Re: Unistalling 8i in Win98!!!!!!

You want to delete as well the c:\program files\oracle folder that has been created as part of the install with log details of installation, etc. And if you have any service created you might need to check the registry and get rid of those. Check
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\currentcontrolset\services\ ... all the keys starting with Oracle.
