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 Certified DBA)    -----Original

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 Walthour    ----- Original Message
