Re: Error while installing Oracle 8 PE

Don't know if this is your situation but here goes...

Remove PO7 ENTIRELY from your system. Not just using the Oracle installer but every reference to it in your registry. (Make a backup first). It was annoying as heck the first time I attempted an install and Oracle Support didn't know anything about it.

Really there are two problems. PO7 doesn't uninstall completely and PO8 can't handle that.
