[Quoted] In fact, I personally do not need 2 versions of the client, My job is to deploy application silently.

And people how are in charge of the Oracle Project asked us to make an unattended installation for client 8 and an other one for client 9. And said that we should make those 2 versions of the client to cohabit on the same computer.
