Types of Oracle Weblogic Installers

Weblogic Installers Types:

OS-specific Package installer: Operating System specific installer is a standalone version of the installation program that includes the JDKs for the selected platform. The installer may be either an .exe file or a .bin file, depending on the selected platform. (.exe for windows and .bin for UNIX and LINUX)

Please note that Silent mode installation is supported only for Package installers.

Generic Package installer: This type of installer is a .jar file. It does not include the JRockit SDK and Sun JDK. You can use tzhis type of installer to install the product on any supported platform on which Java is already installed.

Upgrade installer: This type of installers allow you to upgrade an existing WebLogic Server installation to the current patch release. For example, if you have WebLogic Server 10.3.0 installed, you can use an Upgrade installer to upgrade your installation to WebLogic Server 10.3.6. If a patch release is available for your current WebLogic Server installation, you can download an Upgrade installer from My Oracle Support.

Depending on the platform, the Upgrade installer is either an OS-specific Package installer (.bin or .exe file) or a Generic Package installer (.jar file). Upgrade installers are available only from My Oracle Support.

Development-only and supplemental installers: The development-only installer is a ZIP file that you extract to a Middleware home directory to create a WebLogic Server installation. It contains a WebLogic Server installation that includes all of the artifacts needed for development. You must not use this WebLogic Server installation for production.
