"Oracle Home Selector"??  "Registry Hacks"??  Sound to me like a poor 
choice of OS! ;-)

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.
