RE: NET8 installed on a network drive

Hi Kim,

We are successfully doing registry imports with version 8.1.5 to allow clients to use Forms applications and Discoverer.

However, our clients are Windows NT rather than 95.

     Is anyone installing NET8 version 8.1.5 (or lower) on a network drive 
     to be shared by multiple workstations?  This has been our procedure 
     for the past few years, and I have printed messages from the Oracle 
     forum that state they support 16 bit shared installation of sqlnet 
     with Oracle7 and 16 and 32 bit shared installation with Oracle8.  Only 
     now with Oracle8i, I can't seem to get a shared installation to work 
     by importing the registry and Oracle says this is a unsupported 
     installation configuration.  Is anyone else using this method 
     successfully for Windows 95 clients under version 8.1.5?  Is there any 
     other simple way of configuring this so we don't need to manually 
     update each workstation?
     
     TIA -
