hi!

Have you already installed Oracle software on the same box ? Or it is first oracle installation?

In XP you might be having a user name other than 'Administrator' but having administrative privileges.
Are you logging in with login name : 'Administrator'?
There might be a disk quota limit for your userid/ login name which is filling up. Please check it.

I don't sure but it may help:
a)change your temp directory to smth more short for example C:\Temp
b)try to start oracle installer from directory with short path for example C:\ora

Well said Milanov.
Some times, installer from directory with short path and folder name without including space or special characters for example C:\ora may hep

hai,

try to install it in any other drive(such as d:\ , e:\)(i am not sure but lets have a look ya...)

[hsivas]

In windows OS "MY DOCUMENTS" is an default folder that is created automatically during windows installation. so, that might be too a problem for this error. Its better to install oracle in any other logical drives.

example:
d:\oracle... or e:\oracle (if my suggestion does'nt work (or) is wrong in pls apologize ) bye..
