Pre-Installation

Before you install Oracle8 Client for Windows NT and Windows 95/98,

1. Review the hard copy Release Notes.
2. Review Chapter 2 of Oracle8 Client Getting Started for Windows NT and Windows 95/98 for descriptions of all products available for installation.
3. Install and test your network hardware and software, if applicable.
4. Decide on which installation type you want to perform:



For this Installation Type...	Review...
Install Oracle8 Client on a computer containing no previous version	This document.
Install Oracle8 Client into multiple Oracle homes.	Chapter 5, "Using Multiple Oracle Homes" of Oracle8 Client Getting Started for Windows NT and Windows 95/98 and this document.

 

Attention::   Two versions of Oracle8 Client for Windows NT and Windows 95/98 cannot co-exist in the same home directory if they are of the same major release (for example, release 8.0.5 and release 8.0.4) because they depend on common files; one overwrites the other. Starting with release 8.0.4, they can be successfully installed in separate home directories.

   

IMPORTANT:   If you purchased Oracle Web Application Server, install the Oracle Web Application Server CD-ROM first.   If you attempt to install the Oracle Web Application Server CD-ROM after installing Oracle8 Client, dialog boxes appear asking if you want to downgrade the software components. Answer No to these messages.

   

System Requirements

Before installation, check the hardware and software requirements:

Hardware Requirements

Oracle8 Client requires the following hardware:

• Personal computer based on an Intel 80486 processor or higher.
• Installed and functioning network.
• Sufficient disk space for the products you want to install. (The amount of disk space required will vary depending on the items/options you choose for your installation:



Installation Option1	Requirements2
Application User	16 MB of RAM for Windows NT   8 MB of RAM for Windows 95/98   60 MB of hard disk space
Database Administrator	32 MB of RAM for Windows NT   24 MB of RAM for Windows 95/98   100 MB of hard disk space
Pro*C/C++	32 MB of RAM for Windows NT and Windows 95/98   35 MB of hard disk space

SQL*Plus	16 MB of RAM for Microsoft Windows NT   8 MB of RAM for Microsoft Windows 95/98   25 MB of hard disk space

 

1 To find out how much disk space a product requires, select the product in the Software Asset Manager window and view the disk space requirements in the information field. To access the Software Asset Manager window, click Custom Installation during the installation process. If you do not want to perform a Custom Installation after reviewing the disk space requirements of products, click Exit and begin the installation process again.  2 Oracle products for Windows 3.1x are provided for backward compatibility with Oracle7. Note that there are no Oracle8 components available on Windows 3.1x. To install the Oracle Client Application User or Oracle Client Network Manager products for Windows 3.1x, 8 MB of RAM and 32 MB of hard disk space are required.

 

Software Requirements

Oracle8 Client requires the following software:

• Windows NT Workstation 4.0
• Windows NT Server 4.0
• Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0

or
Windows 95/98
• A Java-enabled web browser
• Oracle WebServer 2.1x or Web Application Server 3.0 must be installed and running before installing the Oracle ConText Option Workbench components, the Viewer Cartridge, and Configuration Manager (available by Custom Installation only).
