Error after installing obiee12c

How does your VM get an IP?
If it's DHCP then it's possible your VM changed IP between the install and now and this isn't good (that's why an OBIEE install on a DHCP environment often start by installing a loopback adapter so that there is an address which will never change).

Important point !!

This is my Network connection in VM. I'm using VMWare.

I'm going to install loopback adaptor and then restart my VM to check if is the issue.
Thanks!

You are on a NAT network, which means your VMWare host is acting a DHCP server and assign an address to your VM. But when you restart a VM you often get a different IP (like a +1 because the previous was taken).
Now your OBIEE as it is installed expects to be on 192.168.68.158 , if your VM doesn't have this address it will not start as it try to connect to that address.
Ideally you define a loopback adapter before to install and add it's address to your hosts file to resolve the hostname on that address, so your OBIEE install will always be able to connect when using the hostname or IP as they are static.
Installing the loopback after and hope it fix things will not really work, your install now expect that address to be reachable.

Just quickly before you re-install: Why Windows???

Because I don't have knowledge to install a linux system... haha

Download Oracle Linux 7 (I guess it's now 7.3 or so), add the ISO to your VMware as DVD, the installer is graphical and kind of intuitive (even partitioning done automatically if you want). Just select in the list of packages the "Desktop" option so you have a graphical interface.
Linux is installed.
Then the install of OBIEE is kind of the same (and there are a bunch of blog posts around about it).
Seems to be a good occasion to learn some new pieces

As Gianni said - rather go for Linux. Windows just creates issues all over the place.

Thank you for your answers!
I'll try to install with Oracle Linux 7 when I had some time to learn! haha. Now I have a VM with Windows running. The problem was Loopback adapter. Now is working even if restart my machine.
Thanks @Gianni Ceresa and @Christian Berg for your support.
