Hi Joe,

I don't know for sure but I'll take a guess that Discoverer 3.1.36.6 is not multiple homes compliant on NT.

If this is the case, then what I would do is

1) backup your Oracle registry tree & other stuff
2) Clean your NT machine of Oracle
3) Install Discoverer first - it will go into the default Oracle home, but

you can still give it a OFA name & dir structure if your want. 4) Then install 816

I have used this approach to install 7.3.4 client tools and Oracle 816 on the same machine.
Similar steps had to be followed with earlier Designer versions.

Regards,
Bruce

Oracle 8.1.6 exists on Windows NT Environment.

Trying to install Oracle Discoverer Administration Edition Version 3.1.36.6.0 on the same machine.

got it installed and it hosed up oracle.

it appears when trying to install it, it doesnt want to install in the orahome81 place and it wont install in its own home.

so i surfed the web and found a thing about too many .rgs files, so i renamed the one in the ora81 directory(i think it was under orainst) and poof got it installed but it hosed up oracle 8.1, sqlplus and svrmgrl both would dr watson out.

reinstalled the oracle software and now discoverer is not found, cache-22.

anyone have any luck with this? Received on Sun Jan 14 2001 - 17:27:25 CST
