Yes. Each workstation will have to have an IP address and SQL*Net. You may be able to get away with creating a "zipped" file with all the C:\ORAWIN(95) files and directory structure. Create a supplemental installation step that creates the C:\ORAWIN(95) directory then unzips thie file while creating the same directory structure. The VFP setup wizard does allow for an executable to be launched after a user has completed the installation. I have not experimented with this feature, but you might try creating an extra executable to install the ORAWIN files automatically.
Unfortunately, I do not know of a fully automated way of installing IP addresses on workstations.
