If I understand your issue ... I have never seen this happen and doubt that installing a second copy of Oracle on a machine will make any difference. I think your issue is other than where you are looking. But I look forward to other responses that may differ.

A single installation of Oracle can support multiple databases and instances. The only reason I have ever seen for installing a second working copy of the software is to run multiple version simultaneously: And I prefer to use the compatible parameter in the init.ora and ignore vendor nonsense.
