Hi Ragnar,

I feel your pain. I had to create a package to install the Oracle 8.17
client. I finally gave up trying to package using the oracle
installer. In the end the way I got it working was to do a snapshot
before and after and package it that way.

Two other things I ran into - Oracle setup wouldn't run unless it was
from a mapped drive, and I had to change the Oracle odbc entries in
the registry, because Oracle doesn't install in the proper location.

I don't know if things have improved in the newer Oracle releases, but
it was almost like they were going out of their way to be incompatible
with MS.

Best of luck!

J.
