does oracle10g client( version 10.2.0.0) compatible with windows server 2008 standard 32 bit service pack 2

Question

I am trying to install oracle 10g client version 10.2.0.0 on windows server 2008 standard 32 bit machine with service pack 2. The oracle 10g client is getting installed but when i try to connect to oracle 9i server on another machine it is giving error "test does not succeeded". I have tested same using windows 7. On that it is working fine and getting connected to oracle 9i server. But i want this to be done on windows server 2008 standard only. Please suggest what i can do in this case?
