You should not have any issues.I have the same software on my machine. One question though. Why would you want Oracle XE if you already have DB2? Oracle XE is very limited. Look here to compare the two
http://freedb2.com/2008/06/19/comparing-free-databases-oracle-xe-vs-db2-express-c/. With the recent acquisition of MySQL by Oracle one really wonders if Oracle XE has any future. It has ot been updated in the last 3 years or so and that is prior to MySQL acquisition. Don't think it si going to be any better now.
