I recently got a beta version from my friends. During the installation process, I met a small episode, written here for your reference. My machine is PIII700, Windows2000 Service Pack4.
After clicking on Setup.exe, the window information that appears is as follows:
Using paramfile: g: /oracle10g/disk1/install/win32/oraparam.ini
Starting Oracle Universal Installer ...
Checking Required Pre-Requisites ...
Checking Operating System Version: Must BE 4.0, 5.0, 5.1 OR 5.2. Actual 5.0 Pass
Checking for service_pack: Must BE 1, 2 or 3. Actual Service Pack 4 failed <<<< checking for min_display_colors 256. actual 4294967296 Passed
Some Required Pre-Requisite Checks Have Failed (See Above). You MUST
Correct these Problems Before Continuing with the install, at Which
Time the Will Be Re-Checked. Continue? (Y / N) [N]
As seen from it, Oracle actually does not support Service Pack 4, but in accordance with common sense, Service Pack is compatible with older versions. Take a little analysis, it can determine this is a small bug. In Oracle's beta version No service pack4.
Take a look at the first line of information, use the g: /oracle10g/disk1/install/win32/oraparam.ini this parameter file, isn't the boundary value of some conditions defined here?
Find this file, open, analyze, fruit is the boundary value of some of the defined detection system. Found two lines: [Windows-5.0-Required] service_pack = 1, 2, 3
It can be seen that it is defined that the service pack version. OK, modified it: service_pack = 1, 2, 3, 4
Run setup.exe. See the verification information is as follows:

Go back, analyze the document of Disk1 / Install / Win32 / OraParam.ini, you can see that the minimum condition for installation is: CPU = 300 256 color resolution installed on NT4 requires SP6
It is seen that Oracle10g may add a test file on the Windows platform. Use this file content to determine if the operating system meets the installation conditions. I don't know if it is the case in the official version.
