Hi,

I had similar problems with installing a new Oracle version (I had a 8.0.5 client installed before).

There was a problem with ORACLE_HOME settings. I had to delete the Software/Oracle tree from the registry (LOCAL_MACHINE) to get the setup to run.

This "feature" is documented somewhere on Metalink.
