Oracle 12c Installation failed to access the temporary location

Question

I have Windows 8.1 64-bit OS running on 64-bit architecture. I am installing a fresh copy of Oracle 12C, means I haven\'t installed any version before on my system.

Answer 1

The error is caused due to administrative shares are being disabled. If they cannot be enabled then perform the following workaround:

6.2.23 INS-30131 Error When Installing Oracle Database or Oracle Client

If the administrative shares are not enabled when performing a single instance Oracle Database or Oracle Client installation for 12c Release 1 (12.1) on Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows 8, and Microsoft Windows 10, then the installation fails with an INS-30131 error.

Workaround:

Execute the net share command to ensure that the administrative shares are enabled. If they are disabled, then enable them by following the instructions in the Microsoft Windows documentation. Alternatively, perform the client or server installation by specifying the following options:

• For a client installation:

  -ignorePrereq -J"-Doracle.install.client.validate.clientSupportedOSCheck=false"

• For a server installation:

  -ignorePrereq -J"-Doracle.install.db.validate.supportedOSCheck=false"

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 21452473.
