I should add, that I have the latest JVM's installed 1.3 and 1.4 and, also tried it without the JVM's installed. &nbsp;All the various Micro$oft patches, updates, security changes, and duct tape add on's have been applied. &nbsp;There is a metric ton of disk space available on the machine.

Thanks sidcap!<br />
<br />
It worked like a charm. &nbsp;Now what I'll do is re-burn the cd including that change, and label it appropriately.<br />
<br />
Once again, thanks.

Since this is an installation question, I'm assuming it will be something that's been seen before and a technote probably exists somewhere...<br />
<br />
I have a new machine -- A celeron 1.8ghz machine with 512mb or ram running xp/home. &nbsp; <br />
<br />
I have an Oracle 8i driver CD given me by a client -- I use it to do development work for them, accessing their server from work station when building, then load the application on a server at their site once it works.<br />
<br />
When I attempt to install, I never get a dialog box. &nbsp;I can insert the CD, click on install, but the setup dialog boxes offering me a choice of what to install never comes up.<br />
<br />
I get the same result running setup from the operating system prompt.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?
