registry problems

Boy, I'm stumped. I've done this zillons of times on NT, but this is the first try on Win2k.....

I have a software key, HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle, that I am unable to delete.

Here are the rest of the entries...

HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle
..All_Homes
....ID1
......\Registry Backup
..Backup
....\Registry Backup

There are no other values. The keys have no values. The software directories do not exist. There are no other entries in the registry relating to Oracle.

I have tried an upgrade reinstall of Win2k - no difference I tried applying SP1 - no difference.

Any ideas on getting rid of this puppy? Oracle tells me that they do not know what their software will do if I try to install with this key in the registry.

Thx - Don
