|PURPOSE |
|------- |
| |
|This article describes the procedure how to manually perform the actions to |
|create a "clean machine" on Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000 and how to |
|manually remove all Oracle components (e.g.: oracle RDBMS database server, |
|IAS, OEM, client installations, etc) and services from your computer. |
| |
| |
|SCOPE & APPLICATION |
|------------------- |
| |
|This article is intended for DBA's on the Microsoft Windows platform. |
| |
|WARNING: |
| |
|1. Remove all Oracle components from your computer only as a last resort, |
|and only if you want to remove ALL Oracle components from your system. |
| |
|2. These instructions remove all Oracle components, services, and registry |
|entries from your computer. In addition, any database files in the |
|subdirectories under ORACLE_BASE\ORADATA\ are also removed. |
| |
|3. These procedures will also remove Oracle network configuration files, |
|user written scripts and any other user generated files that may be stored |
|in Oracle_Base directories. |
| |
|4. Exercise extreme care when removing registry entries. Removing incorrect |
|entries can severely compromise your computer. |
| |
| |
|MANUALLY REMOVING ALL ORACLE COMPONENTS AND SERVICES FROM YOUR COMPUTER |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
|A. Removing Components on Windows NT/2000. |
|------------------------------------------ |
|To remove all Oracle components from a computer on Windows NT/Windows 2000: |
| |
|1. Check privileges: |
|----------------- |
|1.a. Ensure you are logged in as a user with Administrator privileges. |
| |
|2. Stop all Oracle services (if any are running): |
|---------------------------------------------- |
|2.a. NT: Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Services. |
|2000: Right click My Computer > Manage > Services and Applications > Services |
| |
|2.b. If any Oracle services (their names begin with Oracle) exist and have |
|the status Started, select the service and click Stop. |
| |
|2.c. Click Close to exit the Services window. |
| |
|2.d. Close the Control Panel/Computer Management window. |
| |
|3. Remove the entries in the Windows registry: |
|------------------------------------------- |
|3.a. Start the registry editor: |
|Choose Start > Run > regedt32 |
| |
|3.b. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE |
|Note the value of the key INST_LOC, this is the location of the Oracle Universal |
|Installer. The default location is C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory. If this |
|value is different, make note of it, so we can delete these files later. |
|Delete this ORACLE key. |
| |
|3.c. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC and expand all subkeys and |
|remove all keys under here which are related with the |
|"Oracle ODBC Driver" |
| |
|3.d. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and remove |
|all keys under here that begin with ORACLE or ORAWEB. |
| |
|3.e. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\... |
|\Application and remove all keys under here that begin with ORACLE. |
| |
|3.f. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall |
|and remove any entries related to Oracle. |
| |
|3.g. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, remove all keys that begin with Oracle, OraPerf or |
|OraOLEDB |
| |
|3.h. Close the registry. |
| |
|4. Clean up the environment settings: |
|---------------------------------- |
|4.a. NT: Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Environment tab |
|2000: Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > |
|Environment variables. |
| |
|4.b. At "System Variables" click on the variable PATH in order to modify |
|the value. For example, you may see a path similar to this one: |
|C:\ORACLE\ORA81\BIN;C:\PROGRAM FILES\ORACLE\JRE\1.1.7\BIN |
| |
|4.c. If an %ORACLE_HOME% was installed, remove this %ORACLE_HOME%\BIN path. |
| |
|4.d. If JRE was installed by Oracle, remove the JRE path. |
| |
|4.e. If there is a CLASSPATH variable under "System Variables", first make note |
|of the path defined, then delete it. This variable can be added back at |
|a later date if needed. |
| |
|4.f. Check if there are any other Oracle variables set in "System Variables", |
|ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID or TNS_ADMIN. If these exist, delete them also. |
| |
|4.g. Click on APPLY and OK. |
| |
