As the message says: you can't install Designer 6i in the same home, you need to install it in a different home,
so when the home dialog pops up, you need to override Oracle 82 beta, choose a new name and choose a new directory.
All Designer 6i docs are up on http://technet.oracle.com , this usually also includes the installation docs.
