Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Developer 2000 upgrade for 300+ Clients
Yeah, winistall works great...
It overwrites everything. Oracle has the registry set up to store different oracle homes whenever you install a new version, and wininstall will just overwrite all this. If you create the wininstall package on a machine that has nothing on it, it will just throw stuff into the first oracle home "HOME0", and hose you up good.
Oh, and don't even think about uninstalling with it. It will remove dll's that are needed by other programs simply because the dll was included in the install package.
Yes, I love wininstall.
