perhaps you could try some of the following:
make sure the installer is still not trying to use some JRE available in
your disk - i.e. locate all JREs installed and rename the directories.
Also in the windows registry temporarily rename the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft branch to something, so that it is
unavailable to the system (because there usually exists a
JavaRuntimeEnvironment/CurrentVersion key pointing to some JRE)
finally, copy the distribution CDs to disk and edit the
Disk1\Install\oraparam.ini - there is a line like:
"JRE_LOCATION=../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8.10.0/1/DataFiles/Expa
nded/jre"
try to edit it so that it does not contain relative but absolute path
(according to the directory u've coped the distribution into)
if it works - don't forget to restore the JRE paths and registry settings
if it's still not working and u have MetaLink access - there are hundreds of
similar complains there (most of them unanswered anyways), perhaps u can
find some hints
