Re: installation / recovery question

Antje,

Have you ever completely removed Oracle from a Windoze machine and gone throught the consequent cleanup of the registry?

If not, MetaLink document 124353.1 describes the process. There are many more entries for Oracle in the registry for than what you will see in HKLM\Oracle.

I mention this because I see someone has responded that you just export/import the Oracle registry key, but that won't likely work.

Just reinstall Oracle, it's much safer.
