Are you installing Forms 6i into a different Oracle Home from 8.1.7 as the release notes surely call for? The registration file is probably the file called runinstallerLocation or something like that in /var/opt/oracle (going from memory here - there's only this file and oratab in that directory anyway).
Before you install, rename that file and remove all oracle environment variables (path, ld_library_path, SID and HOME)

Above all, read or reread the release notes. Received on Sat Jul 21 2001 - 16:48:55 CDT
