Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> AW: Compact/easy Oracle Net8 client install?
We did this as following:
install Oracle 8 Client on one machine
configure TNSNAMES.ORA
configure ODBC system datasources
after all configuration is done and works:
copy Oracle Directory to a network drive
export registry entries for Oracle to file (you can use regedit.exe to =
do
that)
export registry entries for ODBC to file (ODBCINST.INI, ODBC.INI from
HKEY_LOCAL_MAHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC)
open file with exported ODBC registry settings and delete every not =
needed
entry
copy file with oracle registry settings and ODBC registry settings to network drive
then you can write a command-file which does the following:
1. copy Oracle tree from network-drive to lokal drive 2. add registry settings for Oracle to local machine 3. add registry settings for ODBC to local machine 4. set path variable to local Oracle tree (ypu can use SETX from NTRessource Kit to add the Path automaticly)
Another way is to install Oracle Client to a network drive, so you =
don't
have to copy the Oracle Files to client. You only have to integrate =
Registry
settings and Path to the client machine. The advantage of this is, that =
you
have to install patches only one time to the network drive.
Hope this will help

Betreff: Compact/easy Oracle Net8 client install?
Question - is there a quick and easy way to get the Oracle Net8 client
installed on Win32 systems? We have a very broad license for Oracle =
8/8i
enterprise edition... but I'd like to be able to quickly and as easily =
as
possible install just the Net8 client on a bunch of Win32 desktop =
machines
for simple client ODBC access. I couldn't find a nice packaged
client-only install anywhere.
