Hi,
Attempted to install 12c EE on Windows Server 2012 using the interactive installer.
On Step 8 of 13 in the Installer is the Specify Oracle Home User screen.
I selected "Create New Windows User" and entered oracle as the user name.
Things appeared to be proceeding nicely until it failed apparently attempting to create the oracle home user.
Here is a clip from the installActions log.

Thanks for any recommendations.
