Error during Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Examples Installation

 

Hi All


This is the error that I got during the installation of  Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Examples.


Reproduce Issue:
1. Download and extract the  Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Examples to /11G_examples folder
2. cd  /11G_examples/examples
3. ./runInstaller

 Here the Error:

INS-32016  The selected Oracle home contains directories or files.
INS-32018  The selected Oracle home is outside of Oracle base.
INS-32025  The chosen installation conflicts software already installed in the given Oracle home.
INS-32018  Oracle Database Examples can only be installed into an existing Oracle Home. 


Reason:
!!!Seems that this is the Rapid Installer bug!!!


Action Plan (workaround):
1. Go to $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin
2. Run ./runInstaller.sh

3. Change the source product file to  /11G_examples/examples/stage/product.xml 

 4. Next

 5. Next

 6. Install

 

 7. Exit. Now Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Examples were installed successfully.

Good Luck ...
