Figure 1-2 Product Installation Directories window
Here,
C:\bea_dijon is the BEA Home directory and weblogic92 is the product installation
directory for the WebLogic Server 9.2 software. However, you can specify any name and location
on your system for your product installation directory; there is no requirement that you name the
directory
weblogic92 or create it under the BEA Home directory.
The installation program installs the software components in a product installation directory
represented by the
WL_HOME variable. If, during your initial installation, you choose to install
WebLogic Server only, and not all of the products available for installation, and you later decide
to install additional products, such as Workshop for WebLogic Platform (using the same BEA
Home directory), you are not prompted, during the subsequent installations, to specify a product
installation directory. The installation program detects the
WL_HOME directory and installs the
additional products under it.
A description of the BEA Products directory structure is provided in “Understanding the Product
Directory Structure” on page 7-4.
Choosing the Type of Installation
Each BEA Products installation program provides two types of installation: Complete and
Custom.
