This chapter describes how to install Oracle components.
Specific topics discussed are:
DBAs experienced with installing Oracle components in UNIX environments must note that many manual setup tasks required on UNIX are not required on Windows NT. For example, on Windows NT, you do not need to manually:
All preinstallation tasks required on Windows NT are thoroughly described in this chapter.
Perform the following tasks before installing Oracle components.
To perform preinstallation tasks:
Do not manually set ORACLE_HOME in the environment path. This is automatically done in the registry. Setting ORACLE_HOME in the environment path is not necessary or recommended and prevents multiple Oracle home environments from functioning properly. See Chapter 3 of the Oracle8i Administrator's Guide for Windows NT for more information.
Note:
The Autorun window automatically appears. If the Autorun window does not appear:

where X is the hard drive on which your operating system is located.
INSTALLACTIONS.LOG is the latest log file. Log file names of previous installation sessions take the form INSTALLACTIONSDATE_TIME.LOG (for example, INSTALLACTIONS1999-07-14_09-00-56-AM.LOG).
You can also view a list of installed components by clicking Installed Products on any window of Oracle Universal Installer.
Typically, you run Oracle Universal Installer in interactive mode, which means you are prompted to respond to windows. However, experienced users can also run Oracle Universal Installer in non-interactive (also called silent) mode by using response files. These are text files containing variables and values used by Oracle Universal Installer during the installation process.
Using silent installation enables you to bypass the graphical user interface (GUI) of interactive mode of Oracle Universal Installer. Response files are available for the following components:
To copy and modify a response file:
\RESPONSE
directory at the top of the CD-ROM to your hard drive.
The Oracle Universal Installer Concepts Guide appears in HTML format.
To run Oracle Universal Installer and specify the response file:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\ORACLE\OUI\INSTALL> SETUP.EXE -RESPONSEFILE FILENAME [-SILENT] [-NOWELCOME]
