4.2 About the Oracle Universal Installer

Oracle Internet Application Server uses the Oracle Universal Installer, a Java-based tool, to configure environment variables and to install components. The installer guides you through each step of the installation process, so you can choose different configuration options.

The installer includes features that perform the following tasks:
