Oracle 19c Install Error - Failed to add install user to %2% group

Justin WykerNov 10 2023

I'm trying to install 19c on a windows computer and it works fine when I login via the administrator account to install it.
However, when trying to run the installation via our Puppet automation I'm getting this error (Puppet runs as the local system user).

"[FATAL] Failed to add WORKGROUP\<hostname of computer>$ install user to %2% group."

The setup.exe also returns 252 when it exits the installation.

I'm currently attempting this installation on a Workgroup computer to remove exiting domain dependencies.

I'm just curious what group this is referring to? When looking up the error it looks like others have reported seeing it if the computer name was the same as the user account, but that's not the case in this instance.
