The following environment variables will be altered if you choose to allow the installer to modify the environment variables: CLASSPATH, LIB, INCLUDE and PATH. NOTE: TimesTen does include the Oracle Instant Client and allowing the installer to modify the PATH environment variable can be a source of problems if you have the either Oracle Database or Oracle Client software installed as the instant client for TimesTen will be first in the PATH.

Oracle TimesTen 11g includes JDBC drivers for JDK 5 and 6. You have the option to add one of the versions to the CLASSPATH environment variable.
Click the Next button to continue.
You can review the installation options prior to installing TimesTen. If you find that you need to make changes click the Back button to go back the configuration page in which you need to change. Click the Next button to continue.
