You can accept most default values, with the exceptions noted below.

Note:

You can change the default value of the middleware_home directory, which is C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home, if you want, but some code examples in this guide use that value to make it easier to copy and paste, so remember to change these if you change the value.

You must NOT change the names for any of the middleware home's subdirectories, including wlserver and oracle_common.

Note:

Make sure you have installed Visual C++ in Microsoft Visual Studio 2015-2022 (x64 distributed). This is required for Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (12.2.1.4) and Oracle Forms and Reports 12c (12.2.1.19) Servers to invoke Data Capture API methods from custom clients.
