AW: Net 8 installation on a server rather than client question
Title: Nachricht Hi Ron, to use Oracle Clients from network share, copy an existing oracle client to a network share. Then edit the registry and set all parameters in HKLM/Software/Oracle to this network share. Export these settings and copy it to all your Clients which should use this oracle client. Then you have to set the path variable to oracle\bin of your network share. Also take a look at ODBC settings in the registry HKLM/Software/ODBC, there could be some links to oracle DLL's. Change the path to this DLL's to your network share. This procedure works for me with 50 Clients since 3 years.

Is there was way to install Net 8 on a nt server and have client pc's execute the Net 8 from the server instead of loading Net 8 on the client's pc. To avoid installation of Net 8 on the clients. I already have the tnsnames.ora file on the server and with a bat file that updates the registry on the client to point to the server to get the tnsnames file.

Re: Net 8 installation on a server rather than client question
I did this for a while with the 7.3 client. Performance was abysmal. My network admin also was on my case about network traffic. I don't know if the Net8 client would be better or not. Pointing TNS_ADMIN to a network drive is great, but unless there have been significant changes in the client, I would be more inclined to have it local. What I did for the network install was to set up a machine installing the client to a network drive. Exported the registry key for Oracle. Copied the Windows system files to a network location. Added that location to the PATH variable. It was cumbersome, but it worked. On the other machines I imported the registry file, added the PATH variable, and TNS_ADMIN variable. The problem with all this is when you upgrade the client, you have to upgrad all the user registries with the new keys and structure changes that Oracle makes. You may as well install each machine.
