Cannot uninstall/re install Oracle 8.1.7

On a W2K Pro SP3, I started the installation of 8.1.7
I had a power outage, so I uninstalled and tried to re install Oracle.
After uninstallation, I noticed that a lot of files / registry entries persisted
During the following install, I get several messages like
Service xxx already exist
Windows error: cannot start service yyy
At the end, it tells me the install is successful.
The following services are indeed running:
OracleOraHome81TNSListener
OracleServiceOGENIUS
However, when I try to login with SQL Plus (system/manager), I get the following error:
ORA-12560: TNS : adapter or protocol error
What can I do to fully uninstall 8.1.7 and perform a brand new installation that works ?
Thanks a lot to everybody
André

I have seen this before.
Quick Fix:
The problem with files still named xxxxxO is caused by the install. Sometimes it
works to just copy the file in this case:
$cp lsnrctlO lsnrctl
There are probably other files that were not renamed by the install:
Finally, the listener can run! yipee.. :)
It failed to run because there're some file 'missing'.
I told u before, lsnrctl didn't exist in my box. Well, I found that not only lnsrctl.
There're three more files needed to be renamed. So, total in the list are
dbsnmp, lsnrctl, tnslsnr, and oratclsh.
All of them still have their odd xxxxO name (I should have known it from
the start).
Once I copied all the file to their 'proper' name, the listener can start
successfully. (Though i think the listener need only lsnrctl and tnslsnr,
i still renamed them all).
But I wonder, why does the installer not rename those files?
I found that those file were created normally during installation, until
i run setup_stubs.sh.
Is there any bug on setup_stubs.sh? Why you didn't experience it as I did?
However, the most important things is, the database running well :)

  • Cannot uninstall or install iTunes and more...

    Should the advice above not fix things for you...
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Cannot uninstall or install iTunes 9.1

    Hi, I am trying to uninstall iTunes 9.1 since there was an error and I could not upgrade to 9.2 but it won't let me. I always get the following error:
    " Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi\4df069.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory. "
    I also cannot repair/reinstall iTunes. In fact I can no longer even open iTunes as it says it cannot find Apple Application Support (I deleted that when trying to uninstall iTunes).
    Can someone please help me? Thanks!

  • I cannot uninstall or install updated version of iTunes due to "missing .msi file".

    I have been having an issue with updating my iTunes for the past month or so, and it turns out my mom is having the same issue. Both of our iPods and iPads immdiatly updated to iTunes 10.7, however both of our computers come up with the same error message saying the iTunes.msi file cant be located. I also cannot uninstall for the same reason. This just started happening about a month ago. I dont understand what happened. When I got to documents however I can see the iTunes setup file right there! Help! Now neither of us can sync.

    For those having this same problem, someone else on here had a solution that worked really well if you have Windows. They directed me to a site ---> http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    From there on the righthand side you'll see links indicated by reaccuring double arrows labeled Downloaded locations. Click one of them, proceed to download. Once completed go to Start> All Programs> Windows Install Clean Up.
    Click it and find all iTunes files and remove them. After that restart your laptop or PC and then try and download iTunes 10.7 again. It worked out for me really well. (:

  • Cannot Uninstall or Install CC Desktop

    I have been using CC Desktop for over a year now and now cannot access it.
    I have read the forums and tried all of the options that have been suggested. Our IT guy has also looked and says it is not a problem with our firewall or filter.
    - I cannot uninstall the current version from my computer
    - I have ran the Cleaner Tool
    - I have changed the OOBO file
    When I click on the CC desktop this is the message I get:
    I haven't been able to log in for over month now and am paying money for this.
    I could really use some help here!

    Hi dwprice71,
    Kindly try :Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
    I would also recommend to try it on a different network, to test if there is any issue with the network also, try the same on another machine on same network to test if  the issue is with the machine.
    Make sure that the below mentioned list is added as exception to your firewall and blacklist.

  • Windows Xp Cannot Uninstall or Install Adobe Air.

    I installed a new application that when I booted it It displayed the "This application requires Adobe air wich cannot be found" error. I already have adobe air, so I tried installing the latest version of air (didn't work), then after that I tried unstalling air but got the "This application requires Adobe air wich cannot be found" error again. I even tried manually uninstalling it and then reinstalling it but to no avail.
    If any body could help with my promblem it would be much apreciated.

    Please share the exact error message which you are getting while running the application? My guess is an appropriate Adobe AIR version is required for running this application. You can use the documentation http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/troubleshoot-air-installation-windows.html and use the check the determine the version  of Adobe AIR on your computer.

  • Cannot uninstall or install iTunes - help!

    I had iTunes 8.0 installed on a computer. Tried uninstalling and it won't. I get the error message:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes.msi" in the box below".
    I try the other "alternate path" but that doesn't work. I have tried uninstalling using Revo Uninstaller and CCLeaner and it doesn't uninstall. I have tried downloading iTunes 8.0 from apple.com and it won't even install it now. Another error message I get, when I try the alternate path is:
    "The path C:Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\iTunes 8.0.1.11\iTunes.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package iTunes.msi in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes".
    Help!

    What you need to do is to uninstall it using the Microsoft Uninstall Cleanup Utility.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Using this program usually eliminates all issues and error messages with the uninstalling of the iTunes program. Make sure you uninstall the following programs:
    1) Apple Mobile Device Support
    2) Apple Software Updates
    3) Quicktime
    4) iTunes
    Once all those are removed using the Microsoft Uninstall Cleanup Utility then you can go back to www.itunes.com and download/install the setup file again.

  • Cannot uninstall or install itunes!

    I logged onto itunes last night and it asked if I wanted to upgrade to the newest version. So I clicked "OK" and my computer froze up during the installation of the update. I had to do a hard boot and when I tried to install the update again it gave me an error message saying "Cannot run itunes some files required are missing. please re-install itunes" (or something like that), so I did an uninstall and halfway through the uninstall the same message popped up and wouldn't complete the uninstall! I went into C-drive and manually removed all folders and files related to Quicktime and itunes. I rebooted the PC and tried to install the new version of itunes again. It installed Quicktime, but the same error message popped up when it tried to install itunes.
    What should I do now?
    Thank you.
    God Bless

    I've just wasted 5 hours on this problem...one you all helped me solve. The delete programs did not do the trick, nor did the Windows utility. I basically manually deleted all of the Quicktime files - emptied the trash and rebooted, as suggested.
    Thanks for your input, but jeez, why can't Apple provide this support? Oh yeah, they created the problem and you Windows geniuses solved it - for free.
    Thanks again. Will I ever "upgrade" Itunes again?

  • Cannot uninstall current installed version of adobe.

    I am attempting to uninstall Adobe 9.4.5 as it is no longer opening my pdf files, and reinstall, but I am recieving this error message when I try to remove the program,,,,,
    This patch package cannot be opened. Verify the pacakge exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendo to verify that this is a valid window installed patch package.
    It has been working fine up until a few days ago, and I keep getting a notice to update but its giving me the same message about the patch package.
    Can anyone help me get this uninstalled and reinstalled as it is a pertinant to my work program.

    You may want to try the following.
    Remove all traces of Reader (not only the program) from your system using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can produce problems with Win 7, but you can still download it from from places like

    Then, download the Reader installer from

    and perform a clean install.

  • Cannot uninstall or install any newer versions of itunes

    My laptop recently had to have the registry recovered. I'm sure this problem is related to the registry, but I don't know what key is preventing this from happening. Whenever I try to install any newer versions of itunes I get an error about the apple updater software cannot be uninstalled because the associated .msi can't be found. I even point to the .msi and it still fails. I have even tried to completely remove itunes and I get the same error. First of all, I don't understand why apple has designed the install files to remove previous versions when merely upgrading them would fix any problems like this. So, if anyone knows how to fix this, please help! I am now several versions behind and am getting errors adding music to my shopping cart because of it.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Cannot uninstall/re-install CS3 master collection suite

    Hi,
    I’m having problems getting through this:
    I am running Windows 7
    I have installed Adobe CS3 Mater Collection Suite in trial version. The programs were working ok but
    After some days starting any of the programs gives this error:
    "You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help."
    I have tried to uninstall and re-install the suite without success: for install the setup would start but then just exits without any error or warning. For uninstalling in Control Panel it seems to load something but nothing comes up. For any other program I try to uninstall the process works without problems.
    I have followed Adobe article http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402048.html
    I have tried to run the Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool for Windows but it finds no Adobe products installed
    I haven’t used MSICUU2.exe as it has been discontinued from Microsoft
    I have tried to uninstall using Windows in Safe Mode but no luck, the uninstall does not start.
    I have tried to create a new user with admin rights to uninstall the Suite but no luck.
    thanks,

    I get this error even if I delete the ...AppData\LocalLow\Sun\ directory beforehand so I don't think it is a network problem. The files are on my computer.

  • I cannot uninstall or install firefox

    I was having trouble with flash player not working and decided to uninstall Firefox. ADD/REMOVE Programs cannot remove it. It says: "An error occurred when trying to remove Mozilla Firefox (3.6.16). It may have already been uninstalled."
    I also cannot delete the Mozilla Firefox folder from Program Files.
    Lastly, I cannot install a new copy of Firefox. The wizard crashes and says:"Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous uninstall of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" Rebooting does not fix the problem.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
