Try to rename c:\oracle\ora92

You probably need to check on some registry entries. Search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE. There may be an entry about an Oracle Home that is no longer valid and can be deleted.

If you search the Oracle forums you will find several threads discussing this issue. I haven't read them in detail but from what I can gather, the installer doesn't like installing Forms 6 and Oracle 9.2 to the same home location. There are a number of suggestions to work around it in this thread: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=340452[^]
