I found this message in this message board, an it works fine on my PC:

Possible Symptoms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The failure typically is that the affected application simply terminates.

Workaround
~~~~~~~~~~

Not only will OUI be affected by this bug, most of the post-install
configuration tools will also be affected. Running these tools with "-nojit"
specified will avoid the hang, but it is not simple to specify "-nojit" for
some of the products.

The following workaround works for the Windows operating system:

a. Copy only the install directory from the CD to the hard disk ,say, e:temp.

b. Open oraparam.ini and make the following modifications (Assuming CD
drive is f:)

* Change the "SOURCE=" line to use the full path to the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e., SOURCE=f:stageproducts.jar)

* Change the "JRE_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
JRE_LOCATION=f:stageComponentsoracleswdjre1.1.71DataFilesExpanded)

* Change the "OUI_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
OUI_LOCATION=f:stageComponentsoracleswdoui1.6.0.9.01DataFilesExpanded

* Change the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to add "-nojit" as the first argument.
(i.e., JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m)
^^^^^^
* Other entries should remain the same

c. Launch setup.exe from the temporary location on your hard drive (i.e.
e:tempinstallwin32setup.exe). This will use the modified
oraparam.ini and pick up the information from the CD since the absolute
locations are specified.

Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database during the
install. This way, the Database Configuration Assistant will not be launched
during installation.

The Net8 Configuration Assistant will still be launched, and there is no way
to suppress it. You will need to kill the Net8 Configuration Assistant if it
hangs due to the bug. The installation still will have been successful, and
you can run the DBCA and NetCA after installation.

To kill NetCA if it hangs during installation:
In the "Configuration Tools" window, highlight the "Net8 Configuration
Assistant" and click "Stop". If that does not work, look for the most recent
JRE process using the Task Manager, and kill it manually. NOTE: the OUI
itself will also have a jre process. Be sure to kill the one with the most
recent date, which should be the jre process being used for Net8CA, not the
one for OUI itself.

After killing the configuration tools and continuing through the installation
to the "End of Installation" screen, you should modify the configuration tools
to use "-nojit", then call the appropriate tools from the Start Menu.

Once installation is complete, each of the following files in the ORACLE_HOME
needs to be modified:

assistantsdbcadbassist.cl
assistantsdbmadbmig.cl
assistantsifaifa.cl
binelogin.cl
binowm.cl
ldapoidamdinoidadmin.cl
networktoolsnetasst.cl
networktoolsnetca.cl
owminstallinstelogin.cl
owminstallinstowm.cl

Edit the contents of the above files to add "-nojit" as shown below:
Command=("C:Program FilesOraclejre1.1.7BINJREW" -nojit -classpath ....
this is the only thing you need to add --> ^^^^^^

Then, launch the necessary tools, like Net8CA and DBCA from the Start Menu.

Patches
~~~~~~~
Currently there is not a patched installer available to deal with this
problem, the workaround listed above must be used.

Hi:
I was having the same problem installing 8.1.7 on P4 machine and your answer worked perfectly, but I am having the same issues when I try to install the OEM CD with Tunung, Change Management and Diagnostic Packs. Is this also a known issue and do you have any work arounds for this?

in the installation CD search for this file SYMCJIT.DLL if it exists you must make a new copy of the CD but renaming the SYMCJIT.DLL to .OLD or .TMP, The problem is not the PC, the problem is that dll file is unable to determine wath kind of Processor are you using when you are using Pentium IV, I hope this help you. SALUDOS

Can you imagine that Oracle release this pile of s--t without testing the installation process? Makes you wonder if they skipped testing the rest of their product as well...
