Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> 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.
:(

>>>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

Patrice: If you're talking about the filesystem,
everything should be underthe %ORACLE_HOME% directory
(usually c:\oracle\ora81 or the like). Theregistry
entries are all in HKLM\Software\Oracle. Just run regedit and
deletethis key to remove all the Oracle registry keys.
Also, the OUI will notuninstall itself. List, please
correct me if I'm mistaken here. Jon

services. What about Oracle homes? The Oracle
Universal Installer appears tobe doing a poor job of
cleaning those up when we de-install Oracle software.
