oracle 18c Express edition setup rollback during installation

tcser

18c setup rollback without prompting any error. in windows server 2012 r2

1) Is ORACLE_HOME or TNS_ADMIN set in the environment? Go to a command prompt, type "set". You will need to temporarily unset any such environment variables. This is often the cause of rollbacks.

2) Are you using Windows 10 Home Edition? It is not supported and the installer is not properly checking for it in the Prerequisite check.

3) Are you using Server 2019? Same issue.

4) On your network adapter that you are using, check (enable) "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks".

5) Check to see if Netbios is enabled on your network connection:

6) In some cases, antivirus has interfered with an installation.  Try disabling anti-virus.

7) Try creating a local user and adding to local administrator group and then log in and install as that user.

1) NO ORACLE_HOME, TNS_ADMIN was not set.

2) I'm using Windows server 2012R2.

6) I've already disabled antivirus protection during installation.

7) Okay, will try to add local user and then proceed for installation.

Please also do steps #4 and #5. They are a very common cause of installation failures.

Hi tcser,

I have also ran into the same problem and I cannot get information to know why.

There is not even any log file to trace which step was failed.

Please make sure you are not running into common issues:

I had the same rollback problem trying to install XE 18c to my home PC, Windows 10 Pro...and there was never a log file to tell me what went wrong...ARG!

I must be thick-headed because it took me two days to figure out what I was doing wrong.  As it turned out, I had been installing by launching the "Oracle Database 18c Express Edition.msi" file.  Finally, I tried launching the installation using the "setup.exe" file and the installation then completed successfully.

Thanks for the feedback. I will add this to the list of issues for people to check for.
