best practice for installing oracle instant client?

[mary_v]

Hi there,

anybody can give some information about a good way for implementing oracle instant client (version11) with installscript?

would using a kind of merge module useful?

what's the best practice in your eyes?

In the samples available with InstallShield, you should be able to find a Basic MSI project for installing Oracle Instant Client. You can use the project and create a MSI setup out of it. Then you can use this msi as a prerequisite in your InstallScript project.

Refer to this link for more help --> http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/doc/Helpnet/installshield16helplib_sp1/ConnectToOracle.htm.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Alpesh
