Error "error code 1603" when installing Oracle Database XE 18c in a Windows Server 2019 Docker Conta

Hi,

When installing Oracle Database XE 18c with a silent-installation in a Windows Docker container I get the following error message in setup.log:

...

...

The setup was started by the following call:

setup.exe /s /v"RSP_FILE=C:\Temp\OracleXE184_Win64\XEInstall.rsp" /v"/L*v C:\Temp\setup.log" /v"/qn"

The same call from a Windows 10 computer works, the database is installed correctly.

The Docker Container runs in a Windows Server 2019. A test-install under Windows Server 1803 container returned the same error.

The login to Windows Server 2019 was done by "local administrator". The Docker Container was started as follows:

docker run --name container1 --hostname container1 -it mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019 cmd

Windows Server 2019 is not in a domain.

Unfortunately I could not attach the complete log.

Thank you very much
