I was facing same issue with error code "[FATAL] [INS-35955] The Database software home (C:\ORACLESOURCE) is already registered in the central inventory. This tool can only be used in a non-registered Database home."
Moved the setup to a different folder and tried installing. It worked.

Look into your %Program Files%\Oracle\Inventory\logs where you will find the reason for error.
I also encountered similar problem where I installed Oracle 18c XE,
Oracle Database 18c we are introduced to a new concept: Image Based Installation.
In Image Based Installation the Oracle Universal Installer of 18c takes the location of our setup.exe file and assigns it as its db_home location. That’s why before we start extracting the content of this file, we first need to decide where we want to create our db_home directory.
Mistake I made was I had the setup.exe in D://drive and for others location left as default(which is C:/ drive)
Solution:
(Additional : Satisfy following condition when configuring the password
Oracle recommends the following guidelines when prompted for a password.

You can find in your logs:
SEVERE: [Jan 18, 2019 4:32:04 PM] [FATAL] [INS-35955] The Database software home
(C:\ORACLESOURCE) is already registered in the central inventory. This tool can only be
used in a non-registered Database home.
ACTION: Choose a different location as Oracle home.
Try install Oracle in another directory.
