Stephenie,
Oracle doesn't make anything real easy. There is no executable, what you need is
the Oracle Universal Installer. If you have the Oracle Client installed, there should
be a menu item called Oracle Installation Products. Click on the Universal Installer,
and click Next... Then on the next screen for "Source", click browse and find the
products.jar file -- this should have been extraced from your driver download (in a
Disk1\Stage\ directory in the location where you extracted the files)
If you don't have that, then you would need to grab hold of an oracle product that has
the installer on it -- the client is the best bet. There is a product for download on
the Oracle site called Oracle Rdb ODBC Drivers that has the Installer included with
the download -- these are not the drivers you need, most likely, but you it may be a
quicker way to grab hold of the installer .
HTH,
Tim P.
