You may be able to make this work by using 16-bit Forms 4.5 and a 32-bit Forms 6.0. We are currently able to get Forms 4.5 16-bit and Forms 4.5 32-bit to co-exist happily on the same machine this way.

I have also heard of developers being able to run Forms 4.5 32-bit and Forms 5.0 32-bit on the same machine, but not simultaneously. You can keep both versions on your hard disk but in order to switch from one to another you need to make several registry settings changes. Unfortuneately, this too cumbersome for end users who want to run mutliple Forms 32-bit versions.

Is anyone sucessfully deploying multiple versions of 32-bit Forms applications to a user? Specifically, is anyone deploying both Forms 4.5 32-bit and Forms 6.0 32-bit on the same client computer, simultaneously?
Also, would deploying Forms 6.0 applications as a web applications simply eliminate the version problems all together?
