Oracle Client installation.

I was trying to install the Oracle Client on the server.The server (windows 2000) have Oracle 9i Enterprise edition.When I was trying to install the Client from Oracle 8(Enterprise edition) CD, I have encounter with the following error.

Error
The location specified,"E:\oracle\ora92" is already used as an Oracle home for 'Oracle82 Beta'.It cannot be used as an Oracle home for 'nt'.

Then I have created a new folder on drive D with Oracle8_Client name.But when i was trying to install the Oracle in the that folder, I have encounter with the following error.

Home change information

The oracle installer has detected that you already have an existing Oracle home;E:\Oracle\ora92.Selecting a different location will disable your currently installed oracle products.Choose Back to select the existing location.Choose Ok to confirm your new selection.

How can i install the Oracle client???

any suggestions???

Why do you want to install the client from an older version into something which has a newer version?

do you want to use the v8 client to access v9 database? I do not think its possible as the database and server has to match. Now I do not know if this is also applicable to clients though
