Hello
You need to install the 11.1.1.2 base software and then apply patch 11.1.1.6.
The base software is available from Oracle e delivery by starting here: https://edelivery.oracle.com
You need to log in with your OTN login and password and accept the license terms.
Once logged in, on the search form enter Oracle Fusion Middleware in the Select a Product Pack box then select your platform below.
With both filled in click the Go button
On the next page scroll down till you find the entry called Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Media Pack for 11.1.1.6.0 - click the link
On the next page scroll down till you find the downloads for Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g (11.1.1.2.0) - there will probably be several files to download
The patch is also available from e delivery on the same page as the 11.1.1.2 and is usually located one entry down below the other others. Unlike 11.1.1.2 which comes in multiple files the patch for 11.1.1.6 is nearly always a single large file between 1.5 and 2.0 GB in size
Note: when you install 11.1.1.2 you do a software only install. When you apply the patch you just install it using setup. When both are done you need to run the config.bat (or config.sh) file from within the Middleware bin folder.
Note 2: you must also have downloaded and installed weblogic 10.3.6 and created a repository for Discoverer using RCU 11.1.1.6
Your full list of software therefore is:
1. Java JDK
2. Equivalent JAVA client
3. RCU 11.1.1.6
4. Install Weblogic
5. Install Discoverer 11.1.1.2 software only
6. Install Discoverer 11.1.1.6 patch
7. Configure Discoverer using config.bat or config.sh
Hope this helps

PS. I will be covering installing the software in my upcoming Oracle Discoverer 11g Handbook which is scheduled for release early 2013
