Oracle DB Client 19c install error -> INS-32103 Specified Oracle Home user does not match with existing Home user

I am trying to install Oracle Database Client 19c. From what I understand, if I want to connect SQL Server Management Studio to an Oracle database, I need to install this client. So I already installed the "Instant Client" without any problems. I was able to test the connection under the "ODBC -> Oracle driver"

enter image description here

Below are my installation steps of the Database client

  1. select "Administrator" enter image description here
  2. For selecting a Home User, I've tried using an Existing Windows user (local user), and also I've tried "Use Windows Built-in Account" enter image description here
  3. I selected the Oracle base and software location. Then I clicked "Next" and it gives me the error about the Home User does not match with existing Home user. enter image description here

Can anyone help me figure out why I am getting this error and how I can fix it? Thanks!

When installing Oracle, it asks for the windows user password you created for Oracle installation. Check the windows user password you created when installing Oracle for the first time

This can also be caused by an inventory entry still existing for the oracle home, especially if you are installing/deinstalling on the same machine. To test for that, use a different home and try the install, anything that will not match the previous home. I was testing my install process so I just ended up deleting the inventory files from C:\program files(x86)\Oracle, but you can also detach the home.
