Is it possible to load Oracle 8 running Windows ME?

[Guest_imported]

I am taking a programming class that uses Oracle 8Ai for Professional. I got a copy of the software, but it gives me an error when I try to load it. It is actually the version for Windows 98. Do they make an Oracle version for ME?
