Uninstalling Oracle Client

Hello all,

I have Oracle client 8.0.5 installed on a Win2K workstation. I would like to
install the 8.1.7 client. Using Oracle Installer, I removed all 8.0.5
components. However, I am unable to remove the Oracle Installer program. I
would like to install the new client into C:\orant, but the install process
will not allow this with Oracle Installer in there. How can I cleanly remove
the old Oracle Installer?

Thanks,
Scallica

1 8.1.7 is supported for another 8 months
2 You shouldn't use the 8.0.5 installer to install 8.1.7
3 You shouldn't use c:\orant as Oracle home, as that isn't the default
for 8.1.7 and doesn't conform to the OFA standard which is implemented
in 8i

Create a new Oracle Home and forget about the old one.

Hi. We had a PC that had Oracle Client 8.0.5 and 8.1.7 installed in Default_Home (c:\orant) and Default_Home1 (c:\oracle). A third party package, installed certain components of Oracle Client 9.0.2 in another Oracle Home which it called ora92 (c:\oracle\ora92). Since we no longer need Clients 8.0.5 and 8.1.7, I decided to uninstall all Oracle clients and install Oracle client 9.0.2. I used Oracle installer to

I want to connect to an oracle database from my client pc, OS is win2k or XP. Can I connect to an oracle database without having the full oracle client installed? If so what would be the minimum install on the client to get this connection? Oracle version is 9i? I found the .NET Managed Provider for Oracle and it looked like it still needed the oracle client?

The machine is running XP Pro with all the latest service packs, etc. I must access an Oracle database so I installed the Oracle client stuff. I can query Oracle from a Windows app, no problem.

I need to connect to an Oracle database. I've never done it before. I see that with framework 1.1 you had to download ODP.NET from Oracle's site in order for the framework classes to even work. I tried that quickly, but the file is 400 MB, and the the installation asks for all kinds of things in order to install. Now I'm very confused. a) Do you still need ODP.NET with framework 2.0? b) Do you need to download and install other...
