Oracle Installer Quits
968521Oct 15 2012 — edited Oct 17 2012I've seen several people post similar situations in several different forums, including here, but their solutions don't seem to be working for me.
I'm using a Windows 7, Service Pack 1 (64 bit) PC with 8GB RAM and over 100 GB available storage.
I've downloaded and extracted the installation files for Windows x64 (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/index.html) to directory c:\temp
Upon extracting, I right clicked setup.exe and selected 'Run as Administrator'. The cmd window opens for a few seconds, then I get the Oracle 11g splash screen and I can move through the first three screens of the installation. However, upon selecting 'Desktop Class', the installer simply quits. **POOF**
On one forum, it suggested launching the executable from a command prompt and redirecting it to a different JRE by using (this is the jdk I installed from Oracle's website):
c:\temp\database> setup JreLoc c:\users\da\appdata\locallow\sun\java\jdk1.7.0_07_x64
however, this solution fails to launch the installer at all. I have also tried directing this to my regular JRE at c:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7, but this too was unsuccessful.
The conclusion of the log file for my last attempt is as follows:

Do you wish to remain uninformed of critical security issues in your configuration?

Sorry, I'm not terribly knowledgeable on this, I'm trying to install so I can work on a self-study course. I'd appreciate any assistance.
