RE: multiple 10g versions on windows

Jeff,

 

I have a similar situation.  I have 10g R1 database software and 10gR1
client software installed on my desktop.

 

My registry shows:

 

KEY_OraClient10g_home1

KEY_OraDb10g_home1

 

The OraDb10G_home1 directory shows the two databases I have created.

 

Tom

Interesting question, I have also wondered about that.

For those of you not forced ^H^H^H^H^H^H privileged to work on Windows,
the structure of the registry entries changed in 10g.  

It would appear that a new key would be created for each new Oracle
home,
so I would guess multiple 10g installations would work just fine.  I
just have
not tried it.

eg.  my laptop has a HKLM/Oracle/KEY_OraDb10g_home1 key 

If another copy/version of Oracle 1-g were installed, a new registry
key of KEY_OraDb10g_home2 would be created.
