This section describes the steps necessary for installing Anywhere. It covers the following topics:
Before installing Anywhere, please read Appendix A: Deploying Oracle Enterprise Single Sign-On Suite Products for Offline Use via Anywhere.
Before you install Anywhere, ensure the prerequisites listed in this section have been satisfied.
Note:
Please refer to the latest release notes to find out about last-minute requirements or changes that might affect your installation.Note:
When installing on Windows XP, you must install the latest root certificate update from Microsoft, otherwise the installation will fail.For details and instructions, see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931125Anywhere reads the configuration of the other Oracle products from which you will create the Anywhere deployment package. Prior to installing Anywhere, install the products that you intend to deploy. Follow the installation and setup instructions for these products from their respective installation and setup guides. The deployment package must include Logon Manager and might include Oracle Enterprise Single Sign-On Provisioning Gateway (Provisioning Gateway).
Install these products on a clean workstation. If you are deploying Provisioning Gateway, install its Administrative Console on a different workstation.
Note:
The Visual C++ Runtime Library and .NET 2.0 Framework are prerequisites for running Anywhere. The installation package includes the Visual C++ Runtime Library, however you must make the .NET 2.0 Framework available to users. See the Oracle Enterprise Single Sign-On Suite Release Notes for a complete list of software and hardware requirements.Configure the Agents as you want the end users to work with them. End users do not have the option to alter the installation. If you want different users to install different packages, create a separate deployment package for each installation.
There are two types of XML files associated with Anywhere:
o The Anywhere configuration XML. Configures the application itself. This file includes assemblies' dependencies and component files, required permissions, and the location where Anywhere places updates as you create them.
The deployment configuration XML. Configures the Anywhere deployments that you create. This file includes the target location of the application XML, the version of the application that the Agents will run, and the location (Web page or network file share) where Anywhere checks for updates.
In order to successfully install Anywhere in unattended ("silent") mode, the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service must be running before the installer is executed.
To check whether the WMI service is running, and start it if necessary, do the following on each target machine:
Open the System Management Console.
Open the Services snap-in.
Navigate to the Windows Management Instrumentation service and check its status and startup mode.
Depending on the status, do one of the following:
If the status is Started, the WMI service is running; proceed to the next section.
If the status is blank, check the service's startup type and start it as follows:
Double-click the service.
In the properties box that appears, set the startup type to Manual or Automatic, as dictated by your environment and click Apply.
Click Start. The status changes to Started.
Click OK to close the service properties dialog box.
