I will abstract previous posts on this subject for you, I didn't yet install [Quoted] developer on my own system yet, so I don't have real world experience.The posts are pretty consistent though.

1 Developer doesn't understand the multiple home concept which is mandatory for Oracle 8i
[Quoted] 2 because of this you need to install Developer *first*, using the regular home c:\orant
3 After that you need to install Oracle 8i *in a different Oracle Home* 4 as you already have 8i installed, you now need to *de-install* 8i, complaints at Oracle.
5 as you probably end-up with different %ORACLE_HOME%\net[work|80]\admin directories, you need to setup sqlnet|net8 in both directories.
