I was trying install Oracle 8i onto my computer under Windows OS, but it was strange. After “setup” file is clicked, busy icon is appear but nothing happened then.
I tried to install on notebook, everything was ok. The installation was run properly.
Got confused, I asked google for this problem, and here is the answer:

If you are using P4…Its a known bug…Here is a easiest workaround assuming your processor is a Pentium 4 …
1. Create a temporary directory on your server.
2. Copy the contents of the Oracle RDBMS CD to the temporary directory created in step 1.
3. Search the directory structure created in step 1 for the existence of the filename symcjit.dll….mostly you will find 2 files
4. Rename each copy of the symcjit.dll to symcjit.old.
5. Run the setup.exe from the installwin32 directory and install Oracle 8.1.x.
