D2K runtime Installation.
Hi,
I am trying to load a developer 2000 runtime by copying the DLL and EXE.
After copying all the files I had tried to run a FMX. But it is giving problem to
run.
I don't want to run a setup. I want to distribute a supporting files to the user.
I want to make my own setup. I had D2K CD. Can I cut a CD with only Runtime setup.
I want solution that whether it is possible to run application only by copying a
required files.
I possible waht should be done to go for.
where can I get the list of required file.
If anyone tried for that or having this solution please give me.
Regards.
Sandeep P.

Hi,
Load from the Oracle Developer Setup.
Chose the type of install = custom install
and select the runtime options only
for eg:
forms runtime
system support files etc.,
Requirement support files.
Hope this helps you!

I don't want to use setup on D2K cd
can I Make my own D2K runtime CD.
which contains only D2K runtime.

I don't sure about setup of D2K, but I know you can run the setup in batch and gave it parameters of what components to install and where.
You "record" an example setup and then you can run it in batch and in silent mode.
I don't think you can run D2K without installing it on the PC 'cuase it have entries in the registry.

I guess if all your users are connected to the same network it is possible for you to install the forms runtime engine on a single computer and execute the same from your clients. you will have to add some registry entries manually.
that's sure. you can put ORACLE_HOME on a mapped device. The big question is how to find _all_ the registry entries.
if by searching or taking snapshot of registry before and after and compare, or by reinstall the product by Oracle install setup.
I did this (enter registry entries manually) for Oracle server and it went very good.

Just make a temporary installation of forms runtime engine alone on one of the clients and see what are the entries

Hi Crsankar,

network machine.

I will get back to you on this.
I have just tried it and it works.
Here are the steps.
Install Oracle Forms 4.5 runtime engine on a client
Export the registry entries for oracle. you can export just the node for oracle.
Now import it to any client pc
make a mapping to the server Orant directory
change the registry entries. this will depend on your mapping.
That is all. It works prefect

Excellent alternative for this problem.
Really a nice solution.
But my requirement is something different.
Consider I had developed one application
and I want to give to a client who doesn't have the D2K cd.
He has setup of Oracle. I want to give a CD( my own) of application containing a runtime
in it.
So that he can install a runtime alongwith my applcation.

This solution is only available to members.

Have you tried Oracle File Packager? This allows you to set up your own custom install CD (from a staging area) made up of only the options you want included in the new CD install. You can choose only the runtime components or any other options you want. The File Packager then creates your own custom install .prd file(s) in a staging area that you can then burn to a CD. Or you can install from the staging area if you wish.
No need to worry about multiple Oracle Homes or registry hacks on each pc.
