If there are other products installed through the OUI, create a copy of the oraInst.loc file (depending on the UNIX system, possibly in /etc or /var/opt/oracle). Modify the inventory_loc parameter to point to a different location for the OUI to create the oraInventory directory. Run the installer using the -invPtrLoc parameter (eg: runInstaller -invPtrLoc /PATH/oraInst.loc). This will retain the existing oraInventory directory and create a new one for use by the new product. ==================================== HTHU Ankur Shah Oracle DBA DHR-GA The information contained in this communication, including attachments, is strictly confidential and for the intended use of the addressee only; it may also contain proprietary, price sensitive, or legally privileged information.
