I don't think it's relevant, given that it worked fine w/ 805 installation, but here it is..
\\Bill\users\technology\database\nt
 and the file _is_ there (and works w/o 8.1.7 install for 20 other ppl in this office)

I am not very familiar w/ Oracle on Windows, but I have 805 installed on c:\orant and 817 installed on c:\orant817

I can run a trace, but it won't show anything useful (I am sure it won't show the existence of TNS_ADMIN variable, and will just look at default locations)
