Dear Oracle Installers,

I have a rather odd problem! I installed Oracle but screwed up a thing or two and decided to start afresh. I did the following,

Removed the whole of the ...\9.2 directory structure
Removed all relevant \tmp files/directories
Relocated the Oracle home directory (removed the original home directory)

Now when I try to install I get an error message (before the Installer screen even appears) that I don't have permissions to write the inventory to "/u1/ora9home" - which was the original home directory, where the inventory was originally written and which now no longer exists.

Why aren't I being prompted for a new location for the Inventory? I assume that Oracle must have stored a vriable for this location somewhere on the system but I can't find it!

Any suggestions gratefully recieved.

Thanks.
