Installation of Oracle 9i for Windows Home Edition

459035Oct 7 2005 — edited Oct 10 2005

I'm having a problem installing this version on my computer. I downloaded the 3 file version from the website, and I cannot complete the installation. I keep getting this error partway through the installation:

"Please insert Oracle 9i disk 2 into your disk drive or specify an alternative location."

Of course, I have no second disk because I just downloaded the files from the site. I tried specifying another location, but that doesn't make the error go away. Can anyone please help?

Also, not sure if it makes a difference, but I was surfing the web for solutions to this problem, and I found another message board where a user wrote that this database doesn't always work on XP Home, just XP Pro. Could this be the source of the problem?
