Installing forms 6i and forms 4.5 on the same Machine

[praveemk]

Hi ,
Can anyone tell me whether can we install Forms 6i and Forms 4.5 on the same machine, under a different directory and home. Forms 4.5 is already installed on Windows NT server. I have applications using forms 4.5 running on windows NT server. The database is running on a Unix machine. If i install under different homes, how to make the registory settings. I need to run applications which need to use forms 4.5 as well. I cannot fully shift to Forms 6i at once.
Is this possible...??

If I remember correctly, you cant´t do this because Forms 4.5 doesn´t permit multiple home neither 6i.

Currently I have Forms 4.5 & Forms 6i in the same machine, using Windows NT Server. I did it this way :

a) with clean machine, installed Forms 4.5 in the default home (it will make an home-directory of \ORANT\FORMS45

b) installed Forms6i in the default home (the destination-directory will be \ORANT\FORMS60

c) installed database (Oracle 8i 8.1.7) in ANOTHER Oracle-home.

d) copy tnsnames.ora from 8i home to Forms60 home.


===>> THIS way works, for sure.
