which Oracle version are you using? Should be 8.1.7 up.

I had the same problem, it was due to W2K and a P4 Processor.

I found a link that instructed to remove a .dll file from the install disk, and then it worked fine, but now I can't find my docs !

I did find this however.

Hope it helps.

This problem typically occurs when you are not part of the administrators group on W2K Server. If you're not either add yourself or have the administrator add you to the administrators group.

Insterd of clicking on the setup.exe, try to click on the autorun icon.

I believe Oracle has now got a patch ready?

This sounds like the infamous Pentium IV problem. If the computer you are trying to install upon is a Pentium IV, none of the Oracle JAVA tools (like the Installer) will run. I think this problem starts with 8.1.6. Oracle may have a patch for this, I am not sure (check MetaLink at the Oracle site if you are authorized to do so). However there are also some workarounds that work. You can check this link: faq186-1124, for a workaround.
