I have done the impossible! ;-]
I also had the problems installing Oracle8i and Designer 6 on the same machine.
Here's the solution:

1. install Oracle8i
2. when installing Designer6 into the same oracle_home you get some error message, so you have to create a new oracle_home for the Designer6. But it's not done yet. When you try to install Designer into the new oracle_home you will get the errors later during the installation (thanx Oracle!).
3. after creating the new oracle_home you have change the registry: in hkey_local_machine\software\oracle\all_homes you should find the key default_home with the oracle_home for the Oracle8i change it to the new oracle_home
4. go on with Designer installation

This is a bit tricky. But i found out without any Oracle help files. Can you find any documentation on that?

h.t.h.
