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?

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
