VERSION: Oracle 8i downloaded from Oracle last night from oracle site.

PC: Windows XP Pro AMD Athlon XP Mobile, Laptop PC patched up with windows update fully
MY SKILLS: None, first time seeing or installing oracle.

WORKFLOW:
I installed oracle with out errors by download, unzip to folder right click and make sure read and write are ok. Setup in disk1 folder, seemed to work fine. I did change the following file symcjit.dll to symcjit_disc.dll in this directory C:\stage\components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1\Data Files\Expanded\jre\win32\bin as advised buy some sites of people having trouble installing on XP. This seem to work fine, the install processed clean with out errors.

Then I open up Database Configuration Assistant and select create a database, then typical, then create new database files, the OLTP option. 2 Users etc...

It seem to go through each stage for sometime ticking each item and then started getting errors... All Errors have window title of: Oracle Database Configuration Assistant Alert. Here are the list of errors, what have I done wrong!

1st Error
ORA-12560: TNSrotocol adapter error

(I put my IP address in the hostfile and then name of the pc, ie. 192.168.1.31 lifebook
This error then did not come up when I quite out and started the process again.)

2nd Error
ORA-00604: error occured at recursive SQL level 1

3rd Error
ORA-01562: failed to extend rollback segment number 0

4th Error
ORA-01628: max # extends (249) reached for rollback segment SYSTEM

5th Error

6th Error
ORA-29541: class SYS.oracle/aurora/security/PolicyTableManager could not be resolved

x4 times unntil I hit abort

7th Error

Hi,
Read, read and read again the installation docs and release notes..especially the 'permissions' and user accounts sections and be sure all is pre-prepared as required -
Better yet, stop trying to install a non-supported version..I believe that only Oracle 9i has been certified for XP Pro
