You must install Designer first, then 816. Apparently this is a "feature" several Oracle tools have, but my instructor did mention this in the Designer class I took a couple weeks ago. They cannot share a home either.

I have embarked down a dark path. I have just installed Oracle 8.1.6 on NT,
forsaking my familiar UNIX environment. Well actually that install and
database creation went very well, but now I am attempting to install
designer on the NT server as well. Actually I am just trying to get their
preconfigured repository installed so I can use designer from a W98
workstation, and in attempting to do so I have installed designer on the
Server as well.

My problem is this. When installing designer on the server it will not
install to the same ORACLE_HOME as my 8.1.6 install. It says that Oracle
Home is for 8.1.6 production, and asks for a different HOME. I comply,
though I am not sure why it can't have the same home, and eventually I
progress through the install only to get a message that I don't have an
Oracle 8 enterprise edition database up and running. The Oracle 8i database
Installed above is indeed an enterprise edition.

Is this a problem with the designer 6 media being incompatible with the 8i
database? Anyone see this
