Oracle Universal Installer 10.1.0.3

Hello,

Has anyone had problems running setup.exe that comes with recent patchsets on WinXP? I have run setup.exe on WinXP in the past and never had any problems. This time, I tried running setup from both the 9.2.0.7 patchset and 10.1.0.4 patchset and ended up with the generic error

|setup.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry
for the inconvenience.

Clicking for more information opens another dialog with the text

|Error Signature
|AppName: setup.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: unknown
|ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 00002022

Click for more info reveals a state dump.

If I run setup.exe with the --debug flag (two dashes), the last lines in the console windows are

|Archive:

../stage/Components/oracle.swd.oui.core/10.1.0.4.0/1/DataFiles//rac.jar
| inflating:

|3 archives were successfully processed.

before it crashes.

There was no information in the OUI installer log.

As a workaround, I ran setup.exe with the -debug flag (one dash) and was able to run the installer successfully. The additional lines from the console were

|LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable : WSw
|$wV↨w#w
|Initializing Java Virtual Machine from
"C:\..\Temp\OraInstall2005-07-26_03-30-49PM\jre\1.4.2\bin\java.exe" . Please wait...

Strangely it never made it to this point without the -debug flag. And that reference to LD_LIBRARY_PATH seems oddly out of place in the land of Windows.

I guess the moral of the story is if you ever have problems running setup.exe, run it with -debug and see what shakes out.

Thank you,
Justis
