If you want to install and run Oracle Database Client on a remote computer (that is, the remote computer has the hard drive and runs Oracle Database Client components), but you do not have physical access to the computer, you still can perform the installation on the remote computer.

Use remote access software such as VNC or Symantec pcAnywhere. You also need the remote access software running on your local computer.

You can install Oracle Database Client on the remote computer in the following ways:

• Installing on Remote Computers from a Hard Drive
  If you have copied the contents of the Oracle Database DVD to a hard drive, then you can install the software from the hard drive.
• Installing on Remote Computers from a Remote DVD Drive
  You can insert the DVD into a drive on your local computer, and install from the DVD.
