  • Hi mykolaq,

    I solved that this morning by launching it "As Admin".

    Create a cmd calling the msi. Save. Right click, run as Administrator.

Need more details.
  • What command are you using?
  • What security context, SYSTEM or user account?
  • Do you turn on logging for the msi install? (l*vx)

I've seen in other Java packages that the MSI and does not like handling PROPERTIES passed to the msi, thus you need to use the config.xml -  I now think this is the better option rather than using PROPERTIES. If you look around on itninja, you will find other posts that will help.

Remember that all the EXE does is pass parameters to MSIExec.EXE so just use the MSI to begin with. Remember also that the MSI isn't a "proper" MSI, since it's just a wrapper for Oracle's installer.

>I didnt turn msi logging
So how on Earth do you expect to find out which Action is causing the problem? Divine intervention?

Do you have to have 64-bit? I extracted the .msi for the 32-bit version yesterday without error.
