Answer 1

Are you installing a Developer instance of Oracle Forms 11g or an Application Server instance of Oracle Forms 11g? The processes for each are different.
The best installation instructions I've found for a Developer Instance is *How to Install Fusion Middleware 11.1.1.1/11.1.1.2 Forms and Reports Only [ID 854117.1]*. This is a My Oracle Support document, so you must have a My Oracle Support account to get it. If you don't have a My Oracle Support account, just follow the "Quick Installation Guides" that come with WebLogic Server (WLS) and Oracle Fusion Middleware (FMW).
Go to the Oracle WebLogic Server Downloads page and download the Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.2) - Package Installer. The file should be: wls1032_win32.exe. This is the minimum configuration of WLS needed to run FMW by a developer.
Next, go to the Oracle Forms Services 11g page and click on the "Downloads" tab and download the Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer (11.1.1.2.0) or (11.1.1.3.0). This is a Large download.
Once you have the needed software downloaded, run the WLS installer. Just follow the prompts and don't run the "Quickstart" at the end of the installation. Next, start the FMW installer. Follow all the prompts until you get to the *"Specify Installation Location"* screen. Make sure you write down directory locations listed on this screen. You can keep the default locations or you can change the Oracle Home Directory, Oracle Instance Location and Oracle Instance Name. I don't recommend you change the Oracle Middleware Home Location or the Weblogic Server Location. Also, make sure you record the WLS User ID and Password as you will need these each time you start the WLS process.
Next, on the Configure Components screen, select only the Oracle Forms and Reports server components, the Oracle Forms and Reports builder development tools, Management Components and Oracle HTTP Server system component. Then just follow the remaining prompts (you may need to configur a proxy, so check for this before you bypass this step). Once the Configuration Process is complete you will need to configur the Environment Variables so Forms knows whe re everything is. Most notably, you'll need to set the TNS_ADMIN variable so Forms can find your TNSNAMES.ora. You can also setup environment variables to bypass the WLS log-in each time you start the WLS services. These variables are: WLS_USER and WLS_PW.
You should be ready to start the WLS and Forms services at this point and use the Forms and Reports builders. At a minimum, you will need to start the Admin Server for Weblogic Server Domain and run the Start Weblogic Server in the Forms Services folder.
If you are performing an Application Server install, I can't help you with this as I have not done this type of installation. :-)
Hope this helps,
