Re: WebDB NT installation problems

Make sure you deinstall webdb properly first and remove references to it in the registry.
Setup the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to point to d:\oracle\ora81\network\admin
Run webdb installer and install to separate ORACLE_HOME (eg WEBDB in d:\oracle\webdb)
It should run OK from this point on assuming you are able to connect to your database (try setting your ORACLE_HOME to webdb home in a DOS box and try connecting using sqlplus -- plus80 system/password_at_oracle_sid , if that works you're definitely on the right track)
