Re: listener on windows using wrong directory structure

On Windows, the OUI has the irritating habit to put the newly installed home first in the %PATH% variable, which in my experience can really mess things up. For instance, the right frontend may load the wrong dll from another home and hence end up reading the wrong registry path for configuration files. I always make a point of removing all Oracle homes from the path after the installation completes - never broke anything yet and the executable must read the registry to find its dlls, etc.

Perhaps this helps..

Cheers,
Tony
