Hi,
Since this is my first post here, please excuse if this is the wrong forum to ask or if I forgot to add additional information.
I'm currently working on getting the silent installation of Oracle 21c XE running.
I use a powershell script to create a response file and execute the MSI package directly to be able to wait for the completion of the installation process.
I'm running on Windows 10 Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.1466) testing on VM and physical machines.
User has local admin rights and is member of the administrators group.
The installation runs smoothly up to the point where DBCA is called to create the initial CDB and PDB.

"
The installer stalls after the "Warning" message for about 20-30 minutes before continuing and successfully finalizing the installation.
For the sake of completeness, I have attached the complete install log
instal.log (33.02 MB)
Please let me know if you need additional information.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
