Hi,
I'm trying to create a golden image of Oracle 19c because apparently the base installer encounters issues on WIndows 11 which I'm using as my developer workstation. According to posts I have found the best solution is to create a “golden image” of another installation that has been patched to (at very least 19.13). I've tried creating the golden image on two different Windows Server 2022 boxes using both 19.25 and patch level 19.26 and they both routinely fail at 99% for some unknown reason.
The error directs you to a log that doesn't indicate anything useful other than that it failed and the last step it took. Any ideas?
