Problem during ORACLE 9.2.0 on HP-UX 11.11

Question

Hi,
I am installing Oracle 9.2.0 on HP-UX 11.11.
During the start of the isntallation in File locations Destination and Path"
in Destination i write "ORACLE_HOME"
in path i write " /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0"
Now when i write product in path it changes to wrong spelling "prodcut" and when i try to correct it the Destination name changes to "ORACLE_HOM"
again if i try to correct ORACLE_HOM to ORACLE_HOME the path will be changed
it gives /opt/oracle/prodcut/9.2.0 ( again prodcut instead of product)
I removed the old installation of the Oracle and reinstall many times but every time same error occurs.May be someone installed it with "prodcut" and there are some remaining files left over. How can i remove them??OR is it any other option to rectify this all
Can anybody help me as i have some urgent assingment to complete this

Hi,
it shouldn't be necessary to reinstall the whole machine. There are some elements in /etc, directory oracle , files oraInst.loc and oratab. Maybe it already helps to delete these objects, because the installer loses its information outside the Oracle directories. If not, you may delete the complete structure under $ORACLE_BASE, but it should be made sure, only Oracle related files and directories are deleted.
