- Run the CD install on a 'virgin' machine, asking for only the SQL*Net
product. It will create C:\ORAWIN95 or C:\ORANT with all of the files that
you require.
- Use REGEDIT use export your registry file. You want to create a
SQLNET.REG file that contains all of the definitions for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE. This will consider ORACLE_HOME to be on
the C: drive; it may be appropriate to change this drive mapping.
- Distribute a copy of your C:\ORAWIN95 or C:\ORANT directory to your
clients. This directory can be located on a LAN drive if it makes things
easier.
- Each client work station will have to run SQLNET.REG to update their
registry. They should also add the <ORACLE_HOME>/BIN directory to their
PATH, so that third party (i.e. Powerbuilder) software can find the
software.
