What's the Current Oracle Home?

[CODE}
private string GetOracleHome()
{
RegistryKey rgkLM = Registry.LocalMachine;
RegistryKey rgkAllHome = rgkLM.OpenSubKey
(@"SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ALL_HOMES");

if (rgkAllHome != null)
{
string strLastHome = "";
object objLastHome = rgkAllHome.GetValue("LAST_HOME");
strLastHome = objLastHome.ToString();

RegistryKey rgkActualHome = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey
(@"SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME" + strLastHome);

string strOraHome = "";
object objOraHome = rgkActualHome.GetValue("ORACLE_HOME");
strOraHome = objOraHome.ToString();

return strOraHome;
}
else
return "";

}

The LAST_HOME refers to the last home installed - it is not the same as the current home and its use can produce incorrect results.
