Starting the Oracle Forms Installer

Navigate to the downloaded Forms compressed folder containing the installer files and extract the files. You can then launch the installer.

Some platforms may have multiple download files or disks, such as "Disk-1" and "Disk-2". You should extract all the files, for example executable .exe file, from the downloaded compressed (zipped) folder. If the downloaded compressed (zipped) folder contains another compressed (zipped) file, you should not extract that compressed file contained within the original compressed (zipped) folder. You should store all the extracted files from the compressed folder in the same directory before starting the installer.

For installations that require Fusion Middleware Infrastructure, install Fusion Middleware Infrastructure first as described in Installing Fusion Middleware Infrastructure.

Microsoft Windows

Extract the compressed folder (the exact file name may vary):
fmw_14.1.2.0.0_fr_win64_Disk1_1of1.zip

The following executable (.exe) file is extracted from the zip file:

setup_fmw_14.1.2.0.0_fr_win64.exe
Launch the installer by either running it in an elevated DOS shell or by right-clicking it and selecting "Run as administrator".

UNIX/Linux

Extract the compressed folder (the exact file name may vary) with this command:
unzip fmw_14.1.2.0.0_fr_linux64_Disk1_1of1.zip

An executable .bin file is extracted from the compressed folder. You will use this file to start the installer.
Once extracted, run the installer to start the installation:
./fmw_14.1.2.0.0_fr_linux64.bin

View the Installation Log Files

The installer writes log files to the Oracle_Inventory_Location/log (on UNIX operating systems) or Oracle_Inventory_Location\logs (on Windows operating systems) directory. See Installation Log Files for information about log files and their contents.
