This is why you setup an orainventory file specific to each oracle home.
YMMV.

Jay:
When you do the install, insure that you use the 9i installer to install
the 8i software. If you don't , the 8i installer will write to the
inventory file and that would be bad. The 8i installer would not be able
to read the file and would not know that 9i is already installed. Believe
me, you do not want this to happen. So, as long as you use the resident
installer, 9i, then you should not have a problem installing the 8i
software.

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....
Thanks In advance,
Jay
