The installation type is a pre-defined component set that automatically selects which components and dependency groups to install.

The Installation Types which appear in this screen depend on the dependency modes that the developer had specified when the components were built with the Oracle Software Packager. Installation Types are given a name, followed by a description of what is installed using it.

Examples of Installation Types for a product could be Minimum, Complete, Custom, and Typical, and the order of the types may differ depending on how the installation had been developed.

Examples for the installation types are listed below:

Minimum Installs required dependent components only

Complete Installs all dependent components

Custom Installs end-user selected dependent components. If you choose Custom, a tree listing appears which allows you to specify which dependencies to install.

Typical Installs default dependent components

If no Installation Type is specified, the Oracle Universal Installer proceeds directly with the "Custom" installation.

Note: When the number of Installation Types cannot fit as radio buttons on the screen, you may see a scrollable list of install types instead of radio buttons. Additional information may be provided through pop-up descriptions or an "I" button. For a pop-up description of a specific Installation Type, you can move the mouse cursor over the Installation Type and hold it there briefly to display the description. Press the "I" button for additional information.
