Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Oracle Homes on NT
Check your registry to ensure there are two entries for ORACLE_HOME.
Also when you try to start our 8.1.6 database ensure your ORACLE_HOME
environment variable is pointing at the 8.1.6 install. NT is very touchy
with
multiple Oracle installs, but if you are careful it works.
