Oracle Database Discussions

Hi All,

I am having a problem installing the Oracle database, I go to the site and download the 2 Oracle zip files.

I create a directory C:\temp\

I unzip "1of2" and place the "database" folder in my "temp" folder.

Question 1: In the "2of2" do I take the database/stage/components and place them in the "1of2" database/stage/components folder? not sure how to merge the contents of the zips but this seems like the logical thing to do.

Then I run setup.exe.

Oracle Universal Installer:

Screen 1: I enter email, and uncheck the oracle support box "i wish to receive security updatesvia My Oracle Support".

Note: little "connection failed" popup box, I check it's box "I want to remain uninformed if critical security issues in my configuration", click continue.

Screen 2: install database software only.

Screen 3: Single instance database installation.

Screen 4: I select "English"

Screen 5: I choose to install "Enterprise Edition"

Screen 6: it shows me Oracle base C:\app\<myuser>

software location: C:\app\<myuser>\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1

Screen 7: validating target environment to meet minimum installation loading bar.

ERROR: gets to 100% and the entire OUI abruptly closes with no warning or error message. No further Installation or anything.


please provide so insight on this, I am total at a loss right now and need to get this working.


thank you,

Josefina
