Error while re installing the Oracle database 11g Express Edition release 2

2988149Jul 9 2015 — edited Jul 12 2015

Hi everyone,

My first post. Having problems with Oracle re installation.I was able to install the "Oracle database 11g Express Edition release 2 for windows7 32 bit" successfully at first instance but I unistalled it from "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features" as I realised that my system type is a 64-bit operating system.

When I tried to install "Oracle database 11g Express Edition release 2 for windows7 64 bit" again, I had an error that an instance XE already exists on my system.Tried to rectify this from this url...http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#BABFFJIB ? following the 7.2 step. and tried to Install the database again.

This time I get a different problem....I get a Remove ....Repair options screen while installing ( which I did not get in the first instance/installation). Which ever option I choose and proceed, I get this error....Error 1605 This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.

Also tried installing the software from another User, but the same problem persists.

Please HELP.
