapoidamdinoidadmin.cl
networktoolsnetasst.cl
networktoolsnetca.cl
owminstallinstelogin.cl
owminstallinstowm.cl

Edit the contents of the above files to add "-nojit" as shown below:
Command=("C:Program Filesoraclejre1.1.7BINJREW" -nojit -classpath ....
this is the only thing you need to add --> ^^^^^^

Then, launch the necessary tools, like Net8CA and DBCA from the Start Menu.

Hi,
if you are installing in Pentium 4 Procesor,
Do the followings:
copy the system from the CD to your computer and rename the fine name symcjit and go on installing the Oracle......

I am sure it will work and if you have any further problem, mail me at multimerge@mail.com.np

Best of Luck...

I am having problems installing Oracle 8i on a Dell GX240 machine. It shows the autorun menu but when I click on the installproducts it doesn't do anything. Any ideas of what I should do?

Thanks in advance.
