OBIEE 12.2.1.3 installation hangs at 49% on Generating Libraries

Installing OBIEE 12.2.1.3 on Windows Server 2016. Fusion Middleware installed just fine, and the NodeManager and WebLogic processes are both running (I can reach WLS and FMC in the browser).
The installation of OBIEE makes it onto the Installation Process screen, and gets past the first two steps, (Prepare, Copy) successfully. It stops making any apparent progress when it reaches "Generating Libraries" with the progress meter at 49%. I've waited for a couple of hours now.
Windows Task manager doesn't show that the install is using any CPU.
What might I have missed?
The .err file doesn't show me anything that is meaningful to me, and the last few lines of the install log don't show any obvious failure.

That is the end of the installation log. It is going along nicely, no apparent errors, and just stops and turns belly-up in the middle of the road.

Hi Mark,
Any specific reason why you chose 12.2.1.3 and not the current release?
0 -
Reason: It is the current release that this client is using. I didn't even have to download anything from Oracle, because I had a download from 2-3 years ago, both FMC and OBIEE, that I've used many times in the past.
0 -
I think you clicked "correct" by mistake there. You may want to remove it.
Windows installers were and still are notoriously bad and I've hardly ever gotten an installation to work without patching or twisting some knobs on Windows side.
Is this still the same OS and Java version that they used so far? Because from the above there isn't really anything that points to an exact root cause or leads to a MOS Doc or the likes.
0 -
Yes to both questions. I installed the same Java version on the same OS.

Can you just dump it and try again? It's Windows after all so I wouldn't be surprised if it was just random garbage behaviour.
Did you fiddle with random vs urandom for entropy or anything?
0 -
I've dumped and tried again probably a dozen times over the past few days. And nope, didn't mess with any settings.
0 -
I didn't say *you* messed with something but *I* normally did as things don't work out-of-the-box
0 -
No offense taken, Christian. I appreciate the suggestions.

Hi Mark,
I know it is a year later, but I ahve the same issue , install type and environment and stalled install at same point. Did you find the problem, or what did you end up doing?
Thanks for any pointers to save me 12 retries.
