Help installing Oracle 9i after installing Discoverer

[Monica Roman]

Hello,

Disclaimer: I'm a TOTAL rookie.

I just went through unistalling Oracle to be able to install
Discoverer, which was succesful. (Our in-house Oracle support person
said that if I did the Oracle_home renaming workaround, Oracle would
not support it.) Now I just tried re-installing Oracle 9i and I
encountered the same problem: it won't let me install on an Oracle
home where there are Oracle 7 or 8.0 components (!)

What can I do?

Thanks!!

Monica

you must install 9i before Discoverer

also you might have to go down a version of SQL*Plus depending
on the version of Discoverer your using. I encountered this problem
with Discoverer 4.1 such that SQL*Plus had to go down to version 8.0
