How to determine Oracle 10g Home programatically?

205783Dec 20 2005 — edited Jan 12 2006

With the Oracle 9i client, I was able to figure out (in a program or install script) where the Oracle 9i home folder was by looking at the registry key /HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Oracle/Oracle_Home. However, I don't see anything like this for the Oracle 10g client. I see a branch entitled KEY_OraClient10g_home but I don't think that is consistant across all Oracle 10g client installs (i.e. I think I entered the name OraClient10g_home when I installed the client).

So... is there a way (programatically) to determine what the 10g home folder is? Thanks.
