Hi, I _think_ this is the right ng ...
Oracle 8.1.5 NT4, SP5
A couple of months ago, I put another disk in my computer with the
specific intent intent of doing some test work with Oracle 8i (and SAS and
other stuff). I assumed I would need to perform a few installs to work
things out, and probably a repartition or two. I recently decided to
start over and first uninstalled Oracle. Of course, Oracle itself handles
that, not "Add/Remove Programs" (uh, right?) Oracle vanishes from the new
partition. I happened to check Services, however, and found the Oracle
"Listener" and the Oracle SID stuff still present, though disabled. I
then did a "find" on ora and found a number of things from the original
install (on "C:", not "F:"). I assume I can go ahead and delete these
before I reinstall, though I wanted to be sure. But how do I remove the
services? I thought the uninstall took care of that. For this reason I
am a bit reluctant to delete the folders left:
\Program Files\Oracle
\TEMP\OraInstall
There are files in these. I'd prefer as clean a (re)install as possible,
and am less concerned with the files and folders than I am with the
services still showing up. Or is this nothing to worry about. Thanks for
any help,
