Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle Silent Installs and Response files...
Aha... Proof!
Here is a response file that I use for silent installs of the Oracle 817 client. It installs the bare essentials that we use here - SQL*Plus, JDBC Drivers, Net8 essentials, and the OCI layer - onto an individual PC.
One interesting note: I could not get the 817 installer to use the response file correctly. I believe there is a known bug (internally at Oracle) stating that it will not work correctly in 8.1.7. I was lucky enough to get a great support person at Oracle to work with, and she helped me figure out that my response file would work, with the 9.0.1 installer.
Enjoy... Feel free to improve on it or point out any errors...

I've heard rumors of people getting it to work.
Some have claimed they have.
When asked to share their response files, I received nothing.
I once spent several hours attempting to setup a working response file. No joy.
It's in the same class as bigfoot: several sightings, but the only photos are faked.
