On the distribution CD is a subdirectory DEPLOY, that contains instructions on how to make your own distribution package. Read the readme file - despite its apparent complexity, it really is quite easy to copy/install the files. It worked fine on the first try when I made one. However, I have not tried to get it to create program groups and icons.

I just needed to make a CD for the Oracle runtime - the application forms/reports / etc were coming a different way, so I just copied the files specific to our installation (ie, tnsnames.ora)

(I don't have the CD with me, I believe it is called DEPLOY - look on the development kit CD)
