1You cannot run Oracle Universal Installer and Oracle Data Migration Assistant or Oracle Database Configuration Assistant during the same installation session on a 64 MB computer. To run these assistants, answer No when asked if you want to migrate or create a database. After installation is complete and Oracle Universal Installer has exited, run these assistants. In addition, Oracle Corporation recommends that you increase virtual memory to 200 MB (modify it in the Performance tab of System Properties in the Control Panel).
