Jay:

When you do the install, insure that you use the 9i installer to install the 8i software. If you don't , the 8i installer will write to the inventory file and that would be bad. The 8i installer would not be able to read the file and would not know that 9i is already installed. Believe me, you do not want this to happen. So, as long as you use the resident installer, 9i, then you should not have a problem installing the 8i software.

Hello:

I got an odd request today to install 8.1.7 on an existing server which is running 9.2 (Windows 2000).
Has anyone successfully been able to install Oracle 8.1.7 on the same Windows Server that already has 9.2 running? I know that if you install 8.1.7 then 9.2 both in different homes it will work, but I have never seen it work where 9.2 was installed first. I have not been able to locate a test box yet and was wondering if it is possible and if so if there are any pitfalls I should watchout for, other then the standard Windows stuff....

Thanks In advance,
Jay
