DevOps, CI/CD and Automation

Hello. I am in the need of running some aplications (ArcView, in fact) that needs connection to an Oracle 8.1.6 installed on a sun ultra machine. My client machine runs that awful Windows ME.

The matter is that i've tried installing the Oracle 8i Client, the Oracle 8i Enterprise Manager, and even the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cache (that had worked to me earlier over Win98).

All of that clients use the Oracle Universal Installer (Java-Based) and when is time for choose the oracle_home for installation that doesn't appear, just the box ready for enter the destination path. I did that, the installer reads the package list and then there are en error message: "There was a problem in the staging area. Please check the source an destination paths are correct". And, of course, that paths are good. Trying to install just the odbc driver (downloaded), causes the same. Anyway the driver needs the net client.

I've tried installing Oracle 8 client (8.0.4), but the drivers doesn't work at all.

the microsoft ODBC driver is just for 7.3 versions of Oracle, and is too out of date for my purposes.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
