Oracle Lite Install

Question

I just downloaded oracle lite 5.0.1 and unzipped the file.
I then executed the setup.exe and got an hour glass for a few seconds, and then nothing.
I repeated this many times - nothing.
I tried downloading the 5.0 version and had the same result.
Please help,
John

Well after much searching..I finally found a solution. So I thought I would post it in case someone else had the problem.
* Start the Install - All should go fine until the Linking phase
* You will get an error;"Error in invoking target install of makefile $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/lib/ins_sqlplus.mk" - Do not respond to the message yet
* Open up another shell
* Verify that $ORACLE_HOME is set correctly (and not pointing to a DB home if you have one)
* Edit $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh and remove the line that says LD_SELF_CONTAINED.
* Execute the newly edited file (It creates $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libclntsh.so
* Press retry on the error message
Note: This works for the 'Lite' version as well as the Enterprise version
