You do not have to install all components at the same time. You can install additional Java CAPS products and components at any time after completing the initial installation by setting the configuration properties file and then invoking the command–line installation script to install specific items.

The installation process also installs Sun Uninstaller software.


Note –

You must have the JDK software installed and JAVA_HOME set prior to installing Java CAPS; otherwise, the Installer will halt the installation. See Installing the JDK Software and Setting JAVA_HOME.
