Re: Uninstalling Oracle on Windows NT

You haven't done anything wrong. This is as Oracle has intended. To remove the rest after you have used the Installer to remove most everything, just do a few more basic steps:

1. Delete the directory where you placed the software (D:\ORANT)
2. Start REGEDIT
3. Delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle subtree
4. In the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services subtree, delete any Oracle services not already deleted.

That's the rest!
HTH,
