Re: How to COMPLETELY uninstall 8.0.5 on NT 4.0?

To create a clean machine in NT requires that you take out the sledgehammer. Here are steps that Oracle provided me with:

1. Delete the database and NT service
2. Uninstall everything you can with the Oracle Installer
3. Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
4. Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC
5. Remove all keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services that begin with 'Oracle'
6. Remove all keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Eventlog\Application that begin with 'Oracle'
7. Remove the %ORACLE_HOME% path and JRE path from Control panel - System - Environment
8. Reboot your machine
9. Delete your Oracle directories
10. Delete C:\Program Files\Oracle
11. Delete icons

What could be simpler?
