Instant Client - This installation type installs only the shared libraries required by Oracle Call Interface applications that use the Instant Client feature. It requires much less disk space than the other client installation types.
Note: If you select Instant Client install type, then you cannot apply software updates during the installation session. To download and apply the latest software updates, you must select Administrator, Runtime, or Custom install type.
Administrator - This installation type installs the Oracle Enterprise Manager Standalone Console, Oracle networking services, and client software that enables applications or individuals to connect to an Oracle database. It also installs development tools that you can use to develop applications.
Runtime - This installation type installs a limited number of components for a database application user. With the exception of Oracle Enterprise Manager Standalone Console, it installs the same components as the Administrator installation type.
Custom - This installation type allows you to select the client applications and utilities that you want to install.
