Oracle Free 23ai (silent) installation fails under windows 11

bb_asJun 27 2024 — edited Jun 28 2024

(Update: now I tried the interactive installation but get the same error, so it doesn't seem to be a specific problem of the silent installation.)

Hi all,

I tried a silent installation of the new windows native installation of Oracle Free 23ai under Windows 11, but didn't succeed. I downloaded and unzipped WINDOWS.X64_234000_free.zip, then I changed the rsp-file as follows:

#Do not leave any parameter with empty value
#Install Directory location, username can be replaced with current user
INSTALLDIR=C:\app\as\product\23ai\
#Database password, All users are set with this password, Remove the value once installation is complete
PASSWORD=manager
#If listener port is set to 0, available port will be allocated starting from 1521 automatically
LISTENER_PORT=0
#Specify char set of the database
CHAR_SET=AL32UTF8
#Specify the database domain for the db unique name specification
DB_DOMAIN=
#Specify TRUE for performing software only install
SOFTWARE_ONLY=FALSE

Now I opened cmd.exe as administrator and entered:

setup.exe /s /v"RSP_FILE=C:\Temp\ora23free\FREEInstall.rsp" /v"/L*v C:\Temp\ora23free\setup.log" /v"/qn"

The setup.log is very long, but at the end it says “MainEngineThread is returning 1603”

There is another log file C:\app\as\product\23ai\dbhomeFree\cfgtoollogs\oui\InstallActions2024-06-27_11-04-15AM\installActions2024-06-27_11-04-15AM.log

SEVERE: [27.06.2024 11:04:20] [FATAL] [INS-32113] The location specified for Oracle Base is under a directory that is modifiable by Authenticated users.
AKTION: Specify a path that does not exist or is not under a directory that is modifiable by Authenticated users.

What's the problem here? What exactly are “authenticated users”? Any hints how to solve the problem?

(Note: I also tried again and gave a value for DB_DOMAIN, but same result)
