Another option... it may be much easier to setup a batch file to do the uninstall.
Basic steps involved are,
1) Query registry for HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE_HOME and INST_LOC. 2) Using svc command line tools, stop any ORACLE% services and remove them.
3) Remove ORACLE_HOME and INST_LOC.
4) Remove HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE registry key.
