10g client/database installation

All,

We're in the process of upgrading our databases to release 10.2.0.3.0 on HP Tru64 machines. I downloaded the database server installation file, read the installation guide and installed the software. One of the choices during the installation was 'Oracle Programmer', which I checked.

On past installations, this included the ProC and ProCobol executables. For this installation, it doesn't. There is a note in the installation guide that says it doesn't include the client. I didn't actually drill down on the Oracle Programmer choice, so I don't know if there was something else there or not.

I did download the Oracle client for 10.2.0.2.0 and can install it, too, but it says I can't install it into an existing ORACLE_HOME. Is that really true?

Any suggestions...did I miss something that should be so very obvious?

Thanks,
