You can get a product called Hummingbird Exceed which will do what you want on a Windows platform, but the cost may be prohibitive if you will only use it once for the install. Otherwise, another alternative is to find another Unix machine which _does_ have graphics capabilities. Then you could do something like:
graphicshost$ xhost +aix
graphicshost$ rlogin aix
aix$ export DISPLAY=graphicshost:0.0
aix$ ./oracle-install
(or whatever your install program is)

wsreg_register
wsreg_register(3WSREG) Product Install Registry Library Functions wsreg_register(3WSREG)
NAME
wsreg_register - register a component in the product install registry
SYNOPSIS
cc [flag ...] file ...-lwsreg [library ...]
#include <wsreg.h>
int wsreg_register(Wsreg_component *comp);
DESCRIPTION
The wsreg_register() function updates a component in the product install registry.
If comp is already in the product install registry, the call to wsreg_register() results in the currently registered component being
updated. Otherwise, comp is added to the product install registry.
An instance is assigned to the component upon registration. Subsequent component updates retain the same component instance.
If comp has required components, each required component is updated to reflect the required component relationship.
If comp has child components, each child component that does not already have a parent is updated to reflect specified component as its
parent.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, a non-zero value is returned. If the component could not be updated in the product install registry, 0 is
returned.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Create and register a component.
The following example creates and registers a component.
#include <wsreg.h>
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
char *uuid = "d6cf2869-1dd1-11b2-9fcb-080020b69971";
Wsreg_component *comp = NULL;
/* Initialize the registry */
wsreg_initialize(WSREG_INIT_NORMAL, NULL);
/* Create the component */
comp = wsreg_create_component(uuid);
wsreg_set_unique_name(comp, "wsreg_example_1");
wsreg_set_version(comp, "1.0");
wsreg_add_display_name(comp, "en", "Example 1 component");
wsreg_set_type(comp, WSREG_COMPONENT);
wsreg_set_location(comp, "/usr/local/example1_component");
/* Register the component */
wsreg_register(comp);
wsreg_free_component(comp);
return 0;
}
USAGE
A product's structure can be recorded in the product install registry by registering a component for each element and container in the
product definition. The product and each of its features would be registered in the same way as a package that represents installed files.
Components should be registered only after they are successfully installed. If an entire product is being registered, the product should
be registered after all components and features are installed and registered.
In order to register correctly, the component must be given a uuid, unique name, version, display name, and a location. The location ass-
gined to product structure components should generally be the location in which the user chose to install the product.
