Below services post was needed for the following:
I had a machine with Oracle 9 installed, and wanted to uninstall it. The uninstlaler installed on disk however told me that I needed a newer installer to remove the software (old installer used for base, then newer installer on CD used for patches/upgrades, and the new installer not installed on the harddisk). So this is what I learned from a colleague who used to work at Oracle:
- Stop all oracle services
- Remove all oracle services
- Delete c:\oracle
- Delete c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu\oracle*
- Delete c:\program files\oracle
- Start regedit and delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle
Done!
Apparently at Oracle the same method is used quite often. 🙂
