Installer for Oracle Forms Builder Application?

I did a small project in Oracle using the oracle forms constructor - how do I create an installer ( setup.exe

) for my project (the one that will install the application on MS Windows?)

Please ... help me and thanks a lot

Prior to Forms 6i, the Forms runtime client can be installed on the target computer. This target PC also requires a database connection. You don't need a runtime client license.

Starting with 6i, a Forms component can be run through an application server, and the client accesses it through a Java applet in a browser. The application server requires a connection to the database, but the end client does not. The application server needs proper Oracle licensing.



The 6i forms themselves have the choice of running an installed runtime client or through a web browser.

Forms cannot be implemented with the simple Windows Installer.

Which version of oracle forms are you using?
In my last job, we used Forms v4.5 (Developer 2000) - and for this version (which is quite old now), the Runtime Forms software had to be installed on client computers.
Then, when the user double-clicked on the .FMX file, the Forms runtime (F45run32.exe) loaded and ran the form.
It's a long way of saying that for v4.5, you were unable to create a standalone installation. (This may have changed in future versions)
