Re: developer installation problems

Frits,
[Quoted] I think there are two problems here. Firstly the installer of Developer 6
[Quoted] is not Y2K compliant (at least it was not in February this year when I
downloaded it) and you have to download an updated installer. Secondly
[Quoted] Developer 6 should be installed first and into its default home directory
[Quoted] called "win95" (I believe). Dev6 does not support multiple homes and must
[Quoted] live in the default home. Then install 8i products into a new Oracle home.
After that things should work fine.
[Quoted] In you case I recommend to delete all Oracle keys from the registry and
[Quoted] clear any path settings before re-installing.
Good Luck
Markus
