3. then the next instruction is to set the library loading path in the environment.
Could any one tell me how to proceed with step3 without running the exe file.Well, the Step 3 is pretty clear, isn't it ?
3. Set the library loading path in your environment to the directory in Step 2 ("instantclient"). On
many UNIX platforms, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the appropriate environment variable. On Windows,
PATH should be used.=================================================================
If you are on Windows, add the full path till the directory where you unzipped the "InstantClient" in your PATH variable.
1) Right click on "My Computer", which is either on the desktop or "Start" -> "My Computer" (depending on your version of Windows)
2) Click on "Advanced" tab and then click on "Environment variables".
3) Select "Path", click on "Edit" button, add the full path till the directory, keep clicking on "OK" till you exit.
=================================================================
If you are using a Unix flavor or Linux distro, you will have to set the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" variable in your .profile.
In Linux, the .bash_profile is in your HOME directory (echo $HOME once you log in). Append something like the following to it:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<full_path_of_the_directory_where_instant_client_has_been_unzipped>
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Same goes for the ".profile" of Unix boxes.
Thereafter, run the .profile/.bash_profile in the current shell or log out and log in again.
$ . ~/.bash_profile

Just noticed your mention of "exe file", which hints at your OS being Windoze. You may disregard the Unix/Linux part.
