I have built an application using Oracle Forms and Reports and now need to install it on a couple user machines for demo/pilot. There is no Forms Server available to be used for installation, nor is there anyone available to set one up so need to install the forms and reports runtime engine on the client machines which run win2k. It was suggested to me that I could locate the ifrun60.exe on a shared drive and just run it from there, without going through any oracle install process on the client. When I do this I get the message: "message file p:\orant\dbs\fmcus.msb not found "-- This file is in my \orant\forms60 directory and not in the one where it is looking. The forms runtime runs fine on the machine in which forms was originally installed, (the one that has "shared" its drive). This sounds to me like some setup needs to happen on the client. Does anyone know if I have to use the oracle installer to install the forms runtime engine on the client or if I can simply "run" ifrun60.exe from the shared drive? It may be something as simple as forms environment variables, needing setting. I don't know. Is anyone else running the forms runtime engine from a shared drive and did they have to do anything special on the client? tnx |
executable is incorrect. I no longer have an installed copy of
this version, it is very old, but I would expect there may be
environment variables such as ORACLE_HOME and FORMS_HOME that
must point to the installation files as well as the executable.
And please do not post to every usenet group containing the word
Oracle: One and only one. Thank you.

done installation on a network share. But indeed, that is not enough. Oracle
Forms needs a bunch of registry settings to work, which you may have to
export from a PC with a working Forms installation to yours. Just export
all the registry settings under ORACLE (and the oracle key as well) will do,
and put the Forms bin directory on your path. Check if the directories in
the registry do match with yours.
(But while typing this I wonder if you need a seperate Oracle client
install, but I don't recall you do need one, it's all in the Forms home
directory.)
