Oracle Client Installation Windows
Summary: How to install the oracle client on Windows.
Date: Around 2013
Refactor: 8 March 2025: Checked links and formatting.
The Oracle Client installation for Windows is a lot more easy than on aix. There is a setup with a help option, a record option and a responsefile option:
This is the command to view the help:
setup.exe -help
This is the command to start the installation with the record option:
setup.exe -response C:\oracleresponsefile.rsp
This is the command to start the installation with the created responsefile:
setup.exe -responsefile C:\oracleresponsefile.rsp
Then, if you also want it to go fast, you want to use the silent option so all the screens won't have to show:
setup.exe -silent -responsefile C:\oracleresponsefile.rsp
