9i on WIN2K

[vr76413]

I downloaded 9i for Win2K client. I already have 8.1.7 on my Client box. When i try to double click 9i setup icon, nothing happens !!!!


Where am i going wrong ?....Please let me know if i need to change any settings....I want to have both 9i and 8i in two different home directories.


Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have both on a W2K system ( actually I have 3 including some 8.0 stuff) so it should work OK...Did you check your download to be sure everything came down..The size should be the same ( mostly) as the source location..Sometimes the D/Ls from technet fail and do not generate any error..

yeah...the download looks good to me ....

but as i said, when i unzip the file and click on setup icon, nothing happens...


any other ideas ?...which i can try

thanks

Hi ,
If the 8.1.7 installation worked ok, I assume you do not have a Pentium 4, so I am at a loss as to what the problem may be..Try a new D/L but, if the zip file size you have is correct , it would be a long shot..

Hi.
I had the same problem on Win2K.
It's still really a mistery for me why this happens.

I solved opening a DOS window, and running the installation from DOS.
Seems like the java program doesn't start from windows, only from DOS...
If somebody finds the answer please...

Good luck
