I don't think you have to reinstall ... but I'm not sure since I've only installed while being a member of the Admin group. Believe me, you wouldn't like all the registry "work" involved in completely removing a previous install of Oracle (the Universal Installer isn't very universal in its uninstall phase).

Perhaps another member of the ng has tried a non-admin install and can answer your question. Received on Thu Oct 10 2002 - 10:52:39 CDT
