I have installed the Oracle 12c Apex 4.2 on Windows 7.

Upon logging in using Windows explorer, apex displays a blank screen/page.  The URL on the page looks okay.  It just looks as though it connot find my images,

This is the URL as it appears at the top of the Apex login page:

http://localhost:8080/apex/f?p=4550:1:12555235714917

everything else on the page is blank

Here is my *.war configuration output.  It looks normal:

java -jar apex.war static C:\app\oracle\product\12.1.0\dbhome_1\apex\images

WAR Generation complete

WAR location     : C:\app\oracle\product\12.1.0\dbhome_1\apex\i.war

Context path     : /i

Static resources : C:\app\oracle\product\12.1.0\dbhome_1\apex\images

The context path is set correctly to an /'i'

The resources point to my images folder

I am using the standalone mechanism to inovke Apex

java -jar apex.war standalone -apex-images C:\app\oracle\product\12.1.0\dbhome_1\apex\images

Here is the screen ouput:
