Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)

Express Edition 21c silent installation fails with SEVERE log entry

User_GP9H9Aug 5 2022

Hello all,
I am following the steps one-to-one, to perform a silent install of Oracle 21c Express Edition as documented on the official installation page:
Express Edition 21c silent installation
I downloaded OracleXE213_Win64.zip, with sha256: 939742c3305c466566a55f607638621b6aa7033a183175f6bcd6cffb48e6bc3f
I have a plain Windows 10 Pro x64, complete fresh installation, no additional software installed.
Created C:\xe_temp
Unzipped all to C:\xe_temp
Left XEInstall.rsp as is.
Command Prompt (CMD) Run as administrator.
cd C:\xe_temp
setup.exe /s /v"RSP_FILE=c:\xe_temp\response\XEInstall.rsp" /v"/L*v c:\xe_temp\setup.log" /v"/qn"
Once all is done, I can connect to the database with sqlplus, however setup.log says:
WARNING: Unable to obtain the user in domain format, attempting with local users.

SEVERE: C:\app\myuser\product\21c\

setup.log also contains:
MSI (s) (78:38) [14:17:41:831]: Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: Oracle Database 21c Express Edition. Product Version: 21.0.0.0. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Oracle Corporation. Installation success or error status: 0.
I did not find any further information in cfgtoollogs\dbca nor cfgtoollogs\dbca\XE files.
Any help appreciated.
