SUMMARY
To determine what Oracle components are installed on your system (and the version of these components) open either the NT.rgs or WIN95.rgs file. These files are located in the \ORINST directory off the Oracle home directory.



MORE INFORMATION
If you need to know what Oracle software components are installed on your system you can open either the NT.rgs or WIN95.rgs file (depending on which version of Windows you are using). The .rgs file is a text file that contains information about what Oracle components are installed on the system. The file looks similar to the following:    0 ntinstall     all      "orainst"    "3.3.1.0.0C" "Oracle Installer" 20 w32tcp80     adp80    "tcp80"      "8.0.5.0.0"  "Oracle TCP/IP Pro   23 w32nmp80      adp80    "nmp80"      "8.0.5.0.0"  "Oracle Named Pipe 26 w32util80    all      "util80"     "8.0.5.0.0"  "Oracle8 Utilities   34 w32rsf80      all      "rsf80"      "8.0.5.0.0"  "Required Support 47 w32netclt80  net80    "netc80"     "8.0.5.0.0"  "Oracle Net8 Client   69 w32plus80     all      "plus80"     "8.0.5.0.0"  "SQL*Plus" There is a lot more information than what you see in the preceding display. The additional information includes when the installation of the components took place and a detailed description of the component.

The .rgs files (both NT.rgs and WIN95.rgs) are found in the \ORAINST directory off the Oracle home directory. The location of the Oracle home directory is dependent on which drive you install Oracle on and what operating system you use. For example, the Oracle home directory for a Windows NT installation on drive C:\ would be as follows:

C:\ORANT

Therefore, the path for your .rgs file on this installation would be:

C:\ORANT\ORAINST\NT.RGS

Additional query words: install version
