About the ORAPARAM.INI File<br />
The ORAPARAM.INI file is the <strong>Oracle</strong> <strong>Universal</strong> <strong>Installer</strong> initialization file. This file<br />
includes information that defines the behavior of certain <strong>Universal</strong> <strong>Installer</strong><br />
features. The installation developer provides a unique ORAPARAM.INI file for each<br />
product installation.<br />
The ORAPARAM.INI file can help you troubleshoot problems and understand<br />
certain aspects of the <strong>Oracle</strong> <strong>Universal</strong> <strong>Installer</strong> product.<br />
For example, for most installations, <strong>Universal</strong> <strong>Installer</strong> provides a default value on<br />
the File Locations page that points to the location of the product’s installation kit or<br />
stage. This default value is stored in the ORAPARAM.INI file. The ORAPARAM.INI<br />
file also identifies the location of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) required for<br />
the installation.<br />

About <strong>Oracle</strong> <strong>Universal</strong> <strong>Installer</strong> Log Files<br />
When you install or deinstall products using <strong>Oracle</strong> <strong>Universal</strong> <strong>Installer</strong>, important<br />
information about each install is saved not only in the <strong>Universal</strong> <strong>Installer</strong> inventory,<br />
but also in a series of log files. These log files can be used to troubleshoot<br />
installation problems. These files are also crucial for deinstalling and configuring<br />
the various software components you install on your Windows or UNIX computer.<br />
