It might well be, see later.

you should be able to deal with these two issues by issuing
oradim -edit -sid orcl -pfile N:\oracle\database\initorcl.ora -startmode
auto -srvcstart system
I also believe I was getting a similar error to Jared's recent post,

You don't need LD_LIBRARY_PATH set as an environment variable in windows,
you shouldn't need ORACLE_HOME in your system environment variables either.

If the install is entirely unused you might consider removing it through the
10g installer.
I'd definitely remove the entries under HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE that relate to
the old install
i.e leave inst_loc and ORACLE_CRS_HOME
Looks like the 10g registry stuff is in here:
