Tag: Installation

I am running into all sorts of issues while trying to install Oracle Database 19c on my personal Windows 10 machine. I downloaded the newest version from Oracle’s website and need a subject matter expert for support. I have tried installing it many different ways but usually get hung up in the database creation phase.

In the run that I am noting this post on I have set up the installation as an enterprise desktop virtual account software only setup. I am running as an administrator from the only user on the machine. The URL has no spaces in it in associated with the location of the installation file and between installation attempts I have done the following:

• Services: Stopped all Oracle related services.
• Registry: Removed all Oracle related items from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE’s SOFTWARE & SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services.
• Deleted all Oracle related items in Program Files/Oracle. Note that I do not see anything related to Oracle in Program Files (x86).
• Deleted all Oracle related items in ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs.
• Deleted all Oracle related group items in Computer Management.
• Deleted all conetent in the installed app folder associated with the install, emptied trash can and restarted my computer.

No matter which configuration I chose in the installation, on the Install Product page, while installing I always get the below error: (please note that I changed the information in the {} of below but the output is the same construct just with a different name and no “{}”.

Failed to add {USERUser} install user to %2% group.

I have to press the Continue button 6 times and then it continues the installation. I am not sure what this error is or how to resolve it, but the installation continues to completion.

From there I open up the Database Configuration Assistant to create a new database. On the Creation Mode screen, I leave all the default settings but add an administrative password and set the pluggable database name to echo the global database name to orclpdb. No issues and then I get to the Progress Page where I let it run the setup. This is where the issue becomes a problem. Below is the log associated with this and where the bottleneck appears to be with the {executing datapatch C:OracleWINDOWS.X64_193000_db_homeOPatchdatapatch.bat} portion of the setup. Again, I have renamed sections associated with the user, though not really needed, to {USER} in the below output (see the last coded block in this post at the very bottom for this log). Unfortunately, I can’t put the entire log on this site due to constraint issues.

I tried letting it run last night when I went to bed. The progress went form 36% to an outstanding 36%. So something is happening that I don’t know how to solve and I could use some help.

Note, if I try the other method and do a create and configure a single instance database instead of a setup software only configuration I get the below log files after it hangs at about the 52% progress until I cancel the install.

Below is the log associated with the software only configuration’s DBCA output:
