I found the deinstall for Windows doc in MetaLink. The reference is Doc ID: Note: 208256.1

I was not aware that this was documented there and I didn't find it prior.

Editing the registry is preferable to formating C:, but I did not see specific registry entries documented before, so this gets me closer. Previous (non-Oracle) documents that I read said "delete anything that says oracle," which is downright dangerous.

It would be nice if the uninstall just worked without having to dink with the registry afterwords.
