Question

Summary

Trying to install DVML, but get error message.

Content

Error: Unable to access jarfile C:\PROGRA~1\Oracle

Starting install of DVML, please be patient...

'"C:\Users\gchatzim\AppData\Local\Temp\BiPython_Framework.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Could Not Find C:\Users\gchatzim\AppData\Local\Temp\BiPython_Framework.exe

Error: Unable to access jarfile C:\PROGRA~1\Oracle

I looked at the install script and it seems to be using some OracleBI1 path, which I do not have. I have not installed OracleBI

Script lines:

set ORACLE_HOME=%~dp0

set ORACLE_HOME=%ORACLE_HOME:~0,-1%

set BI_PRODUCT_HOME=%ORACLE_HOME%\OracleBI1

Version

Version 12.2.5.3.0-20190529084035

Your suggestion worked for me and no backup was needed. I did not lose any of my projects/connections/datasets/dataflows.

Just unistaslled -> reinstalled removing any spaces from the install folder name. Now DVML is installing without a problem.

Thank you Philippe!

Great! Will follow your suggestion.

Thank you.

another security alternative : move all your projects in your current install under a single folder (within the DVD app), then export that folder as an XSA. It will create a large xsa file with all your projects & related datasets, dataflows etc in it.

Later on you may simply restore this dva to get your content back.
