2. Installation of Oracle9i in Windows XP

Environment: Windows XP
Database: oracle9i

Question 1:
When oracle9i is installed on Windows XP for the first time, the following error occurs:

"You may not have the permission to create a directory or the disk has no space. You cannot create a directory c :...."

At that time, I had 4 GB space on drive C. Oh, my God! Is this an error? After careful analysis, I think the Temporary Folder path is too long. It seems that I have encountered such an error when installing Oracle8i over the network. So I made the following changes:

1. Right-click my computer --> advanced --> environment variable
2. Change the values of temp and TMP to C: temp.

Question 2:
The second time I installed Oracle9i on Windows XP, I encountered such an error. This time I was familiar with changing the values of the environment variables temp and TMP to C: temp, A closer look at the error is a little different from the first one. The specific content is as follows:

"Error in writing to directory c: temporainstall, please ensure this directory is writable and has atleast 25 MB of disk space. Installation cannot countinue ."

This error is really a joke to me! The folder is writable and must have 25 MB of available space. Is my machine so bad? What should I do this time? Modify user permissions, change the path of temporary folders ......, I tried all of the tests. Finally, I finally thought about whether my laptop's optical drive was too bad, so I mapped a desktop drive.

I don't know what else will happen in the future. I hope you will have more exchanges !!
