David,

The correct installation procedure is described in http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/B10924_01/toc.htm Obviously this version is a patch and you need to install it on top of an existing Oracle installation, using a newer version of the installer.
Usually the installation procedures are sound and should be followed to the letter.
