Hello;

- Use oradim to delete/create Oracle-services manually
- Look into Registry if ORACLE_SID is correctly set.
- Check if LOCAL Reg-Entry exists and if the content is ok

in regedit.
Delete in hkey_local_machine/software/oracle.
The oracle directory.
also remove in
hkey_local_machine/software/system/services/..
the current control set.
After these 2 delete's you can successfully reinstall the software.

correction in the current control set remove oracle service(s), you can remove all of them.
Don't remove the current control set itself!!(my mistake).

Cheerio!
