Installation

Installation Overview

What is Oracle Universal Installer? Oracle Universal Installer is a Java-based graphical user interface (GUI) tool that enables you to install Oracle components from a CD-ROM. Refer to the Oracle Universal Installer Concepts Guide for more information about Oracle Universal Installer.

Starting the Oracle Universal Installer

To start the installer, insert the Oracle8i PG4MQVWB CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM drive, then do the following:

  1. Choose Start > Run.

  2. In the Open field of the Run dialog box, enter the following: 

    Drive:\setup.exe

    where Drive is the drive designation for the CD-ROM drive containing the Oracle8i PG4MQVWB CD-ROM. For example, if your CD-ROM drive is D:, you would enter: 

    d:\setup.exe.
  3. Click OK to start the installer.

Installing Oracle8i PG4MQVWB Step by Step

After you have the installer up and running, you can proceed with the installation of Oracle8i PG4MQVWB. The installer is essentially a wizard that presents a number of screens to you so that you can select various options as you install Oracle8i PG4MQVWB.

The first screen that the installer presents is the Welcome screen. To continue with the installation, click Next to display the File Locations screen.

The Source section of the File Locations screen allows you to specify the source location that the installer will use to install Oracle8i PG4MQVWB. You should not need to edit the file specification in the Path field. The default setting for this field points to the installer file on your Oracle8i PG4MQVWB CD-ROM.

The Name and Path fields in the Destination section on the File Locations screen allow you to specify the destination for your installation. Type in the Name and Path of your choice. After you have set the fields in the File Locations screen as necessary, click Next to continue. After loading the necessary information from the CD-ROM, the installer will display the Oracle Procedural Gateway for Message Queuing Visual Workbench Installer screen.

Click Next to continue and to display the Summary screen. The Summary screen allows you to review a tree list of the options and components that you selected for this installation. Click Install to display the Install screen, which shows the status of the installation as it proceeds, as well as the location of the installer log file for this installation session.

Be patient as the installer processes the software installation. Depending upon the CPU, CD-ROM drive, and hard drive of your computer, the installation process might take quite some time to be completed.

After the installer copies the Oracle software to your computer, the Configuration Tools screen is displayed, and the installer then runs Net8 Configuration Assistant to configure Oracle's networking product (Net8). In the Net8 Configuration Assistant Welcome screen, click Perform typical configuration and click Next. Move from screen to screen by clicking Back and Next until the End of Installation screen is displayed.

The final screen of the installer is the End of Installation screen. Assuming that your installation was successful, you can click Exit to exit the installer.

De-installation

This section describes how to use the Oracle Universal Installer to de-install Oracle components (which de-installs them from the Oracle Universal Installer inventory). If you delete an Oracle home manually (for example, by deleting the directory structure with MS Windows NT Explorer), the components in the Oracle home remain registered in the Oracle Universal Installer inventory. If you subsequently attempt an installation in the same Oracle home, then some or all of the selected components may not be installed because Oracle Universal Installer determines that they are already installed.

To start the installer, insert the Oracle8i PG4MQVWB CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM drive, then do the following:

  1. Choose Start > Run.

  2. In the Open field of the Run dialog box, enter the following command: 

    Drive:\setup.exe

    where Drive is the drive designation for the CD-ROM drive containing the Oracle8i PG4MQVWB CD-ROM. For example, if your CD-ROM drive is D:, you would enter: 

    d:\setup.exe.
  3. Click OK to start the installer.

  4. Click Deinstall Products. The inventory dialog box appears.

  5. Expand the tree of installed components until you find the components to de-install.

  6. Check the boxes of the components to be de-intalled.

  7. Click Remove. The Inventory Confirmation window appears.

  8. Click Yes to de-install the selected components.

    NOTE: A message may be displayed to indicate that removing some components may cause other components to not perform properly.

    The components are de-installed from your computer. The Inventory dialog box appears without the de-installed components.

  9. Click Close to close the Inventory dialog box.

  10. Click Exit to exit Oracle Universal Installer.
