3 Installing Oracle Database Client
You can use 32-Bit media for installing Oracle Database Client on all supported operating systems. You can use 64-Bit media for installing Oracle Database Client on all supported 64-bit x64 operating systems. This guide is for both Windows 32-Bit and Windows x64. This chapter covers the following topics:
3.1 Preinstallation Considerations Before Installing Oracle Database Client
The Oracle Database Client software is available on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) Web site. In most cases, you use the graphical user interface (GUI) provided by Oracle Universal Installer to install the software. However, you can also use Oracle Universal Installer to complete silent-mode installations using response files, without using the GUI.
Next, consider the following issues:
3.1.1 Installation Consideration on Windows Vista and Later
On Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2012 R2, command prompts should be opened with Administrator privileges.
3.1.2 Installing Oracle Database Client Installations in Silent or Response File Mode
If you need to perform multiple installations of Oracle Database Client, you may want to use silent or response file mode, with response files. In these modes, at each computer, you run Oracle Universal Installer from the command line using a response file. The response file is a text file containing the settings you normally enter in the Oracle Universal Installer GUI dialog boxes. This method lets you quickly perform multiple installations using similar settings for each computer.
Appendix B, «Installing Oracle Database Client Using Response Files» for instructions on performing silent or response file mode installations
3.1.3 Creating the Oracle Base Directory
If you install Oracle Database Client on a computer with no other Oracle software installed, Oracle Universal Installer creates an Oracle base directory for you. If Oracle software is already installed, one or more Oracle base directories already exist. In the latter case, Oracle Universal Installer offers you a choice of Oracle base directories into which you can install Oracle Database Client.
You are not required to create an Oracle base directory before installation, but you can do so if you want.
You can choose to create a new Oracle base directory, even if other Oracle base directories exist on the system.
3.1.4 Installing Oracle Database Client into Multiple Oracle Homes
You can install all Oracle components in multiple Oracle homes on the same computer. However, some components can only support one active instance at a time. This means that the current (latest) installation renders the previous one inactive. These components are:
Oracle Administration Assistant for Windows
Oracle Counters for Windows Performance Monitor
Oracle Objects for OLE on Windows 32-bit
Oracle Provider for OLE DB
Oracle Objects for OLE is not supported on Windows x64.
3.1.5 Installing Oracle Database Client on a System with an Existing Oracle Software
Oracle Database Client can be installed in the same Oracle Database home if both products are at the same release level. For example, you can install Oracle Database Client 10 g Release 2 (10.2) into an existing Oracle Database 10 g Release 2 (10.2) home. If you apply a patch set before installing the client, then you must apply the patch set again. Oracle Universal Installer will prompt you for an Oracle home directory, whether you have other Oracle software installed on the computer or not. You cannot install products from one release of Oracle Database Client into an Oracle home directory of a different release. For example, you cannot install Oracle Database 11 g release 1 (11.1) software into an existing Oracle9 i Oracle home directory.
You can install this release more than once on the same system as long as each installation is installed in a separate Oracle home directory.
3.1.6 Updating the Existing Software with the Current Version
Use the In-Place Upgrade feature to upgrade an existing client installation to the latest release by installing the new client software into an existing client home with the same installation type. For example, if release 11.2.0.1 is installed, then use Oracle Universal Installer to upgrade to release 11.2.0.2.
Consider the following before selecting this option:
This upgrade is only possible in a client home and not in any other Oracle home that contains non-client installations, such as Database installations.
This upgrade does not delete files in the client home that are commonly updated by other users. For example, configuration data files.
This upgrade cannot be performed if processes associated with the Oracle Database Client home are running.
This functionality is available starting with Oracle Database 11 g Release 2 (11.2.0.2).
3.2 Accessing the Installation Software
The Oracle Database Client software is available on installation media or you can download it from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) Web site, or Oracle Software Delivery Cloud Web site. To install the software from the hard disk, you must either download it and unpack it, or copy it from the installation media, if you have it.
You can access and install Oracle Database Client by using the following scenarios:
3.2.1 Installing from a Remote DVD Drive
If the computer where you want to install Oracle Database Client does not have a DVD drive, you can perform the installation from a remote DVD drive. You must complete the following steps:
3.2.1.1 Step 1: On the Remote Computer, Share the DVD Drive
The remote DVD drive that you want to use must allow shared access. To set this up, perform these steps on the remote computer that has the DVD drive:
Log in to the remote computer as an Administrator user.

Right-click the DVD drive letter and choose Sharing (or Sharing and Security ).
Click the Sharing tab and do the following:
Click OK when you are finished.
Insert the DVD labeled Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) into the DVD drive.
3.2.1.2 Step 2: On the Local Computer, Map the DVD Drive
Perform these steps on the local computer to map a remote DVD drive and to run Oracle Universal Installer from the mapped drive:
Map the remote DVD drive.
Start Windows Explorer on the local computer.
From the Tools menu, select Map Network Drive to display the Map Network Drive dialog.
Select a drive letter to use for the remote DVD drive.
remote_hostname is the name of the remote computer with the DVD drive.
share_name is the share name that you entered in step 4 of the previous procedure. For example
Run Oracle Universal Installer from the mapped DVD drive.
3.2.2 Installing on Remote Computers Through Remote Access Software
If you want to install and run Oracle Database Client on a remote computer (that is, the remote computer has the hard drive and will run Oracle Database Client components), but you do not have physical access to the computer, you still can perform the installation on the remote computer if it is running remote access software such as VNC or Symantec pcAnywhere. You also need the remote access software running on your local computer.
You can install Oracle Database Client on the remote computer in one of two ways:
If you have copied the contents of the Oracle Database Client DVD to a hard drive, you can install from the hard drive.
You can insert the DVD into a drive on your local computer, and install from the DVD.
3.2.2.1 Installing on Remote Computers from a Hard Drive
If you have copied the contents of the Oracle Database Client DVD to a hard drive, you can install from the hard drive.
The steps that must complete are:
Make sure that the remote access software is installed and running on the remote and local computers.
Share the hard drive that contains the Oracle Database Client DVD.
On the remote computer, map a drive letter to the shared hard drive. You would use the remote access software to do this on the remote computer.
Through the remote access software, run Oracle Universal Installer on the remote computer. You access Oracle Universal Installer from the shared hard drive.
3.2.2.2 Installing on Remote Computers from a Remote DVD Drive
You can insert the DVD into a drive on your local computer, and install from the DVD.
The steps that you need to complete are:
Make sure that the remote access software is installed and running on the remote and local computers.

3 Installing Oracle Database Client
This chapter covers the following topics:
3.1 Installation Considerations for Oracle Database Client
The Oracle Database Client software is available on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) website. In most cases, you use the graphical user interface (GUI) provided by Oracle Universal Installer to install the software. However, you can also use Oracle Universal Installer to complete silent or response file installations, without using the GUI.
Next, consider the following issues:
3.1.1 Installation Consideration on Windows
On Windows, command prompts should be opened with Administrator privileges.
3.1.2 Installing Oracle Database Client Installations in Silent or Response File Mode
If you need to perform multiple installations of Oracle Database Client, you may want to use silent or response file installation. In these modes, at each computer, you run Oracle Universal Installer from the command line using a response file. The response file is a text file containing the settings you normally enter in the Oracle Universal Installer GUI dialog boxes. This method lets you quickly perform multiple installations using similar settings for each computer.
Appendix B, «Installing Oracle Database Client Using Response Files» for instructions on performing silent and response file installations
3.1.3 Creating the Oracle Base Directory
If you install Oracle Database Client on a computer with no other Oracle software installed, Oracle Universal Installer creates an Oracle base directory for you. If Oracle software is already installed, one or more Oracle base directories already exist. In the latter case, Oracle Universal Installer offers you a choice of Oracle base directories into which you can install Oracle Database Client.
You are not required to create an Oracle base directory before installation, but you can do so if you want. If a Windows User Account is used as Oracle Home User, it can only share Oracle Base with other Oracle Homes with the same Windows user account. If Windows Built-in Account is specified as Oracle Home User, it can only share Oracle Base with other client Oracle Homes using Windows Built-in Account.
Oracle Database Client 12 c Release 1 (12.1) cannot share Oracle base with Oracle homes from earlier database versions, such as Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) or earlier.
After installing Oracle Database Client 12c or later, do not install older version of databases or clients and share the same Oracle base directory. During the installation of older releases of Oracle Database, ACLs are reset corresponding to older releases. Thus Oracle Database 12c or later services might not be able to access the Oracle base directory and the files in it.
You can choose to create a new Oracle base directory, even if other Oracle base directories exist on the system.
3.1.4 Installing Oracle Database Client into Multiple Oracle Homes
You can install all Oracle components in multiple Oracle homes on the same computer. However, some components can only support one active instance at a time. This means that the current (latest) installation renders the previous one inactive. These components are:
Oracle Administration Assistant for Windows
Oracle Provider for OLE DB
3.1.5 Installing Oracle Database Client on a System with an Existing Oracle Software
Oracle Database Client can be installed in the same Oracle Database home if both products are at the same release level. For example, you can install Oracle Database Client 12.1.0.1 into an existing Oracle Database 12.1.0.1 home. If you apply a patch set before installing the client, then you must apply the patch set again.
You can install this release more than once on the same system as long as each installation is installed in a separate Oracle home directory.
3.1.6 Updating the Existing Software with the Current Version
Use the In-Place Upgrade feature to upgrade an existing client installation to the latest release by installing the new client software into an existing client home with the same installation type. For example, if release 12.1.0.1 is installed, then use Oracle Universal Installer to upgrade to release 12.1.0.2.
Consider the following before selecting this option:
This upgrade is only possible in a client home and not in any other Oracle home that contains non-client installations, such as Database installations.
This upgrade does not delete files in the client home that are commonly updated by other users. For example, configuration data files.
This upgrade cannot be performed if processes associated with the Oracle Database Client home are running.
Oracle Home User for the Oracle Home cannot be changed during the upgrade.

3.3 Installing the Oracle Database Client Software
This section covers the following topics:
3.3.1 Guidelines for Installing Oracle Database Client
In most cases, you use the graphical user interface (GUI) provided by Oracle Universal Installer to install Oracle Database Client. However, you can also use Oracle Universal Installer to complete silent or response file installations, without using the GUI. This method is particularly useful if you need to perform multiple installations of Oracle Database Client.
As you install Oracle Database Client, follow these guidelines:
Do not use Oracle Universal Installer from an earlier Oracle product release to install components from this release.
Use the same installation media to install Oracle Database Client on all supported Windows platforms.
If you reinstall Oracle software into an Oracle home directory where Oracle Database Client is already installed, you must reinstall any components that were installed before you began the reinstallation.
Do not modify the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) except by using a patch provided by Oracle Support Services. Oracle Universal Installer automatically installs the Oracle-supplied version of the JRE. This version is required to run Oracle Universal Installer and several Oracle assistants.
If you encounter errors during installation, click Help or see Appendix D, «Troubleshooting the Oracle Database Client Installation» for advice.
Products not installed by default, in case of Custom installation:
Oracle Connection Manager
Oracle Net Listener
Oracle Scheduler Agent
