Hi Harry,
I did this job just yestarday and it is not easy. On Windows 2000 I
tried to upgrade Oracle 8i to Oracle EE 8. There is a long check list.
Oracle advises just to uninstall the software and reinstalle the EE

There are more detailled articles in this news group on how to
uninstall oracle.
Good luck, Andras
