The following overview and instructions are for a standard, default Oracle 9i
Server installation. If your Oracle installation includes any customization or non-
default selections, your procedures will differ from those provided in this chapter.
Please make adjustments accordingly. The illustrations shown are for installing
Oracle 9i Server on Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4. If you are installing a
different version of Oracle or are installing Oracle on Windows XP Professional,
your windows may be different.
Note: As a general warning, when installing and configuring Oracle 9i do not close

configuration errors and loss of data. Instead, utilize the Oracle close or
cancel buttons.
