Re: Remote automated installation of Oracle clients

Hello Stephen

We are doing network install of clients. For each department, we put the software on the departmental file server and at each client we only update the registry, paths etc. This gives us 2 advantages:
1) No software on client machines.
2) Simple tnsnames update.

When we need to install new version, we move the software to a new folder on the file server.
Then we run a logon script that just update the paths and registry and the user is working with a new client software.

Just curious, why do you want to uninstall old client? Just leave it there.

Have you noticed that only two industries refer to their clients as users
