Oracle 8i INstallation Problem on Windows machine

This entry is for you if you had problems installing Oracle 8i on a windows machine (XP as OS), which happens to have a Pentium-4 processor.

1.Copy the installation files to a staging area. Rename any files you find there called symcjit.dll to symcjit.old and run exe file.

 

 

2.Unfortunately, the version of the JRE shipped with this software has a problem. This problem manifests as pop up messages when you start the Oracle service or after you have successfully installed Oracle saying things like “Java.exe has encountered a problem”.

 

To resolve this problem, download JRE 1.2.2_007 from http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/1.2.2_007/jre/.

Then you have a choice. You can simply install it to :oracleApachejdkjre, or you can install it to a staging area and copy the files jvm.dll and symcjit.dll from the staging area to the jre directory.
