Oracle 8.1.7.3 client on Windows Server 2008 64bit

734354Nov 13 2009 — edited Nov 16 2009

Hi all!
I'm a newbie to Oracle and this forum, so please be gentle...:)
I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.7.3 client on a 64bit Windows Server 2008, without success. Best result I got so far is 'installed' client and provider, but unable to run the config tools, or use the provider. I installed the same client on a 32bit version of Win Server 2008 and it worked with few minor tweaks.

Reason I'm doing this is trying to integrate an old legacy Oracle 7 database with SQL Server 2008 using linked servers.
Upgrading to a recent version is not an option.

Anyone has any guidelines? please help, this is driving me nuts!

Thanx,

Igor
