I am new to the WebDB product and am attempting to install it on my desktop. I just installed Oracle 8i on the machine which has Windows NT

4.0 Workstation OS. When I run the WebDB install (v.2.0.5 for NT), the first thing it asks me in the Oracle Installation Settings window is the

ORacle home, which I specify as 'DEFAULT_HOME' which is what I set up for the 8i installation. For location, I provide the location of
[Quoted] 'D:\Oracle\Ora81' which is where it was set up. language is English of
course. I get a 'general Information' message that says:

The location specified, "D:\Oracle\Ora81' is already used as an Oracle home for 'Oracle 815 Production'. It cannot b use as an Oracle home for

'nt'.

I click on OK, and I am taken back to the Oracle Installation Settings, and I am not able to get past this.

Also, not knowing what I was doing, I thought I would specify a new Oracle home and I typed in the name: 'WEBDB_HOME' and location:
[Quoted] 'D:\WEBDB' and clicked OK. It prompts me to choose between typical
install and Custom Install. I choose Typical.. and say OK. It asks me for the SYS password, and I type it in without changing host anme or port# info, and click OK. I get an error:

PL/SQL Web Toolkit does not support multiple installations, and therefore cannot b installed on 'WEBDB_HOME'. It can only be installed on 'DEFAULT_HOME'. In order to install PL/SQL Web Toolkit, please run the Installer again, and select 'DEFAULT_HOME as the target location. I say OK and the installation software closes!

Can someone tell me how I can fix this problem? I have tried both approaches and do seem to get anywhere.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks
