Hello,

The problem is not due to Windows XP but due to your pentium 4 chip. Copy the contents of the 8i CD to your HD then rename each copy of symcjit.dll archives to symcjit.dll.old. Then start the installation by running setup.exe.

Enjoy,

If you have an Intel Pentium 4 processor, proceed below.

1. Create a directory under <HDL:\\> called oracle_temp to hold the Oracle 8i Personal Edition.
2. copy the entire folder into the oracle_temp folder.
3. Delete all occurrences of symcjit.dll (There will be 2). These files are located:
• <HDL:\\>oracle_temp\\stage\\Components\\oracle.omb.jdk\\1.1.8\\1\\DataFiles\\Expand
ed\\jdk118_nt\\bin
• <HDL:\\>\\oracle_temp\\stage\\Components\\oracle.swd.jre\\1.1.7.30\\1\\DataFiles\\Expa
nded\\jre\\win32\\bin
4. Run setup.exe located <HDL:\\> oracle_temp.

Note: <HDL:\\> = hard drive letter

Hi,

I was unable to install oracle 8i on windows. After I click on setup nothing displays. Then I tried changing syncjit.dll to symcjit.old as you suggested. This installs Oracle but system starts giving error: java.exe has generated errors . And also while installation i get a warning symcjit not found.

Please help me.
Thanks.

What\'s the os and system you are trying to install, this dll renaming is needed only on pentium 4.

Here is the solution for your Java.exe errors:

Edit the jserv.conf file accordingly to disable JSERV from starting up.
Old parameter -> ApJServManual off
New parameter -> ApJServManual on

This is not required for Enterprise Manager Browser functionality and is the cause of the problem.

Also make sure you have the latest JRE.
