Generic Package Installation

Generic Package Installation Steps
Note:

Generic Package installer:

. It does not include JAVA runtime. (When using "Generic Package installer" it is a prerequisite that a supported JDK should be installed)
. If you want to install Weblogic server with 64bit JVM, you have to use "Generic Package installer"
. "Generic Package installer" is platform independent and can be used to install weblogic server on any supported 32bit or 64bit platform.

As explained earlier there are three different ways of installing Oracle Weblogic Server:

1. Graphical mode
2. Console mode
3. Silent mode

Generic installer is platform independent so the installation steps are common fro any supported OS versions with a few exceptions that will be mentioned in braces
