[Quoted] [Quoted] This is what I ended up doing, except the universal installer crashed [Quoted] when deinstalling! I ended up with a terrible mess in my registry! I had to blow away all my installed oracle products and try to clean the registry by hand. I even have leftover keys under HKLM/Software/Oracle [Quoted] that can't be viewed or deleted for some reason (as if my registry got corrupted during the crash)? Anyhow I managed to clean it up enough and [Quoted] reinstall everything starting with designer, and it all went okay. Now [Quoted] I have to create the repository. What a pain that they don't have scripts to build this for you.

[Quoted] I am evaluating this tool. So far I don't have anything good to say about it!

Thanks,
