Cannot install Oracle 12c on Windows 8.1 - Error in Process ... perl.exe - oracle

When installing Oracle 12c personal edition on a freshly minted Windows8.1 box I get the following error:
Title: Database Configuration ...
Error in Process:
C:\app\<username>\product\12.1.0\dbhome_1\perl\bin\perl.exe
Clicking ok and skipping gives the following error
[INS-20802] Oracle Database Configuration Assistant failed.
Details: The plug-in failed in its perform method ...
Trying lots of things but still come up with same error. Googling shows some users with the same error, but all end in dead-ends without a solution.
Any help much appreciated.

I had the same problem with Oracle Database 12c on a fresh Windows 8.1.
For me the solutions was deactivating a preinstalled McAfee.
I used the Windows-builtin-User during the Oracle-Database Installation.

Think this may be it. The new Windows user for the account was oracle-user. When I tried this with a username OracleUser the installation worked.
I also switched off the AntiVirus - not sure which fixed the problem
A colleague pointed me to this blog which gave a little more info.
Hope this helps someone

The issue is because of the Anti-virus program most probably McAfee. If you want complete instructions check this out - It is an explanation of the step by step installation process specifically on windows 8.1 and the perl.exe error

Oracle 12 C Installation Error

I've downloaded oracle 12c on my personal laptop. Check system compatibility (alls good). However, towards the end Im getting an error stating "Oracle Services for microsoft transaction server" denied".
Please assist,
Googling the error message leads to this as the first result:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ins_20802_oracle_services_for_microsoft_transaction_server_failed.htm
Which basically says to ignore the message and run the Database Configuration Assistant manually to finish configuring the database.
When an installation fails, you should check the installation log for more details.
In my case, the log file said "hostname too long", so I shortened the host name and was able to do a successful install.
I faced the same issue recently and it was regarding [INS-20802] Oracle Database Configuration Assistant failed error. I think the solution for it will of help in your issue too.
I tried several of the following methods for resolving the issue :-
Disabling Windows UAC
Disabling firewall
Disabling antivirus - mine was a fresh VM, so disabled Windows Defender
Adding localhost IP i.e., 127.0.0.1 to the hosts file etc.
but none of them helped.
At last I found this, which suggested installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) and this solved the problem in a matter of seconds! I just had to click 'Retry' on the installation dialog.
Do you have local "Admininstrator" rights on the account that your are installing Oracle into?
The Oracle Universal Installer is trying to create the MTS service and access is being denied. This is why I usually don't take the default install, and use the "custom" install and select the components I want. OUI will then work out the dependencies and install the correct components.
With this type of failure, you should have had an option to "ignore/skip" the error and the installer should continue and install the database objects - you shouldn't need to re-install the database objects as the the MTS service component should install after the data objects are created and they are not reliant on each other. Unfortunately the installer status will still show "failed" because of that one component failing.

Oracle11gXE 64bit not installed correctly TNSListener not starting

I am not sure if this is the right place for this question. I downloaded and installed Oracle11g XE 64bit edition in my Virtual Server ()
After this installation, TNSListener service is not starting at all. Initially I had the error message that it is configured as an Interactive Service. So I also started Interactive Service and then tried to start TNSListener, but it is not working. I tried this server time with uninstall oracle & reinstall also with system restarts. But nothing helps.
I did the same installation on my Windows Desktop 64 bit OS and here it works.
So, I don't understand where I am going wrong in my virtual server. Can someone pls help?
Found the solution to my problem.
Key Note: When TNSListener wouldn't start via Windows Services, pls try the same via command prompt. We will get to know the error in detail.
This is what I did. Check my post http://www.umatechcorner.com/oracle-tnslistener-windows-service-wont-start-solved/

Installation Error 1935

While installing my msi i get the follwing error
Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly component {98CB24AD-52FB-DB5F-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}. HRESULT: 0x800736B3. assembly interface: IAssemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, assembly name: Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32",version="8.0.50727.42",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"
I do carry Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm in my MSI. But the problem is that i do not see this issue in all machines. This is faced only on a 2012 Windows Virtual machine.
Can anyone please tell me why this error would normally come?
I think you have a corrupted windows O/S. Otherwise it is correct to test on VM's configured with a variety of virgin operating systems that you want to support. Additionally I highly advise to never use this merge module. Instead using a bootstrapper/chainer (WiX Burn, InstallShield Setup Prereqs or Suite Installation ) to install the stand alone versions of the redist from Microsoft. This helps draw a line in the sand between a Microsoft problem and a problem with your installer. It also makes upgrade servicing easier.
I got the same error message on windows 7 (32bit).
This was caused by a failure in windows update for my case.
After that, I cannot install any other program on the computer. I searched from internet and found suggestions made by Microsoft engineers: repair the system from Original Installation disc with "update to latest" choice unchecked.
However, I found another simple solution which also works for my case.
1. Click START>> and type “regedit” to run register editor;
2. Find the following directory in register: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control;
3. search by F3 for the key RegistrySizeLimit and double click the DWORD;
4. Change the key value into ffffffff(Hex) or decimal 4294967295, then click OK;
5. restart the computer;
6. run cmd.exe with Administrator's privilege, and type SFC /SCANNOW followed by Enter in command line; this scanning may take several minutes until the status is 100% and finishes;
Then the problem can be fixed!!
I got this error in my Win7x64 VM after I installed .NET Framework 4.5 required by my MSI. I had a fresh OS install with no Windows updates, plus VS2005 SP1. I ran this Microsoft FixIt: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976982/en-us, but it did not help until I restarted the VM. Once I restarted the VM, the error disappeared. I think all I needed was a restart, but I provide the above details in case it was the FixIt that actually fixed it.
On a windows 2016 server, I solved the problem by resetting DCOM security to default
launch dcomcnfg
then set Default Authentication Level to Connect
and Default Impersonation Level to Identify

Error occurs while install Oracle BIEE

I'm trying to install Oracle BIEE 11g on my computer, but something wiered happend.
I've tried on a x86 computer with 2GB memory and a x64 computer with 4GB memory. Both of them are running Windows OS. I want to connect a MS-SQLSERVER database, and I've finished creating related DEV_ tables using RCU.
I followed the tutorial from the doc.oracle.com, but then I stopped at the 14th step, it says "设置数据库连接失败". I can continue install, but another error occurs, service obisch1 cannot start. I can open localhost:9704 after installation, but it will return a 500-error after I restart my computer.
I searched the internet, it says I should set my database source using "Net Manager" Tool, but I don't know how. And after install I got a database source using driver "MERANT OEM 5.3 32-BIT SQL Server Wired Protocol", but I can't make change to it, cause the system says can't find the driver...
I don't know what to do now... Anybody can help me? Thanks very much.
Well, I've kind of solved it.
I still don't know why my computer cannot find the odbc drier "MERANT OEM 5.3 32-BIT SQL Server Wired Protocol", which seems to be the reason why I can't connect to the database at the 14th step while I install OBIEE.
However, I add an odbc-connect through the system's function, I found it in the control panel.
On the other hand, the url http://localhost:7001/em and http://localhost:7001/analytics can be still accessed(after a long time, it can be accessed).
So, then I create a rpd file use my own odbc-connect, and it seems work fine.
Thanks everybody, anyway, and hopes can help

Issue installing Oracle SQL Developer on my MacBookPro - Am I missing a component?

I had to recently re-install OS X on my MBP and am in the process of re-installing all of my apps. One app that worked just fine in the past, but is now giving me errors is Oracle SQL Developer and I can't for the life of me figure out what I am missing.
Here's what I have tried:
Downloaded and installed SQL Developer on my machine.
Downloaded the Instant Client related files - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/intel-macsoft-096467.html (I installed all of the 64 bit related stuff on this page - Im on a 64 bit machine), combined it into one folder and moved it my /usr folder using this guide: installing Oracle Instantclient on Mac OS/X without setting environment variables?
I also installed this the JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
I also set up my TNSNames.ora file and copied it to my /etc folder (This is required on a mac)
Here's my problem - If I attempt to connect to my Oracle instance using the above, it throws this error:
An error was encountered performing the requested operation:
no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path
Vendor code 0
This occurs whether I use basic or the TNS connection type.
So my question to my fellow developers is - Am I missing something in terms of the install above? I have tried googling for that particular error message and not found anything useful. At first glance, it seems like SQL Developer is looking for some file.
Thanks in advance for your answers!
EDIT - The version of SQL Developer that I am trying to install is 3.1.07 and I am trying to connect to an 11G instance.
Go to Tools > Preferences > Database > Advanced, and make sure Use OCI/Thick driver is un-checked.
Once done, try creating a connection and test. I also think you might be running an in-compatible version of Java in your newly installed OS X, so try installing JDK 1.6.0_11 or above, if the solution doesn't work.
