Run Regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE and save the branch to a file as backup. Delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE key then the install programs will work. You will then need to save that branch to another file and then try to integrate the two files and decide which objects you want to use. Be sure to leave the ORACLE_HOME pointing to the laptop install location. You should then be able to add the network TNSNAMES.ORA entries to the local TNSNAMES.ORA.
