Unable to execute runInstaller: Check if the DISPLAY variable is set
131861Dec 24 2007 — edited Feb 5 2008I am unable to run the Oracle Installer (runInstaller) on my Solaris10 client (Windows Vista PC). The IP address of my PC is 192.168.0.191 and the IP address of the remote Sun server (from which I am invoking the runInstaller) is 192.168.0.192.
