RCU Installation issues - oracle

I am trying to install Obiee11g on my windows machine. While running through various tutorials in the web, many of them have suggested to use RCU to create MDS and BIplatform.
However when I downloaded RCU and extracted the same. While I am running the rcu.bat in the running directory, it is just opening my OBIEE_HOME folder. I am not able to see the RCU window.
Please Help!
Cheers,
Dwarak

Create a folder named OBIEE in the drive where you are trying to install OBIEE !!

In the absence of specific error information, I will provide you some generic instructions on how to run the RCU.
Make sure your machine is compliant. I prefer Linux but for Windows, I would use x86-64 2003 / 2008 Windows server.
Open a command shell
Execute rcu.bat
Follow the prompts
Record the error and upload that for further assistance.
Some of the most common errors are:
Lack of disk space.
Low RAM
Avoid running Oracle DB on the same machine where you are running OBIEE, for performance reasons.
Unzip the RCU shiphome in a folder without spaces
Cleanup your PATH variable which might be pointing to older BI installations
%TMP% and %TEMP% paths should not have spaces either.
Do not set ORACLE_HOME
Do not set JAVA_HOME
Properly de-install previous products

You cannot have a space in the directory where the RCU is installed.

How to create system recovery partition from Windows 10

I am writing a program for Microsoft refurbishers, and I would like to include a feature for creating a system recovery partition once all the necessary drivers are installed. The problem that I am running into is that it won't let me create the .wim file while the disk is mounted. When I try it gives me the error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". I have seen guides that say to boot to a windows installer, but that seems inefficient. Is it possible to create a backup of a running machine without booting to another drive? Any help is appreciated.
This can be done by creating a shadow copy of the drive. A free project using this approach was presented by the german c't magazine as a command script.
The project can be found and the scripts downloaded here:
c't WIMage.
Unfortunately this page is in german, but the script files may show you how it works.

Tricking English installer to install on French Windows 10

I have a French client with the French version of Windows 10. However, our Installshield-built installer is looking for C:\Users\username\Local Settings\Application Data, and fails with "Error 1320. The specified path is too long"
We tried to see if we could connect to the appropriate Local Settings\Application Data folder (in English), but it is either not accessible or even as admin we don't have privileges to go there (even from an admin command line).
I understand Windows 10 has some sort of invisible aliases or compatibility for these standard folders?
Are there any tricks we could use to get the software installed?
Disclaimer: this is a hack and the correct answer was provided by slugster - rebuild the MSI
Now that that's out of the way I do have a suggestion for you that might be able to resolve the problem for you. You can try creating the path that the installer is looking for and then creating a symlink to link that folder to the correct folder on the users machine. no guarantee that this works but might be worth a shot. If you need more info on creating symlinks check out hte TechNet page for MkLink

Oracle 11g 32/64-bit | Bad Installation?

everyone. If you don't want to read through it all, the question I have is: What would cause the Oracle 11g Client Installer to not install all of the registry keys properly? I'm not sure how specific this is to my environment, so I'll try to be as specific as I can and this first paragraph may not be relevant. If it's not, I apologize.
I'm installing the Administrative deployment of the Oracle 11g Client Installer, and after installing all of the 32/64-bit ODBC Drivers, testing the credentials, SunGard EAS 11.5, etc... I receive an error from EAS 11.5 telling me...
Lucky for me, that's me! The problem is that other people are already in EAS so obviously it's not a server failure, which, since every machine is Windows 10 r14393 64-bit, leads me to the only difference between the environments: The Registry.
During the installation, I change the REG_SZ insta_loc in HKLM\Software\Oracle\ from C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory to C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\Inventory so it installs correctly. In a good install, the following registry keys appear:
Lately, only the following keys have been appearing, when installed from either my Network (Admin) Account, or the local Administrator, over the network or locally from the HDD:
Can anyone help me figure out (or answer) why the Oracle Installer(s) would only install certain registry keys? I feel like the only thing that would interfere with an install is permissions, but I've tried the same two Admin accounts I've previously and successfully installed this on to no avail. Thanks!
I recreated one of the computers in a different group policy and the install worked. The original group policy I had them in was set to automatically install certain .MSI files, and I believe those files wrote to directories with the SYSTEM account instead of using User privileges which disallowed me from writing to the directories and creating the necessary keys.

Issue with slony-I replication on postgres master and slave database

I have two system with OS windows 8 and windows XP. I installed the postgres plus advance server for database replication on both system. I followed this link for whole process.
But there is one issue with me to run the script written in .sk file extension. I have searched on google and stackoverflow but I didnot get any proper solution.
Can any one help me out to resolve this issue. If there is any query, frankly ask.
note:- this question may be duplicate on stackoverflow or any other.
Both are using on LAN and XP has domain admin account and windows 8 has local system admin account.
Typically the .sk files are scripts which are run through slonik. So something like
slonik myscript.sk
This being said, Slony-I is a very complex replication system and you are usually better off to look at streaming replication if your environment allows.

Adding Oracle ASM disk group

I am attempting to install an Automatic Storage Management instance on an Oracle 10g install on Windows Vista. I have tried using manual ASM addition via asmtoolg and also via the interactive DBCA gui. I have created and stamped 4 2GB partitions, but ASM will not recognize these and allow me to create a disk group. I'm stuck and cannot move forward with the install.
This would be placed on server Fault as this is not really a programming question. That said, are your partitions set up as basic discs as i believe that dynamic ones are not supported.
On linux, Check your rc.local file
add a chown statement so the oracle user has ownership of the disks.
add a chmod statment so the access is 660 (I think this the correct value)
If the oracle user doesn't have access to the drives it won't display them.
