I Installed Reports 6i in the default_home (c:\orant) and then installed oracle 8.1.7 in a different home ora81home (c:\oracle\ora81).

Infact 8i did not even finish its installation. It did not create the starter database, did not install the database configuration assistant and a lot of other stuff. Infact it des not even show the 8i installation in the installed product list in the oracle installer.

If I install 8i first and then install reports 6i it installs fine. ofcourse they have to be on different Homes as oracle does not even allow you to install reports 6i in an existing oracle 8i home.

Any reason why installing oracle's products is so cumbersome ?

Thanks
