Oracle 9i

Would I create an unattended install for this? Sheesh I hate java.

What type of installer does it use?

A java one.

The Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) has built in support for noninteractive installs. To do an unattended install, you need to create or customize a response file and use it with the OUI. There are example response files in the RESPONSE folder on the Oracle Client installation CD. You need to configure stuff like the path of the installation source and the location of the Oracle home in the response file.

setup.exe -RESPONSEFILE filename -SILENT -NOWELCOME

mpl, How did you work out the NET8 configuration part?

There is a netca.rsp which should handle everything, but it either isn't used or I got things wrong.

The first thing to configure is the port (defaults to 2030) but I don't see a value of 2030 in netca.rsp.

How have you done you silent installation?

Did you use a custom .rsp with the individual packages defined for the client, excludig NET8 for example?

Please let me know!

[edit]I found out a nice other option to parse to setup.exe:

setup.exe -record -destinationfile <path-to-filename.rsp>

Seem to work quite nice, but has it's odds. Like you need to set everything to false on things that are shown.[/edit]

I don't get this...

I recorded a nice installation with all the requirements for the normal runtime client, and also the Windows Interfaces for the ODBC stuff we need here.

When I check the recorded .rsp file it's shows all the stuff I wanted in, including the port needed somewhere during the installation (default is 2030).

But when I run the setup.exe with the recorded .rsp file, it shows the summary screen where it shows what it will install, and that's completly empty except for the Oracle client (installed per default).

Anyone got any tips on this?

Ever figure this out freshy?
