Is there a list of known problems with installing Oracle 8i Database on Windows 2000 Server or on Windows 2003 Server?

According to Oracle's certification matrix, Oracle8i database on Windows 2000 (x86) server has been desupported, so I would encourage you to install Oracle9i release 2 or above. If you do install Oracle8i on this platform and experience difficulties, Oracle Support may or may not assist you. Oracle8i on Windows 2003 server was never certified, so I would definitely not attempt to install this release of Oracle on this platform. Again, I would recommend that you install a supported and certified release of Oracle database software for your operating system.
