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 />

For more information about the log files generated by <strong>Oracle</strong> <strong>Universal</strong> <strong>Installer</strong>, see<br />
