I use a combination of all kind of things to detect Oracle-Homes: 1.) a "1 to 20" loop to check for \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOMExx 2.) %ORACLE_HOME% environment variable 3.) a scan of all entries in %PATH% environment variable .. checking if the \bin directory has a file called oracle.key (oracle.key contains a single text line pointing back to the registry path used by this oracle installation) in my experience you will find a lot of computers out there in the wild that have no registry entries or no PATH-entries or even both. Especially with enterprise installations scenarios that often have been installed by filecopy rather then trough the installer.
