– Choose the INSTALL directory icon.

If you are using Oracle Installer for the first time, it prompts you to
select a language.
b. Select a language, or choose OK to accept the default language.
When you select a language, Oracle Installer sets the NLS_LANG
configuration parameter. National Language Support (NLS) can be
changed after installation by changing the values for the
NLS_LANG configuration parameter and by using Oracle Installer
to install the message files for the additional language. See
Migrating from Earlier Releases, and National Language Support for
details on installing additional languages.
You can also set NLS for an individual instance using several
parameters in the initialization parameter file. NLS Language
Support in this Guide contains information about installing
additional languages.
Note: The default language, English, is installed with every
Oracle7 Server for Windows NT, in addition to any other
language you select.
c. Specify a company name and Oracle Home location, then
choose OK. The Software Asset Manager window appears.

following buttons:
Exit Closes the Software Asset Manager, and exits Oracle Installer.
