Oracle Workflow 2.6.2 can be installed into either an Oracle Database home using the database CDs or into an Oracle Applicaton Server home using the Application Server Integration CD. I have tended to install using the database CD into a database Oracle home.

The only time this gives problems are on Windows if you have App Server and Oracle database on the same machine with the two HTTP servers running - as Workflow has web management based on both servlets and mod_plsql. The mod_plsql module uses an environment variable to find its config file, consequently unless you want to manually muck about, only one web server will have mod_plsql working. So in this case you need to pick one of the HTTP servers to be used for all mod_plsql stuff (probably best to use App Server owing to other products such as Portal that rely on mod_plsql), set your WV_GATEWAY_CFG accordingly and install Workflow into this Oracle Home.
