Hi:
With P4 you need to get rid of incompatible JIT compiler
(symcjit.dll).

I used the following workaround:

* Copy your CD

Oracle8i Client Release 3 (8.1.7)
for Microsoft Windows
95/98/2000/NT
Part #: A87675-01

to your hard disk (e.g. to C:\oracle\Oraclient8.1.7)

* Rename the file

C:\oracle\Oraclient8.1.7\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\
1.1.7.30\1\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll

to (e.g.)

symcjit.dll.ori

* Disable "Read Only" for C:\oracle\Oraclient8.1.7\install\oraparam.ini
and edit the file like this:

[Oracle]
...

this original line:

JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-mx96m

replace with:

JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m

Save the file a set "Read Only".

* Run Oracle Universal Installer
C:\oracle\Oraclient8.1.7\install\win32\setup.exe

Good luck.
