I'm sure you deleted your ORACLE_HOME, but did you get the oracle directory that it sticks out in PROGRAM FILES with inventory info about the installation.

c:\Program Files\Oracle

I've seen a paper about completely getting rid of oracle on NT, I think it was at either metalink or OTN.

I've done an uninstall,
oradim -delete
gone thru the registries - hkey_local_machine and hkey_current_config and deleted everything that I could related to oracle. I deleted the oracle directories.
But when I went to reinstall - it still thought there was an older version -

where is it hiding this info?
Short of reinstalling NT how do you completely get rid of oracle?
(my intention is not to start a thread on the boat anchoring capabilities of
NT servers)
