Oracle 12.2 Installer fails at 86% with "Failed to set ACL's for specified user"

Andrew HJan 11 2018 — edited Jan 11 2018

Windows 2012 R2 x64 Virtual machine

Oracle 12.2.0.1 x64 Standard Edition

OS is Swedish language version if that makes a difference.

I login as Administrator, open an administrator command prompt, set the following:

set temp=c:\temp

net use \\COMPUTER\c$

net share

\winx6412201_database\setup.exe

The installer comes up and when I get to the user screen, I have chosen: virtual, specific user ('oracle', which is pre-created on the server with act as part of the operating system and log on as a service policies.  ORA_DBA is pre-created).  I have also chosen Windows in-built user.

No matter which option I choose, the installer gets to 86% and throws out the error in the subject.  At the time, it seems that the current operation is trying to write to the registry under the Oracle key.  When I check the registry, everything seems to be ok.

If I click continue on that error box twice then the installer completes without further errors, however, I cannot create an empty database: I get an error about the dbca not being able to write to a temporary controlfile during the creation of the database, which seems like a privileges issue, but I can manually create files at the same location, and the control file that it says it cannot create is actually there.  I think that these two errors are probably related, and that it's something to do with the operating systems privilege settings somewhere but I can't figure it out.
