Anyone attempted this install on Windows 2012 R2 yet? I downloaded the 12.1.0.4 zip files and extracted them into the following path: D:\OraInstall. I followed the Windows prerequisites and have attempted numerous times to run setup.exe. I am running it as a server administrator. From the install, I request to download the patches from Oracle Support and, once identified, I am prompted that the installer will restart. I get a command prompt showing that it is restarting, but then it never does with the command prompts and GUI all disappearing. It never restarts even after letting it sit for days. Even after that amount of time, something is running in the background, because if I logout or reboot, contents in the install log file location will disappear.
The .log and and .out files are unhelpful The .err file of the install log file location contains the following:
oracle.sysman.oii.oiii.OiiiInventoryDoesNotExistException: The inventory pointer location /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc is either not readable or does not exist

Oracle Support states the error is caused by the installation files not being extracted to the same location, but I know they are correct. I have attempted this multiple times to the point where it's useless to try again without direction. I'm not even sure if this is indicative of the problem. Windows 2012 R2 was only recently certified, but I don't think the installation files have been updated since that certification.
