developer installation problems

I'm fairly new to Oracle. To make at least a start with learning
Oracle / Oracle Developer. I downloaded (from technet) and installed
Oracle 8i on my Windows NT Server and installed the client on my
Windows 98 machine.
Then I continued with installing Devoloper (6?) on my Windows 98
machine. Unfortunately I got the following message:
The location specified d:Oracle\Ora81 is already used as an Oracle
home for Oracle 816 Production" It cannot be used as an Oracle home
for win95. Then I tried a different location and got the message that
it could only be installed on OraHome81, which referred to (i thought
d:\Oracle\Ora81) I tried to uninstall and reinstall again, but then
things got really messy. It looks like the uninstall procedures are
not really working.
At one stage I had developer in place but I couldn't connect to the
server using SQL*Plus. When I used the SQL*Plus from the Oracle 8i
client installation there was no problem connect whatsoever.
What am I doing wrong or how can I fix this?
Any help, suggestions would be appreciated.

Within a couple of minutes I had everything up and running including
the ODBC link, which I tested using Ms Access.
