Connecting to Oracle db question

What exactly is needed to connect a client application to an Oracle db? Our current standard procedure is to install the Oracle client software (anything ranging from v7.3.3 on up to 9i). I recently travelled to a European site to train users on the software and their support people were able to achieve the connection without installing the client. I believe that had a script that only installed SQL Net components. I'm interested in finding out the minimum required components so that I can write a silent installation procedure for our VB6 application that installs our app as well as the components needed for the db connection. Our customers have requested this since they don't want to deal with two separate installs for one application. Any comments or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
