title: Ghost Informix Instances In Windows
body: <p>I am trying to install Informix version 11.70 on Windows 7 64bit.  After a few attempts of installing and unstalling, I cannot create a instance called ol_informix1170.  When creating a new instance during installation, the default instance name keep showing ol_informix1170_3.  If I correct it to ol_informix1170, the program will tell me that the server name is already in use.</p>
  
  <p>I've unstalled it, delete the directories, even looking into registry and delete anything with informix, but the problem persists.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone please point out what I am missing?  The resource on the net is quite scarce, not much info turn up on searching informix alone.</p>
