I backed up my registry before I installed it. Do you suppose if restored that registry and just deleted any Oracle directories (and then rebooted), that would do it? Does Oracle place files in any Windows directories (dlls, etc.)?

Thanks,
JoJo

Darn Windoze !!
Looks like you need to manually get rid of the entire Oracle directory structure, and remove the "registry" entries (after saving current registry:), and then rebooting to start afresh. Good Luck,

Hi all,

I just tried to install Oracle 9i personal edition for Win98 on my Win98 PC.

After quite a bit of installation, it got to a part where it was creating some database or something, and I got an error: "The program encountered an invalid page exception. Fault location: 0028:0022 Interrupts in service: None" And it advised me to reboot, which I did.

Now I cannot get the installation program to re-start, no matter what I do, from the CD-ROM, from the computer, from running various programs on the CD-ROM, what have you. I can't un-install it because (a) it doesn't show up on Windows' uninstall list and (b) the Oracle installer won't run.

It starts to run (a brief flash of the "installer" graphic), then the CD-ROM quits and nothing happens.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
JoJo
