I have the following problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have installed Oracle Enterprise Version 9i. During installation,
something went wrong and it doesnt work ( was trying to get only the
packages I wanted). I am now trying to uninstall and reinstall again.
I have tried the following:
- Use the universal uninstaller. Hangs when I go to uninstall
products. I suspect the problem is somewhere in the oracle inventory
file. Since uninstaller cannot read the inventory, cannot perform
uninstall. I sometimes get a "cannot obtain lock" message. I cannot
even get a list of existing products.
- Manual uninstalling by removing the oracle folder. Fails because
the file apache.exe is in use. Tried to manuanlly killing apache.exe
thread but failed. It appears that I have 2 apache.exe threads running
at the same time. Thus I cant kill one or the other. Result, oracle
still there.
I suspect I must have done something to cause oracle to run in the
background somehow. I have a isqlplus process running and it cannot be
killed. Tells me its in use. Its there even if I manually deleta the
sqlplus folder.
