Concerns uninstalling 10g from windows XP

Oracle is not listed in the 'Add and Remove' window in my XP. Is this a problem?
I plan to delete the oracle folder (and all the databases within) and delete oracle entries in the registry. Later I plan to reinstall it. Of course this doesn't seem like a 'proper' uninstall since I'm not using the 'Add and Remove' window.
My concern is that with red hat enterprise, usually when we have a problem with oracle installation we have to reinstall the redhat operating system to insure we can reinstall oracle correctly, since the faulty install has left all kinds of modifications and files in a thousand different places. I'm wondering if I'll have this kind of problem since I'm not doing a 'proper' uninstall for oracle in windows?

You can safely delete the folder and registry entries. The process I follow is:
1. Shutdown the Oracle Services.
2. Delete the Folder
3. Delete the Registry Keys.
a. Use Regedt32 instead of regedit
b. After deleting the Oracle Keys, search for Legacy... series for Oracle and delete them also.
This ensures that nothing lies on my system.
BTW, Oracle folders means Oracle folder in Program files also.

    Hi!
    This depends on your EP release.
    For Basis release 6.40 (EP6) there should be an UNINSTSAP.EXE somewhere in your SAP-Filesystem which you need to run. Take care with the options you have, you might delete even the OS-Users (even on the domain) if you just click away without reading.
    For Basis release 7.00 (EP7) you call sapinst and select 'uninstall' under 'Additional Software Lifecycle tasks'. This will guide you through the process of uninstallation.
    If these operations fail you can manually clean the system by removing the files and cleaning the registry. This is only a sort of last resort though.

  • Help me uninstall cs4 from windows

    help me uninstall cs4 from windows I have cs5 and cannot open raw files thru bridge

    You can also look in the Windows System Tray for the Bridge CS4 icon and right-click on it. If "Start Bridge at Login" is checked in the menu that shows up, uncheck it to stop Bridge CS4 from starting when you log into Windows, then click on "Exit Bridge."
    You can then start Bridge CS5 and launch Camera Raw.

  • Months ago I tried to uninstall itunes from Windows 7 after an update failed. I couldn't do it because two files, ShellStreams.resources and ShellStreams.dll were in use. Any suggestions, please?

    Months ago I tried to uninstall itunes from Windows 7 after an update failed. I couldn't complete it because two files (ShellStreams.resources and ShellStreams.dll ) were in use. I'm ready to try again. Any Suggestions, please.

    See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for tips on repairing the iTunes installation. One of the tools mentioned there, Unlocker, should be able to force delete the files that you are having trouble removing.

    Hello,
    You could try and use the nokia pc suite's app installer to remove it from your device. You just go here:
    http://www.nokia.com.au/support/product-support/no​kia-pc-suites/compatibility-and-download
    and download the correct version for you, then install the pc suite and connect your phone with the data cable. If you didnt get the data cable in the box then you need to buy a CA-101 usb cable.
    The app installer allows you to view all of the installed apps on your device.
    Hope this helps. apart from just clicking and holding on the icon in your appmanager in the phone they are the only ways i know.
    Cheers

  • Uninstalling CS6 from Windows 8.1

    Hello, I installed programs from CS6 Web and Design Premium on my laptop to do some work while I was on vacation. I installed Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash, and now I cannot seem to be able uninstall them. They are installed on a Windows 8.1 laptop. I have deactivated them already, but I cannot find an uninstaller in the program files, and the programs are not listed in Programs and Features to uninstall.
    Please advise. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for replying, Ned Murphy. Unfortunately, this did not work. I tried the tool to remove all, as well as just CS6 programs, and no luck on either try.
    Any other suggestions?
    EDIT: Upon further inspection, your suggestion did actually work. The shortcuts just weren't removed from my Start page. My apologies, and thanks a ton

  • Uninstalling ICloud from Windows 7

    Hi everyone,
    My wife once downloaded and installed ICloud on her Windows 7 64 bytes laptop but she never uses it and doesn't neet it.  She asked me to uninstall it.
    So I went to the Control panel, saw the ICloud program and uninstalled it.  All went OK, and I restarted the laptop.  I returned to the control panel/Programs and functionality, and ICloud had dispeared.  But in the Start/All Programs, the ICloud folder is still there,, with all the included apps (calender, contacts, mail, photos, etc...) and if I click on one, let's say the calender for example, it ask me to login in ICloud..
    How can I completely remove ICloud from her computer?  I red numerous questionnings on this same subject, but didn't find a satisfying answer from this community, nor from Apple.  Can someone help me please?
    Jac1241

    I can't uninstall it anymore, because ICloud is not listed anymore in the Control panel/Programs.  I tried to reboot but had the same situation:  ICloud is nomore listed in Control panel/Programs.  I think Windows messed up.

  • Monitor the OEM 10g from Windows or Solaris

    Hi,
    I would like to monitor one instance Oracle 10g that is running on Solaris 5.10. I toolk the url (INFO: >>>>>>>>>>> The Database Control URL is http://zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz:1158/em <<<<<<<<<<<) on the file emca_2010-08-27_05-32-20-PM.log.
    Here my two questions about this:
    first - I'm now on my Windows where I like to monitor my instance that is running on Solaris. I just put the url on my browse, but it can't open the url. The ping on the solaris is working. Any idea about the reason of why I can't access my instance with this url?
    second - I'm using the exceed tool to access the solaris. My problem on the Solaris is that I don't know how start the browser there. If you know, can you tell me, please.
    The output of the emctl status of dbconsole or agent is that they are running.
    Thanks in advance,
    Serge

    Dear 791633,
    Please see the emctl port number;
    $ emctl status dbconsoleYou should try different names to resolve it on the browser like ;
    http://ip_address_here:1158/em
    http://host_name_here:1158/emOf course the host name should be known on the windows box.
    Hope That Helps.

  • Itunes did not uninstall cleanly from windows 7

    I uninstalled I tunes from my PC, and the itunes suport programs did not completely uninstall. Now I cannot add Itunes back on the PC.

    Seems to have stopped - not sure why but I suspect it was getting stuck trying to find a couple of album covers after I imported my library (though there was no notice of this). Anyway, I walked through the entire library and added any missing covers and it seems to have stopped the behaviour.
