Your post is not very clear to the exact nature of the problem you
face. Where in the installation process are you? What is the exact
error message? What version of Windows are you using. There are
differences between Windows XP, 2003, 2008, Vista, and 7.

Is there a currently working version of Oracle on the machine or is
the Oracle that is there left over from a previous failed installation
or a older version installation that is no longer in use.

If there is no prior Oracle version in use but part of a prior
installation exists it would be best to remove it before attempting to
install a new installation. A complete removal would include cleaning
out the registry and the OS environment variable settings.

Not many differences, it's all junk. Real men use Unix based operating
systems.

And real men don't have pointy haired bosses imposing 'junk' operating
systems upon them...

Honestly, Oracle on Windows works OK.

As opposed to ... "works well"? OK is kind of a lukewarm endorsement
eh?
