HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE does not contain entry for inst_loc

SkyKing4AR2Jan 9 2016 — edited Jan 14 2016

After recently installing Oracle 11.2.0.1 on a Windows 7 laptop, I noticed OPatch was giving me errors about not finding the inventory, but I moved on and installed OEM12c 12.0.1.5.

Since I need to patch 11.2.0.1 up, I noticed the registry key for inst_loc was never created.

Is that a known issue, or does anyone know why that could have happened? I assume at this point, I need to recreate the inventory to proceed on with patching any of the homes.

Since I have several more servers to build, I would like to understand if the error was on my part, or what happened.
