Beware: 10g does not talk to 8i nor 7. Abraham Guerra -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hostetter, Jay M Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 9:36 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Scripting Client Upgrades We're making plans to upgrade the Oracle client on our user's PCs (running Win 2000). I spent several days trying to deinstall the current client (8.1.6) via a script with the Oracle Installer. After encountering several issues and bugs, I've decided to try writing a script that will remove the client "the hard way" (see note 124353.1). The script will remove the Oracle Home and delete values from the registry, then it will install the newer client (probably the 10g instant client). Does anybody have experience upgrading their clients this way (scripting the manual method described in the note) or do most folks use the Oracle installer? Just checking to see if I'm out in left field on this one. =20 Thanks, Jay **DISCLAIMER This e-mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed and may contain information that is privileged, proprietary and confidential.
