I would search for agentctl and dbsnmp in $ORACLE_HOME/bin first. Then choose 'Installed products' in the installer. The Intelligent Agent is installed by default in a *server* install, as it is a *server tool*.
If you don't find the Agent, you need to perform a *custom* *server* install, not a *client* install, and choose the 'Intelligent Agent' option (provided there is a separate option, I don't know that from the top of my head)
You don't need to install the JRE. Oracle Intelligent Agent has nothing to do with Java, and is not just a patch.
