Can't install 11g after removing 10g "port in use"

Trying to install Oracle 11g XE on a Windows Server 2003 machine after uninstalling 10g XE. However, I can't continue in the install process because it won't accept any of the ports I provide for the HTTP port, it claims the port is in use no matter what number I provide. 8082 is what our 10g XE used so I started with that, but 8080, 8081, 8083, or any number I randomly type in all comes back as "in use." I checked with netstat and these ports should all be free. An antivirus is installed but I have disabled it for the install. I'm logged in as the local administrator. Windows Firewall shouldn't be running either, when I try to access the settings it says that the ICS service is not running.

This issue is eerily similar to an issue someone else had: 9852379 He too was trying to install 11g XE on a Windows Server 2003 machine right after uninstalling 10g XE.

I'm at the end of my rope here, I really can't think of anything else that could be causing this problem.
