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....
