Oracle (at least 8.0.5 - don't know for 8i) installs into NT 4.0 in a way which makes it hard to deinstall. Neither there is a decent Uninstaller nor there is a way to do it via Add/Remove Programs in the system setup group.

I used regedt32 and del /s resp. explorer to remove all traces of Oracle I could find though still I'm not sure whether I have found all.

Also Oracle may have installed DLLs which stay left in the system unless I will be doing a complete NT reinstall.

Weird.

Another side note: The 8.0.5 installer from the CD crashes randomly. Very very instable. (This is NT 4.0 SP6a or SP6)
