I can't set ORACLE_BASE to the directory I wanted during running dbca

515267Jul 12 2007 — edited Jul 13 2007
Hello everyone!

My operating system is Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2.
First,I ran the commands as following:
set ORACLE_BASE=E:\oracle
set ORACLE_HOME=E:\oracle\OracleHomes\db10g
setup
then,I installed the oracle database software in the E:\oracle\OracleHomes\db10g
directory.

After that,I opened another command line window and ran the commands:
set ORACLE_BASE=E:\oracle
set ORACLE_HOME=E:\oracle\OracleHomes\db10g
dbca
but when clicked the "File location variable" button on the dbca window,it showed that both the ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_HOME Environment variables were set to "E:\oracle\OracleHomes\db10g"

After the database was created,the "admin" directory was in E:\oracle\OracleHomes\db10g but not E:\oracle which should had been set to be the value of ORACLE_BASE Environment variable.

I want to recreate the database,how can I set the ORACLE_BASE Environment variable to "E:\oracle"?

Is there anyone who can help me?
Thank you!
