Oracle 11gR2 installation in Windows server 2012

Question

While installing Oracle 11gr2 it gives the error

[INS-13001] Environment does not meet minimum requirements.

I've looked at the prerequisites given at the Oracle website, but everything seems to be there. There is this log file genereated, but I am not able to tell what it's looking for.

sing paramFile: E:\win64_11gR2_client\win64_11gR2_client\client\install\oraparam.ini


Checking monitor: must be configured to display at least 256 colors.    Actual 4294967296    Passed

The commandline for unzip:

Does anyone have any idea?

Answer 1

just right-click on the Setup.exe then locate for Troubleshoot compatibility, then choose recommended by the system.

Answer 2

Try running the setup.exe file as 'Run as Adminsitrator'

Worked for me!!!

Answer 3

my two cents.. I got a similar error.. [INS-13001]

it was a VERY trivial issue: this bogus installer does NOT accept workstation BIOS names with underscore... (God forgive them). My BIOS name was:

PC_GEC

changing to PCGEC it did install.

Answer 4

You need to install Oracle 11.2.0.4 on Windows Server 2012. This can be downloaded from My Oracle Support (https://support.oracle.com). See Patch 13390677 in there.

Oracle 11.2.0.1 is available from downloads.oracle.com without a support account, but is not supported on Windows Server 2012.

Answer 5

If you are trying to install the 32-bit version of the client it is not supported on WS2012

See https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e47959/pre_install.htm#NTCLI1253

Answer 6

the warning can be ignored and you can install it as windows cant provide the required file for verification.. not that it didn't have the requirements but that the response is not in the format needed by oracle software.. hence the error statement says it cant be verified and not it doesn't satisfy the requirement..

you can check it from the below data

I have the same issue, i think it is due to CVU (cluster Verification Utility), check the installation temp logs (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\2\OraInstall2014-04-11_04-40-58PM) and you will see something like this:

From what I have been able to find, Windows 2012 won't be officially supported until 11.2.0.4 (which is currently only released for Linux/Solaris).

See Oracle Doc "Oracle Database and Client Windows Installation Certification Quick Reference (Doc ID 1231433.1)"
