My experience with the Oracle Universal Installer and uninstalling is, basically, it leaves itself installed after a full uninstall, it leaves the registry full of cr*p and it doesn't always uninstall everything asked for. As an installer, it usually works, as an uninstaller, it fails miserably. There is a note somewhere on MetaLink (sorry, I don't have the number) which gives details of doing a clean install before a re-install. I suspect it also leaves bits of Java lying around all over the place as well.

Regards,
Norman.
