Interesting question, I have also wondered about that.

For those of you not forced ^H^H^H^H^H^H privileged to work on Windows, the structure of the registry entries changed in 10g.

It would appear that a new key would be created for each new Oracle home, so I would guess multiple 10g installations would work just fine. I just have
not tried it.

eg. my laptop has a HKLM/Oracle/KEY_OraDb10g_home1 key

If another copy/version of Oracle 1-g were installed, a new registry key of KEY_OraDb10g_home2 would be created.
