Peopletools 8.50.06 (Windows client)

Downloaded from http://edelivery.oracle.com
Choose "Peoplesoft Entreprise", plateform "Windows" (the plateform does not really matter here), then under "PeopleSoft Enterprise - PeopleTools 8.50 Media Pack", then disk named as
"PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools 8.50 Disk 1 of 3"
"PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools 8.50 Disk 2 of 3
"PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools 8.50 Disk 3 of 3
Note : the first two disks are kind of DVD (>1Gb).

Important note : whether the OS wordsize (32/64bits) does not matter for a client installation, it makes a big difference as soon as you install a server (Apps/Batch/PIA), only a 64bit OS is certified in that case. However, on Windows, a 32bit Oracle client is always required, either for client or server installation.

At this step you'll need the license code from (depending of the database type you are working on - I'm still puzzle why not simply ask for the database type instead of those codes) http://licensecodes.oracle.com/ent_keys_by_prod.html#PeopleTools
The license code are same for production usage.

I never ran successfully the setup.bat under /Disk1 (never responds), I always have to use /Disk1/InstData/setup.exe instead.
NOTE (added 21-FEB-2010) : to make this setup.bat running, you may change the file as following :
Original setup.bat

set installDir=%~dp0
dir %installDir%\InstData\setup.exe > nul 2>&1
if errorlevel=1 goto eof
...

After modification

set installDir=%~dp0
dir %installDir%\InstData\setup.exe > nul 2>&1
rem if errorlevel=1 goto eof
...

You could also have some issue if the Peoplesoft installer path directory contains space. Thanks to the blog reader Richard Banks, for suggesting me the following modification on the first line of setup.bat file :
Before modification

set installDir=%~dp0

After modification

set installDir="%~dp0"

The installation of Peopletools show below is on Windows Server 2008 64bit.

Peopletools 8.50.00

=> This is never responding (to make it run, see the note added earlier)... so use the following intead :






If you don't need Unicode, check non-unicode database.
You can disable some of the components below



Specify the path directory for %ORACLE_HOME%/bin
