Windows registry not updated after installing oracle 12c client (oracle12102_32bit)
I uninstalled Oracle 11g 64 bit client on Windows 2016 using the uninstall utility. Then I followed Doc ID 1069034.1 How to Manually Remove Oracle Server Software on Microsoft Windows Platforms to
manually remove the components that the unistall program did not remove.
I installed the 12c client and when I checked the windows registry I noticed that under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE the ORACLE folder did not get created. The installation log shows that the windows entry should have been updated but when I check the registry the Oracle folder does not exist.
All other install components seem fine. The new inventory path is created, the oracle home is created, the PATH variable is updated and the Windows start menu is updated.
