B Oracle Discoverer Desktop Installation Screens

B.1 Welcome Screen

The Welcome screen is displayed each time you start the installer.

B.2 Prerequisite Checks Screen

If there is a problem, a short error message appears in the bottom portion of the screen. Fix the error and click Retry to try again.

If you want to ignore the error and warning messages and continue with the installation, click Continue.

Click Abort to stop prerequisite checking for all components.

B.3 Specify Installation Location Screen

Specify the location where you want to install the software. This is your Oracle home directory. All software binaries will reside in this directory, and no runtime process can write to this directory.

• If you specify an existing directory, make sure the directory is empty.

• If you specify a new directory, the installer will create the directory for you.

Make sure that your directory paths are valid and do not contain double backslashes (\\).

B.4 Select Components Screen

Select the components you want to install.

B.5 Installation Summary Screen

Review the information on this screen, and click Install to begin the installation. The operations summarized on this page will be performed when you click Install.

If you want to make any changes to the configuration before starting the installation, use the navigation pane and select the topic you want to edit.

If you want to save this configuration to a text file, click Save. This file can be used later if you choose to perform the same installation from the command line. See Appendix E, "Silent Installation and Deinstallation" for more information.

B.6 Installation Progress Screen

This screen shows you the progress of the installation.

If you want to quit before the installation is completed, click Cancel. Doing so will result in a partial installation; the portion of the software that was installed on your system before you click Cancel will remain on your system, and you will have to remove it manually.

B.7 Installation Completed Screen

This screen summarizes the installation that was just completed.

If you want to save this summary information to a text file for future reference, click Save.
