SOA 11g - Uninstall OracleXE
You may see problems with
installing XE when you already have 10g installed on Windows. The Windows
registry sometimes gets the database file locations confused. If you need to
uninstall a database, you should follow the instructions.
If you need to uninstall
XE, be sure to follow these instructions
1. Deinstalling the Oracle
Database XE Software
To deinstall Oracle
Database XE by using Add or Remove Programs:
1.
In the Windows Control Panel, select Add or Remove
Programs.
2.
Select Oracle Database 10g Express Edition.
3.
Click Change/Remove.
4.
In the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition - Install Wizard,
select Remove, click Next, and then click Yes in
the confirmation window. When the deinstallation completes, click Finish.
To perform a silent deinstallation of Oracle Database XE:
1.
Log on to Windows with Windows administrative privileges.
3.
Click Free Download and follow the instructions
to select and download the Microsoft Windows version of Oracle Database XE.
The installation executable, OracleXE.exe, comes with a set
of response files that you can use to perform silent installations, repairs
(upgrades), and deinstallations.
4.
Run the OracleXE.exe executable with the
OracleXERemove.iss response file.
For example, if you downloaded
the OracleXE.exe executable and its response files to a directory
called xe_temp, you would enter the following command to deinstall Oracle
Database XE Server:
c:\xe_temp>
OracleXE.exe /s /f1"c:\xe_temp\response\OracleXE-Remove.iss"
/f2"c:\xe_temp\setup.log"
To deinstall Oracle
Database XE Client, you would enter:
c:\xe_temp>
OracleXE.exe /s /f1"c:\xe_temp\response\OracleXEClient-Remove.iss"
/f2"c:\xe_temp\setup.log"
The setup.log file
indicates whether the deinstallation was successful. A result code
of 0 means the deinstallation succeeded.
If the deinstallation is
interrupted, follow these steps to manually remove Oracle Database XE from your
computer:
·
Step 1: Stop the Oracle Database XE Services
·
Step 2: Remove the Oracle Database XE Registry Editor Settings

Step 3: Update the System Variable Path
