Purpose

You cannot install the Oracle Financial Services Applications (OFSA) modules on a Windows XP PC that already has the Oracle 9i client installed. When you try to install from the "win32" folder, you get the following error after selecting a language:

The location specified, "C:\Program Files\Oracle\ora92", is already used as an Oracle home for 'Oracle 92'.
It cannot be used as an Oracle Home for 'nt'.

Note: If installing OFSA software from a remote server and not a CD, you must map the remote location to a network drive (Tools > Map Network Drive...) or you may received additional errors.

Steps To Reproduce:

• Go to the remote server where the OFSA software is located
• Map the remote server to a network drive on the PC
• Go to the "win32" folder
• Double click on "setup.exe"
• Select a language

The Oracle home error occurs.
