I have ora 10 client installed on my XP laptop and it works fine. I don't want to uninstall it.

Now trying to install ora9i server but the silly installer is behaving strange. It comes up with default destination name and path of this:

Name: OraClient10g_home1
Path: C:\Oracle\product\10.1.0\Client_1

I'm trying to change it so that it will install anywhere BUT here, but it won't let me. I try this:

Name: OraHome9i
Path: C:\Oracle\product\ora9i (also tried creating the ora9i directory first)

And I see this error message:

There was a problem in accessing the staging area.

ORACLE_HOME is NOT defined in my env vars, FYI.

thanks.
