RE: Patch 8174 in 2nd Oracle Home

When I applied 8.1.7.3 (not 8.1.7.4 though) to my 8.1.7 oracle db on Solaris 2.8, $ORACLE_HOME was not changed. If you already have 8.1.7 installed, you don't need another oracle home for 8.1.7.4. Your problem might be due to two copied of 8.1.7 vanilla on your system.
