Read Original

This technical article details a specific installation issue encountered with the Oracle Database 11gR2 Express Edition (XE) beta on Windows. It explains the error 'OracleXEService should not be installed already' caused by remnants of a previous Oracle XE 10 installation. The post provides the solution: using the `sc delete` command to remove the old OracleServiceXE and OracleJobSchedulerXE services before proceeding with a successful installation.
