Note that it is not instantclient-basiclite-win32 because Basiclite only supports English and Western European character sets. Instantclient-basic-win32 is currently version 11.1.0.7.0, which is the download file instantclient-basic-win32-11.1.0.7.0.zip.

Unzip the package, for example, into the D:\instantclient_11_1 folder, add this path to the system variable path, preferably added at the beginning of the path. Add a tns_admin variable inside the system variable, and the value is set to C:\instantclient_11_1.
