I'll try again. What version of the Windows Operating System do you actually have. We've got the Service Pack but not the version. I'm going to guess it is Win2K but so far you've not stated it.

And as long as I'm guessing I'lll guess that Howard is correct and here's what I suggest you do.

Go into the registry and find the listing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / ORACLE. Rename it (very very carefully) to Oracle8. Exit the registry. Reboot the machine and retry the install. To switch versions, run 8 or run 9, rename the registry entry.
