Error installing Oracle 92021 on Windows 2003 Std 64x

user584208Jul 9 2007 — edited Jul 11 2007

Bit of an Oracle newb here, so someone set me strait...

I need to install a test instance of Oracle 92x, and I want to install it on my Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 system (AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+, 4GB RAM, if it matters).

I downloaded the Windows 2003 x64 release of Oracle 9 (92021), but I can't even run the setup executable. I get:

"The image file setup.exe is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine."

.. as if the build was for a completely different processor architecture. I will be trying a x32 build next, but I understand x32 apps are very slow in WOW64.

What am I missing?
