Hello,
I am trying to create a silent installation of Oracle Database 12c for Windows (we use Win7 and 10). I have done so successfully for our x64 version (Oracle 12c, does not say Release 1 or 2 so I assume it's the original release) by creating a response file, using the silent commands, etc and it works flawlessly. However, in my department we were given Oracle Database 12c Release 1 or 2 for our x86 version and I have noticed that it refuses to install on computers with underscores in the host name even when just trying to run the .exe. This is a problem as we have hundreds and hundreds of computers with underscores in the name (we only recently stopped using underscores!) in our environment. I created the response file on a computer w/out an underscore (so that i can successfully configure all my options in the response file), but when trying to install it silently on a computer with an underscore it fails every time - even when using the -ignorePrereq (and also tried the -ignoreSysPrereqs) tags. I use the -showprogress tag so I can see the error and it reads:
PRVG-11322 : One or more node names "computer_name" contains one or more of the following invalid characters "_"
Here is an example of the command I'm trying to run to bypass the system/prereq checks which doesn't seem to be working:
setup.exe -ignorePrereq -nowait -noconfig -force -silent -waitforcompletion -showprogress -ResponseFile path-to-my-response-file
Any ideas? I also tried using both -ignoreSysPrereqs and -ignorePrereq tags as well as a -novalidation tag which I read online but Oracle does not seem to recognize that one. I can't find the Oracle 12c original release (it appears as though only Release 1 and up have this issue) even after talking with Oracle support otherwise I'd just use that so I'm forced to try to bypass the underscore check for our x86 version.
Is there something I'm missing? I did create the response file for our x86 version on a x64 computers since we use x64 Windows in our environments (but some programs require x86 Oracle) but I can't see that as being the issue.
Thanks.
