   I have built an application using Oracle Forms and Reports and now need to   
   install it on a couple user machines for demo/pilot. There is no Forms   
   Server available to be used for installation, nor is there anyone available   
   to set one up so need to install the forms and reports runtime engine on the   
   client machines which run win2k.   
      
   It was suggested to me that I could locate the ifrun60.exe on a shared drive   
   and just run it from there, without going through any oracle install process   
   on the client. When I do this I get the message:   
      
   "message file p:\orant\dbs\fmcus.msb not found "-- This file is in my   
   \orant\forms60 directory and not in the one where it is looking. The   
   forms runtime runs fine on the machine in which forms was originally   
   installed, (the one that has "shared" its drive).   
      
   This sounds to me like some setup needs to happen on the client. Does   
   anyone know if I have to use the oracle installer to install the forms   
   runtime engine on the client or if I can simply "run" ifrun60.exe from the   
   shared drive? It may be something as simple as forms environment   
   variables, needing setting. I don't know. Is anyone else running the forms   
   runtime engine from a shared drive and did they have to do anything special   
   on the client?
