SQL Developer doesn't put anything in the registry.
From your reference to SID, I assume you are looking for a database. SQL Developer is only a client tool, it doesn't come with a database.
You will need to download and install the database software as well. The easiest thing to do is to download express edition
Oracle Database Express Edition (XE) Downloads (0 Bytes)

What Jim said, we don't have an installer, we don't put anything into the registry.
I think we'll check the registry for an Oracle Client/HOME, but we write all of our application settings to your AppData folder, under Roaming Profiles.
