Imagine you come at a customer and there is already some Oracle product installed (say a client).
Next you want to add Forms/Reports runtime by using a copy of the file-structure and a corresponding
regisrty-export (this works great for empty machines). As you know, when you import the Oracle key on target machine the existing one is overwritten.
In fact you want to ADD an Oracle product (orahome) to an existing Oracle machine by means of manually add/update the registry and copy the whole file-structure.

You wonder WHY I would like to do so?
It's faster to copy an Oracle home file structure and update manually the regisrty than using the installer.
