Ahsoke,
8.0 and 8.1 are versions.
8.1.6 and 8.1.7 are releases of the same version.
Given that, I'm surprised the installer is complaining.
I installed both 8.1.6 and 8.1.7 on an NT server 2 weeks ago, no problems.
You should be able to put as many copies of any version you want
on a Solaris box.
IIRC, full OFA compliance requires a separate ORACLE_HOME for
each app on a machine.
Maybe an installer problem? Just guessing, I've never run into that.
Have you tried MetaLink?

Subject: Oracle 8.1.6 Installation error
Greetings,
I was trying to install oracle 8.1.6 on a Sun Solaris(2.7) box.
But I get an error saying that you cannot install 8.1.6 when you have
already installed 8.1.7 in this box.
I was under impression that you can install a lower version of Oracle in
the same box.
Could you please confirm this.
Thanks,
Ashoke
