Oracle 12.2 on Windows 1703 fails with PRVF-3919

Stefan TaubeApr 8 2017 — edited Apr 13 2017

On a fresh Windows 10 Version 1703 the installation of Oracle 12.2 fails the prerequisite check with something like

Environment variable: "PATH" - This test checks whether the length of the environment variable "PATH" does not exceed the recommended length.

PRVF-3919 : Failed to retrieve value of environment variable "PATH"

- Cause:  Environment variable value could not be determined.

- Action:  Check user equivalence and whether the user has administrative privileges on the node.

This even happens when using the local Administrator account.

Anyone else got this error?

Any suggestions?

Edit: What i tried:

* Reproduced the problem with Hyper-V and Windows 1703 Pro => Its not my local machine that's causing the problem

* No PATH-Problem with Hyper-V and Windows 1607 Pro => It has something to do with the swap from 1607 to 1703

* Deleted User-Variable PATH, started cmd.exe as Admin: No success

* i GUESS that 3919 tells us that the access to PATH is the problem, not the length

* Hyper-V + Windows 1607 + Oracle 12.102: Success

* Deactivated Windows Defender: No success

Did anyone SUCCEED installing Oracle 12.2 on Windows 1703 Pro?
