What about environment variables? Have you deleted them also?

Can't uninstall Oracle 10g client

Wow. I'm not sure this experience could have been any more frustrating. Now I can't uninstall oracle 10g client...
Some of the components you selected cannot be deinstalled because they are installed using Installer version 10.2.0.1.0. Please use Installer version 10.2.0.1.0 or higher
WHAT? Where do I find this new installer? I just want to revert back to 9i client so that hopefully my oledb connections to my oracle database will work again.
UPDATE: Okay. I managed to uninstall Oracle 10g client. It didn't solve my problem :(
I still get this error...
ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified
I just want to pretend like this whole upgrade episode never happened. What a nightmare.

I just had to click on the same setup.exe icon i used to install it. i didn't realize there was an uninstall option in the setup application.
As far as the error is concerned. When I installed 10g it set one of the registry values for 9i to "NA". Once I changed that registry value back to what it was it worked again. I guess Oracle changes the registry value of old installations in order to ensure they are not active anymore. Since I wanted a side-by-side installation of 10g and 9i I didn't want 9i deactivated. Everything is working fine now.

Apology accepted.
But yes, of course I was harsh (not at you, actually, but at the plonker who thinks he can tell me that 'echo $something' is "not right").
Do you know how many questions could be answered here if people weren't forever debating perfectly acceptable answers? If people actually stopped to read what had been written before deciding to add their tuppence-worth? If people stopped to think, "well, that's not how I would answer it... but it's good enough".
I see so many threads here where 58 people dive in to a thread to say, 'Me too'. Another 42 will dive in to say, 'that's not right' when actually it is. And another 137 or so will usually chime in to say nothing very much except to demonstrate that they didn't understand something that was explained a lot earlier on quite clearly. Threads go on and on, when actually all that was sought originally was a simple answer to a technical issue. God knows why it happens.
I have no problem at all being asked for clarification. I have no problem at all being corrected and having someone point out that actually that parameter doesn't exist, you made a typo, that's not the command to achieve X. When I am technically wrong, I would expect nothing less. But where so much of my time gets wasted is demonstrated in this thread perfectly. I answered the question in one post. It might not have been a perfect answer. There are many different ways of coming up with the answer on Windows, for example, and yet I didn't mention the registry at all or the Control Panel/System applet for checking environment variables once. And yet, despite all of that, in answer 1 there was sufficient information to make the OP happy. But no, that's not enough to shut some people up (and I am again not referring to you at this point).
I don't know what it is. Some sense of, maybe, in a democracy my opinion is as good as yours even if it's entirely unnecessary, potentially confusing and adds absolutely nothing to the outcome? A desire on the part of some people to boost their post numbers?
Too right I'm harsh. I am results-driven. I am here because I want to help others. Not because I think my opinions deserve a hearing even though the answer was posted ages ago. When I see something that looks like the opposite of that -grandstanding, look how clever I am, my opinion counts too- yeah, it annoys me somewhat. And largely because I usually end up having to untangle the confusion caused by unnecessary "contributions" from others.

How to Uninstall Oracle 10G release 1

I'm a newbie in Oracle DB.
I've been assigned to a new task to assist DBA teams to migration SQL server to Oracle server. I got a new PC which pre-installed 2 Oracles version (9i & 10G), the 9i is OK but the 10G DID NOT work properly and I'd liked to replace 10G release 1 with 10G release 2 (for testing purpose).
I did followed the instruction how to remove the 10G release 1 using the OUI, but the process ran forever ... ( see screenshot --> http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/5555/oui10g1qb8.jpg )
I'm also know that I can delete Oracle thru Regedit, but in some Reg. keys do not show the Oracle version (I want to keep the Oracle 9i).
Could someone please enlight me how to uninstall Oracle 10G ?
PC's info:
OS : Windows XP Prof.
1GB RAM
50GB free space
All the Oracle services have been disable before Uninstall.
Thanks Advance.
DTH.

Thanks Marcio ...
I'm current process the step by step to remove 10G release 1, if I've problem then I'll let you know
Thanks again.

Oracle XE has it's own forum - to register and discuss XE problems with XE experts use URL http://www.oracle.com/technology/xe/registration
Once you have registered, you sign in to the forums and the link to the XE forum is there. But you do have to sign in as the user who registered XE.
You will also need to provide a few more pieces of information:
1) actual distro and version of Linux
2) userid used to install XE (should be root)
3) userid used to run "/etc/init.d/oracle-xe start" (should be root)

Uninstall oracle 10g from Linux Red hat

is any body know the standard procedure to uninstall oracle 10g from linux red hat.

The correct answer is "Undo the changes you made during the install"
By this I mean:
Stop all of the processes
Delete the ORACLE_BASE directory (usually the one one level up from ORACLE_HOME)
Delete the oraInventory directory if it isn't inside ORACLE_BASE
Delete /etc/oratab, /etc/oraInst.loc
Delete /user/local/bin/coraenv, /user/local/bin/oraenv, /user/local/bin/dbhome
Undo any environment settings you may have modified (in .bash_profile and bashrc)
That should be just about it. That's how I usually clean out my system between installs.

Trying to uninstall oracle 10g express edition

Hello,
The title says it all.
I installed the application earlier and I'm now trying to unistall it.
I tried to use the "classic" unistall function from the control panel but it didn't work. When I clicked "unistall" the oracle icon disappeared and but the program is still there.
Is there any other way to unistall it?
The version is "oracle 10g express edition" installed on Windows vista.
Thanks in advance for you're help!
Gladys.

I used this process and it worked:
1. Stop all oracle services
2. Delete all oracle registry entries
3. Delete C:\program files\oracle directory
4. Delete oracle_home directory
5. Delete oracle items from the start menu.
Interesting link for other that may be in the same situation in the future:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/ManualOracleUninstall.php
extract from the link:
QUOTE
In the past I've had many problems uninstalling all Oracle products from Windows systems. Here's my last resort method:
* Uninstall all Oracle components using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).
* Run regedit.exe and delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE key. This contains registry entires for all Oracle products.
* Delete any references to Oracle services left behind in the following part of the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/Ora*
It should be pretty obvious which ones relate to Oracle.
* Reboot your machine.
* Delete the "C:\Oracle" directory, or whatever directory is your ORACLE_BASE.
* Delete the "C:\Program Files\Oracle" directory.
* Empty the contents of your "c:\temp" directory.
* Empty your recycle bin.
At this point your machine will be as clean of Oracle components as it can be without a complete OS reinstall.
Remember, manually editing your registry can be very destructive and force an OS reinstall so only do it as a last resort.

Netweaver 2004s installation problem on Windows: Oracle 10G

Hi Friends,
I would like to install Netweaver 2004S(with usage types AS ABAP, AS JAVA, BI, BI JAVA, EP & DI) on a server which has Windows 2003 server OS running on it.
The server has 6GB RAM and has 5GB of free space on C: and a free sapce of 60GB on H: & 50GB on I: respectively.The database that is to be used is Oracle 10g.
Do I need to install first SAP solution manger 4.0 on this or Can i proceed with Netweaver 2004 S installation???
I am installing a central system.
First I tried installing SAP solution manger 4.0 on this system and it went successfully. Now when i am installing Netweaver 2004s on the same machine, during installation I am asked whether to "install a MCOD or create a new database for this installation".
I chose Install MCOD and proceeded further with Installation. But my installation is taking a lot of time while executing the service :"Creating database schema". The message which i get on status bar is " Removing schema user SAPSR3" and the status remains the same.
Have any of you faced this problem ? Please let me know how you have proceeded further.
Before starting the installation one of the prerequisites " SWAP SPACE VALUES" for installation was not satisfied by my system and even then i proceeded with the installation.
Is it because of this SWAP space problem , my intsallation is strcuk?? or what could be the reason fo this?
Thanks
Diwakar

Hello Diwakar,
If you are just installing NW2004s then it is not mandatory to install Solution manager.
To increase the swap space --
Right click my on computer ->Select Properties -> Click Advanced Tab ->Click Settings (performance) -> Select Advanced Tab -> In virtual memory -> Change
you canIncrease swap space/page file here.
Do not install the system as MCOD, make the seperate database.
Do revert for further doubt.
Best Regards,
Sachin.

Problem with installing Oracle 10g on Suse Linux

Hi everybody!
I downloaded Oracle 10g Express from this url:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/htdocs/102xelinsoft.html
it is free version for developers.
I copied it into computer where was installed Suse Linux Enterprise Edition.
But when I run it shows this kind of error:
error: rpmReadSignature failed: region failed: BAD, tag 15872 type 2047 offset 20480 count 4096
error: oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.i386.rpm cannot be installed
It was downloaded without any problem. But checksum is different from that shown on website. I think this is the problem.
What is the problem? Does anybody know answer?
Regards,
Seti's fiction

Yes, you appear to have a bad copy.
I have not had a problem when the check sum matched. Therefore I encourage you to download again.
