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.

Hello:

I got an odd request today to install 8.1.7 on an existing server which is
running 9.2 (Windows 2000).
Has anyone successfully been able to install Oracle 8.1.7 on the same
Windows Server that already has 9.2 running?
I know that if you install 8.1.7 then 9.2 both in different homes it will
work, but I have never seen it work where 9.2 was installed first.
I have not been able to locate a test box yet and was wondering if it is
possible and if so if there are any pitfalls I should watchout for, other
then the standard Windows stuff....
