Re: cleaning up oracle homes on NT
To avoid this problem on cleaning Registry what I do know (after painful rebuilds of machines) is before I install any new Oracle Software, I export (Backup) the oracle key from the registry and save it with a proper description i.e.. Reg_before_9iAS, then I proceed to do the installs etc. etc. If anything goes wrong then I delete the software and restore the registry from the backup. I'm back to where I started.

Re: cleaning up oracle homes on NT
Patrice: If you're talking about the filesystem, everything should be under the %ORACLE_HOME% directory (usually c:\oracle\ora81 or the like). The registry entries are all in HKLM\Software\Oracle. Just run regedit and delete this key to remove all the Oracle registry keys. Also, the OUI will not uninstall itself. List, please correct me if I'm mistaken here.

RE: cleaning up oracle homes on NT
I broke oracle on NT one time by messing with them, i thought i'd do it manually, so i tinkered with registry entries, etc, eventually had to blow away all of the oracle stuff and start over. :( joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/01/01 09:10AM I don't want to remove all the oracle homes, just one of many.I noticed they are in sequential order, home0, home1, home2, etc.What would happen if I removed home0 or home1? Would it confuse Oracle?With the size of Oracle software, it is not always practical to delete allthe Oracle homes when only one product has been de-installed. What if forexample you wanted to upgrade one piece of software, but leave the othersintact?During installation we can specify yet another oracle home to install thesoftware, but then the registry gets cluttered with nonexistent homeentries.Regards,Patrice BoivinSystems Analyst (Oracle Certified DBA) -Original Message- From: Jon Walthour [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2001 9:40 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Re: cleaning up oracle homes on NT Patrice: If you're talking about the filesystem, everything should be underthe %ORACLE_HOME% directory (usually c:\oracle\ora81 or the like).

Re: cleaning up oracle homes on NT
I asked about this a ways back when I wanted to remove only one version of Oracle. I ended up hosing up the registry and having to completely wipe the hard drive and start over. Reinstall NT, etc, etc. Be very careful with deleting registry entries :) But, now I have a nice clean NT machine with 8i running. Thank god it was a test machine! I did not find a way to remove only one version btw. I had to remove ALL oracle components and reinstall only the version I wanted to run. I also don't have metalink access, so no help from there.
