I had that same problem with it. I ended up getting it to work OK when I navigated into the directory structure that the zip file creates (or on CD, whichever you're running it from) into <patch_base>\install\win32\setup.exe and ran it from there. This actually runs the OUI instead of the unnecessary little autorun executable that they put in the root directory. Try that, I think that will work for you.
-::YEX::- <)))>< -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 2:29 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I have Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 running on a Windows 2000 Pro (sp2). I tried to install the 8.1.7.2.1 patchset according to the "readme" directions (shutdown all Oracle* services first, etc.), but when I try to run "setup.exe", nothing happens. The icon flashes momentarily after being double-clicked, but nothing ever actually runs. I tried it a number of times. Then I tried it with an older 8.1.7.1.1 patchset - and the exactly same thing happened. These patchsets are for "Windows NT", but I assumed they would work for 2000 as well. (Am I wrong in this assumption?) Does anyone have any experience with this and/or workarounds? -Don Granaman [OraSaurus - Honk if you remember UFI!] -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Don Granaman INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
