The lack of an entry in the Oracle Home Selector is certainly an issue.
 
On both the systems I installed, the new 10g Enterprise Manager complains that 
the "database status is unavailable", so EM won't allow me to do anything other 
than start & stop the database.  The 10g listener also seems to have problems 
with the 8.1.7 and/or 9.2 databases on my development system, though I haven't 
spent a lot of time dealing with this particular issue.
 
I also noticed that if I tried to connect to an 8.1.7 system from a 10g client, 
it complains about an unsupported connection type-- I believe it's the same 
error you get if you try to connect a 9.2 client to an Oracle 7 system.  I 
thought that 10g -> 8.1.7 was supported, though.

Just wondering what others experiences are installing this version. 

Did you perhaps find that there is no new version of the Oracle Home Selector? 

And that even if you hack the registry so that the old OHS can find the new 
Oracle 10g registry entries, it still does not set the PATH correctly? 

There are at least 2 OH path entries now for 10g.  The standard OH/bin and 
now the OH/jre/bin.  OHS does not correctly alter the PATH by moving both 
entries to the front of the list. 

I say 'at least two' because during installation it occurred that the PATH on 
my laptop would exceed 1023 characters and I chose to ignore the error. 

Perhaps a re-install would fix this. 

sigh...  silly me.  I thought the days of worrying about PATH size were over.
