If using Oracle as a back-end, I see this every time I install an additional Oracle application. The oracle installer pre-pends the path statement with the path to the newly installed home. I have to edit the path statement so that the Oracle Client (mine is 8.1.6) path comes before any other Oracle paths. This happens because Oracle has similarly named DLL's for the different applications, so the first DLL that it hits by searching the path statement that has the correct name is executed.
