Re: 9i then 8i Installs

I haven't actually done it in this order, but I don't see any reason why the order would matter as long as you install into separate homes. In case you do run into problems, I would take out the refreneces to the Oracle 9 paths, including java from the path and classpath environment variables. Oracle 8i is using jre 1.1.7, Oracle 9.0 jre 1.1.8 and Oracle 9.2 jre 1.3.1 and with the OUI being java, there could be issues if a newer jre is in the path.
