RE: cleaning up oracle homes on NT

[JOE TESTA]

I broke oracle on NT one time by messing with them, i thought i'd do it manually, so i tinkered with registry entries, etc, eventually had to blow away all of the oracle stuff and start over.   :(   joe   >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/01/01 09:10AM >>> I don't want to remove all the oracle homes, just one of many. I noticed they are in sequential order, home0, home1, home2, etc. What would happen if I removed home0 or home1?  Would it confuse Oracle? With the size of Oracle software, it is not always practical to delete all the Oracle homes when only one product has been de-installed.  What if for example you wanted to upgrade one piece of software, but leave the others intact? During installation we can specify yet another oracle home to install the software, but then the registry gets cluttered with nonexistent home entries.

The registry     entries are all in HKLM\Software\Oracle. Just run regedit and delete this     key to remove all the Oracle registry keys. Also, the OUI will not uninstall     itself. List, please correct me if I'm mistaken here.     Jon Walthour     ----- Original Message -----     To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>     Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2001 7:41 AM     Andrea asked about removing NT services.     What about Oracle homes?  The Oracle Universal Installer appears to be doing     a poor job of cleaning those up when we de-install Oracle software.     Regards,     Patrice Boivin     Systems Analyst (Oracle Certified DBA)     Systems Admin & Operations | Admin. et Exploit. des syst�mes     Technology Services        | Services technologiques     Informatics Branch         | Direction de l'informatique     Maritimes Region, DFO      | R�gion des Maritimes, MPO     E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>     --     Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com     --     Author: Boivin, Patrice J       INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     Fat City Network Services    -- (858) 538-5051  FAX: (858) 538-5051     San Diego, California        -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists     --------------------------------------------------------------------     To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message     to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in     the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L     (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).  You may     also send the HELP command for other information (like subscribing).     --     Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com     --     Author: Jon Walthour       INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     Fat City Network Services    -- (858) 538-5051  FAX: (858) 538-5051     San Diego, California        -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists     --------------------------------------------------------------------     To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message     to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in     the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L     (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).  You may     also send the HELP command for other information (like subscribing). -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Boivin, Patrice J   INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services    -- (858) 538-5051  FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California        -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).  You may also send the HELP command for other information (like subscribing).
