Oracle Database 11g Installer Disappears After Prerequisite Checks


Recently I was attempting to install Oracle Database 11g on Windows 7 64 Bit.
The installer was not behaving by disappearing without a trace after running the prerequisite checks.

This forum post was helpful, https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2190825

Specifically, I used the jreLoc flag to setup.exe and specified a different JDK.
Also, the flag did not like the JRE under "Program Files" I think due to the space in the name, so I had to copy my jdk to C:\ to make it work.


C:\database>setup -jreLoc "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_02"
Did not work...
However,
C:\database>setup -jreLoc c:\jdk1.7.0_02
works fine.

    After spending 5 hours for a 5 minute installation job , I tried to change CLASSPATH , PATH , downloaded different version etc. etc. nothing seems to be working event support.oracle.com did not provide good hint. But JDK folder copy to directory ( without space) worked , big relief. Thank you !

    FYI, you don't have to move/copy your JRE/JDK in order for it to work. Assuming you have a 64-bit JRE/JDK installed, you can run the installer as follows, and I know for a fact it works:

    setup.exe -jreLoc C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_45

    PROGRA~1 is the short name for Program Files and PROGRA~2 is the short name for Program Files (x86) if it exists. I use those whenever the path cannot have a space in it.

      @James - your suggestion worked for me!

      As much as I appreciate Nicholas's suggestion, I am writing this as an FYI, and I mean "No disrespect" here, however, Nicholas's suggestion did not work, atleast in my case. As I said I mean no disrespect, just an FYI.

    I tried everything, and the solution in my case was that oracle does not work on hard drives larger than 2 tb. I have a 4tb disk and I had to partition it.
