Cannot reinstall XE 18c after doing an uninstall
Hi,
I successfully installed XE 18c on my Win Pro machine. After a few days, the OracleOraDB18Home1TNSListener service would start and immediately stop. I thought I would try uninstalling and reinstalling XE 18c. However, the even though the uninstall finished and I rebooted my system, the uninstall did not do its job. When I tried to run the installer, I get this stuck at this point:
Why does the installer think there is already an existing XE database? Pressing NEXT does nothing. What is the installer checking that makes it thinks there is an existing installation? How can I force the installer to do the installation?

The reason is simple, the uninstaller only does half a job.
If you run the services.msc utility (Windows +R, type services.msc), scroll down to the Oracle named services and you will see a few that are still there. You need to get rid of those as follows:
start
Search for cmd
Right-click, run as adminsitrator
When it runs:
sc delete service_name
For each and every OracleXE service you see.
Then try the installer again.

When you look at your services, do you see an XE service?

sc delete OracleOraDB18Home1MTSRecoveryService
sc delete OracleOraDB18Home1TNSListener
sc delete OracleOraDB19Home1MTSRecoveryService
sc delete OracleOraDB19Home1TNSListener
sc delete OracleServiceORCL
sc delete OracleServiceXE
sc delete OracleVssWriterORCL
sc delete OracleVssWriterXE
