Installing Oracle tools

[C.O.Jones]

I want to learn Forms programming I've been to the Oracle
download site http://otn.oracle.com/software/index.html
I've downloaded installed 9i Personal edition for Windows XP.
That seems to be running OK. Now for Forms.


From the Development Tools section I've downloaded
Oracle 9i Forms developer. when I try to install I get the
message:

---------------------
"The location specified C\oracle\ora81 is already used as
an Oracle home for Oracle 82 Beta.

It cannot be used as an Oracle home for 'nt'
-----------------------


I've also tried installing Oracle Developer Suite 10g. This
gives me the message :

--------------------
Oracle Developer suite 10g cannot be installed into an existing
Oracle 9i 9.2.0.1.0 or higher Oracle Home
--------------------


What am I doing wrong? Using the wrong tool? Or the
wrong Oracle? Advise sought, please.

When all else fails, RTFM!
What part of "Oracle Developer suite 10g cannot be installed into an
existing Oracle 9i 9.2.0.1.0 or higher Oracle Home" do you NOT understand?

Since I have to spell it out :

Q1) What forms tool CAN I install into 9i 9.2.0.1.0

or, alternatively :

Q2) what type of Oracle software should I install to use Oracle Developer
10g


and in either case, where do I get it?

Products can be downloaded from http://otn.oracle.com

Oracle Doc. sets can be found at http://tahiti.oracle.com

Each Oracle s/w product needs to be installed into/under its own
"Oracle Home" tree.

For example you could have V9.0.1.5, V9.2.05 & V10.0.1 database
versions all installed on the same computer system each under
their own ORACLE_HOME tree.

You simply do NOT install "Forms" into a "database".
Forms can inter-operate against any number of versions of
Oracle databases "concurrently" (one DB per each login session).

The Oracle product compatibilty info is available at
