Error installing Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2017

I have a problem when I try to reinstall the ODT 2017: I already had it installed, but when I opened Visual Studio and wanted to check the connection it shows the error "The requested .NET Framework data provider is not found. It may not be installed."

I uninstalled it, and then when I wanted to reinstall it, I was amazed at the error that it was still installed, "Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2017 is already installed. Please uninstall and try again."

I don't know if I have a folder or file in a hidden folder...

Just to be sure: isn't the first error: "Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider" instead of "The requested .NET Framework data provider is not found" ? – sɐunıɔןɐqɐp
Maybe you have to make a full uninstall of all Oracle components, see stackoverflow.com/questions/8450726/… – Wernfried Domscheit
Yesterday I delete all files from oracle and I tried to exec the ODT 2017 but return the same message. Today I am to desinstall the Visual Studio community and after reinstall. – andres martinez

Okay, I am not exactly sure why this worked but I don't want to mess with it since it is working great right now.

I had tried all the methods of manually removing Oracle software and none of that seemed to work. I started exploring the command line options and was trying to force an uninstall even though it wasn't installed. I was hoping it would clear something out.

From command line I tried: 

ODTforVS2017_122010.exe /V /uninstall

However, instead of uninstalling anything, it launched into the normal install. Only this time, it worked! Go figure.

Just in case this had something to do with it... Just before this, I accidentally started the install for the VS 2015 version which started normally. Was really excited until I realized it was the wrong version. Maybe this cleared something out? No idea...

I have to move on and finish before the deadline. I hope this helps you.

The accepted answer did not work for me, so I had to investigate further. I was able to solve the problem by manually uninstalling the vsix from Visual Studio (using the Visual Studio 2017 Command Prompt):

vsixinstaller /a /u:"Oracle.VsDevTools.15.0"

Then, I simply ran the installer again and it worked.

In my case the issue was that even after my previous uninstall with the wizard, the extension (ODT) still on VS2017 but it was disabled, so i uninstalled it from VS and then installed it again with the wizard
