Trash the directories, kill the registry entries and you're golden. I kill Oracle on windoze all the time this way.

Hey all,

I know that this has been addressed on the list before, so if there's an archive yet (I've been away for a bit) just point me to it. I made the terrible, heinous mistake of 1) installing Personal Oracle 8.1.6 on my laptop, which went well, then 2) installing Oracle Developer 6i on the same laptop. I was unaware that Dev does not play with 8.1, as I have been fortunate enough not to deal with bloody GUI's for many years now. Now, when I try to uninstall 6i, the installer crashes. I can't uninstall the DB, because of registry variables that point to the wrong Oracle home, and when I try to manually change them, nothing works at all. Can I just trash the directories, search for all registry variables and remove them?

Or do I need to format the disk? :)
