19c database install setup.exe fails - crashes and dumps core
I was trying to install Oracle 19c database 19.3 (latest download from site) onto a Windows 11 Enterprise machine and the db setup.exe crashed upon clicking "install" in the final step of the GUI setup.
To try to fix this I tried downloading the most recent patch, "Patch 36521936 WINDOWS DATABASE BUNDLE PATCH 19.24.0.0.240716". After several hours the patch succeeds but now when I re-run setup.exe, it crashes even earlier now at the "Oracle Home User" step, and creates the file hs_err_pid8708.log in my oracle_home.
The file contains a core dump, relevant section below:
