Re: Is Oracle 8i Client installed? (NT)

Have a look at the key HKLM/Software/ORACLE, you'll find keys names HOME0, HOME1, ...
In these keys there is a value named ORACLE_HOME that gives you the Oracle Home.
There is also a value ORACLE_GROUP_NAME which data is "Oracle for Windows NT" in Oracle7 and Oracle8 and "Oracle - <oracle home name>" for Oracle8i.

You'll find the path in the key ALL_HOME/IDn, value PATH.

Have a nice day
