Oracle 18c XE Windows installation failed - now unable to uninstall or reinstall

3905002Mar 4 2019 — edited Apr 23 2019

Hello, today i tried to install the new 18c XE on my windows 10 computer. After a while the installation froze and the dilemma began. Windows told mit XE was installed, but i couldnt find it in my programms/apps and the setup.exe just told me i already had installed a XE version.

As it didnt show up in my programm/apps and the exe didnt give me the uninstall feature i tried to delete all parts and registry edits manually. The result is, that i still cant reininstall XE because it shows : There is already a XE installation on your computer. Are there any suggestions or solutions? I was really happy to start with the new XE, but now it seems kinda hopeless. Excuse my bad english Im not a native speaker.

best regards.
