Annoying oracle error during software installation

It may happen that you install first oracle server/client in a specific directory and then you'd like to do a brand new installation, but you are getting the error below, even after you've completely removed the OH:

[INS-32025] The chosen installation conflicts with software already installed in the given Oracle home.


The solution is to tamper with the configuration file:

oraInventory/ContentsXML/inventory.xml

First create a backup of the above file and then remove the lines related to the previous installation.

    Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! I ended up having to rename \Program Files (x86)\Oracle, but then the installation proceeded.
