I did consider the download option but the part number differs from the CD I have in my hand and I'm not sure whether this reflects the different method of delivery or a slightly different build.

I'd like to copy the contents of the CDs up to the target Solaris box and create a staging area to perform the install from. The problem is, I've got a Win XP client and when I copy the software across runInstaller fails. I believe it's a problem with Windows' handling of the executable bit. Can anyone suggest a workaround for this?
