Oracle Forms 14.1.2.0.0 Configuration Assistant fails due to WMIC removal on Windows 11

Matt MulvaneyFeb 9 2026

WMIC is deprecated and was removed by default in Win11 22H2+.

Configuration Assistant config_builder.cmd fails due to the above problem - see below error message

'WMIC' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
