RE: upgrade 8-9 and ofa compliance

I'm just curious:
You mention "registry settings", but the slashes on your paths go in this -> / direction.

At least in the past, there is a difference in what you must do if you are on Unix or non-Unix. With non-Unix, completely eliminating everything of a previous installation involves the use of regedt32 (Oh boy!).

At our shop, to install a new version of Oracle on a non-Unix box, we remove everything by hand PRIOR to installing the new version: All registry entries, all Oracle binaries, and the oracle directory (er ... folder) in the program files directory (where the inventory file is). This might be unnecessary paranoia; but when on non-Unix, paranoia is good.
