uninstall of oracle client - File Not Found Error

748893Mar 23 2011 — edited Mar 24 2011
Hi,
We had multiple oracle clients installed. I have to uninstall these.So far I uninstalled everything other than one client 11.2.0.1. WHen I attempt to remove using the universal installer, I see a message "Please run the command 'E:\Oracle\product\11.2.0\client_1/deinstall/deinstall' to deinstall this Oracle home."

When I try running the deinstall.bat command, I see the error below.

c:\app\user1\product\11.2.0\client_1\deinstall>deinstall.bat
Checking for required files and bootstrapping ...
Please wait ...

Can someone please direct me on how to do a clean uninstall?
Can I follow the steps in section 5.3 of http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32007/deinstall.htm#CIHGGGBB?

Thank you
